THE BIRKDALE BALLOT
Royal Birkdale Golf Club is proud to introduce a special 2026 initiative designed to celebrate the domestic game and give golfers from across the Home Nations the opportunity to play its championship links during a landmark year for the Club.
As Royal Birkdale prepares to host The Open Championship, interest in experiencing the course is understandably high. To mark the occasion, the Club has created The Birkdale Ballot - a limited ballot offering UK golfers the chance to enjoy one of the world’s great championship venues at a preferred fourball rate of £396, equating to under £100 per player.
The ballot is open to golfers holding an active WHS handicap and membership at a recognised club in England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland. Entrants will nominate two preferred tee times from a published list, with successful applications drawn at random. Full payment is required upon confirmation.
Due to the exceptional number of applications received for the Birkdale Ballot we have had to create a secondary event to allow for the demand, this will allow more golfers from across the Home Nations the opportunity. To enter the ballot please follow the link below.
