Overview
Wallasey, on the coast of northwest England just outside Liverpool, was founded in 1891 and was designed by Old Tom Morris. In 1930, Bobby Jones advanced through Open Championship qualifying at Wallasey, before winning the championship at nearby Royal Liverpool en route to his Grand Slam year. The course is also the birthplace of the Stableford format, named after Dr. Frank Stableford who came up with the format while playing the second hole. The course has a combination of sheltered holes playing amongst dunes as well as others that are quite flat and exposed.
