Knott End Golf Club

Founded in 1910 and redesigned by James Braid in 1921, this Fylde coast 'course of two halves' opens with five holes running beside the River Wyre estuary, offering views of Morecambe Bay and the Lake District, before dropping into a sheltered, tree-lined back nine. The notorious short 11th, surrounded by water and out-of-bounds, has wrecked more good scorecards than any other hole, and the 1999-built clubhouse sits right on the sea wall.
