In 2026, history will be made once again at Royal Birkdale. From Peter Thomson’s 1954 victory to Jordan Spieth’s 2017 heroics, this course is a theatre of icons. At The Cliff, we are proud to sit right at the gateway to this historic landscape.
Following our recent extensive renovations, The Cliff has been elevated to provide a backdrop worthy of such a prestigious event. We have invested heavily in our interiors and facilities to ensure that when the world looks at Birkdale, they see the very best of British hospitality.
Our position in the heart of the village makes us the “discerning spectator’s” choice. We offer a truly distinguished atmosphere for those who appreciate the finer things in life. While the village below buzzes with the energy of the crowds—and our sister site Coast welcomes those looking for a casual “pop-in” brunch—The Cliff remains a reserved retreat.
Elevate your Open week by joining us for a private lunch or a sophisticated evening gathering. At The Cliff, you aren’t just near the action; you are experiencing the very best that Birkdale has to offer.
