ST.ANNE'S OLD LINKS GOLF CLUB

This club was formally opened On Midsummer's Day, 1901. The first 5,300 yard, 18-hole course was formed by utilising part of the Lytham & St.Annes Clubs original links which had been relinquished in 1898.

The first purpose-built clubhouse opened in 1905, but builders and developers were already making inroads into the surrounding area. In 1911 the present course and clubhouse opened at Cross Slack.

During the 1914-18 war parts of the course were put under cultivation. The same happened in the 1939-45 war, and in addition, the R.A.F. took over a section of the links.

The ruins of Cross Slack hamlet are on this course. Some people believe this to be the site of the Saxon Chapel or oratory of Kilgrimol.
