  • Visitors daily (weekends limited)

Last checked

Can we play it?

Yes. Formby takes visitors, with weekday and weekend rates for 2027. Saturdays and Sundays are members' competition days, so weekend times are limited. Bring a handicap certificate: maximum 28 for men and 36 for women. Add it to your trip and Scotland Golf Tours requests the tee time for you.

  • Access

    Visitors Monday to Friday; Saturday and Sunday are members' competition days with limited visitor times. Winter maintenance November–February may bring temporary greens or a shorter course.

  • The catch

    Summer weekends are the hardest to get because members' competitions come first, and you pay the higher £350 rate.

  • Our tip

    Book the clubhouse Dormy (10 guests): its 1-night, 2-round package includes unrestricted tee-time access, and the evening dining room looks over the 18th green.
