Royal Lytham & St. Annes is the kind of course that rewards you greatly for hitting your ball in the right spots, but when you don’t there is trouble ahead.
The heather and gorse are very punishing, and if you don’t hit it there, there are 204 bunkers all around the course just waiting to greet you. It’s a short course, but accurate, ball-striking is essential to making your way around Royal Lytham & St. Annes.
