Sharing the historic grounds of Lytham Hall, Fairhaven provides a golfing journey like no other, bringing together the desirable links style challenges of the rolling dunes, fescue topped grasslands and revetted bunkers. Unlike other courses, it uniquely introduces a blend of heathland and parkland golf into its links features, providing a charismatic charm like no other golfing experience.
Designed by James Braid and local professional J.A. Steer, many of the testing features introduced at its creation are still present to challenge golfers of all abilities, particularly the humps and hollows that flank the majority of holes. Contrary to fable, there have never been 365 bunkers but there were certainly more than the present 118, as the original hollows were filled with sand until 1939.
Throughout its history, the Club has continually developed the course to ensure it maintains a stature of being a Championship Course, although in 1996 Justin Leonard took just 64 strokes to circumnavigate the challenges that so many of us struggle to navigate today.
