Location
Despite the club's name of Royal Liverpool, its clubhouse is located in the small town of Hoylake, at the northwest corner of the Wirral Peninsula, which is separated from the city of Liverpool by the estuary of the River Mersey. The golf course extends between Hoylake and the neighbouring town of West Kirby, to the southwest. Consequently, the course is often referred to as Hoylake, after the town. It has a single 18-hole course, which is a seaside links.
The Open Championship was held at Royal Liverpool in 2006 for the first time since 1967. The course's routing was changed slightly for the championship, with play starting on the club's 17th hole and concluding at the par-5 16th hole.
