Golf
For those of you interested in golf the Wirral is an excellent place to visit as it is the home of no less than 14 golf courses, four (all less than 10 miles from Mere Brook) of which are part of England’s Golf Coast involving a breathtaking coastline and picturesque countryside. Although I personally don’t play golf I regularly walk along this coast and always think what fantastic locations these golf courses are in and that it must be amazing playing a sport you enjoy in such wonderful surroundings.
The most famous of the four is the Royal Liverpool, at Hoylake (20 minute drive from Mere Brook) which is one of England’s oldest and most historic golf clubs and has been the scene of many of the defining moments in British golf. The latest came in 2006 when Tiger Woods achieved a very emotional win of the Open Championship.
One of the most unique is Caldy (15 min from Mere Brook), a striking 6707 yard course that really does have its own character that’s all its own due to the unusual combination of cliff top, links style holes that are complemented by a stretch of parkland style holes that wind their way inland by the River Dee.
Heswall is the nearest, just 5 miles from Mere Brook and is situated on gently sloping land with spectacular views over the Dee estuary. Abundant wildlife on the Dee marshes, a protected and internationally recognised bird sanctuary, contribute to the Heswall experience, as do the views which take in the suspension bridge near Connah’s Quay, the Clwyd range including Moel Famau, Point of Ayr and Hilbre Islands. The clubhouse which has been extended and refurbished, has a wonderful terrace which overlooks the Welsh Hills and is the perfect place to watch magnificent sunsets over the Dee estuary.

Finally the Wallasey course (10 minutes from Mere Brook) has been described as “the Diamond in the Dunes”, in recognition both of its idyllic setting amidst undulating land close to the Irish sea as well as the excellent test of golf it offers. The club also has a unique claim to fame being the home of the renowned Stableford scoring system used in competitions at golf clubs all over the world.
