Looking forward to the new year and exciting times ahead!
We are delighted to announce that Rob Marchbank will be joining us as our new Course Manager in January 2025.
Rob has served as Deputy Course Manager at Royal Birkdale and has been an integral part of their team for many years.
We look forward to welcoming Rob to our team.
Motivating the team for the weekend ahead. Appraisal time @UK_Husqvarna
Performance - excellent 👏
Perimeter Cuts - sharp 🔪 and straight 📏
Goes above and beyond working through the night @FairhavenGolf
Big thanks to @RobMarchbank & @FairhavenGolf. First time for me taking on two jobs at the same time. Ian doing a great job on tee and path construction at fairhaven, working closely with Rob while I'm busy elsewhere. Great teamwork what it's all about going forwards!

Superb day at Royal Birkdale! Sean and the team doing outrageously good work! And excellent to hear from @GlennKirby on dollar spot management and @bechelet on the environmental credentials of CRFs! Great event @RobAinscoughICL
Another amazing day with @spanner82efc from Royal Birkdale GC and @philipturner82 from Royal Hoylake GC and @MikeRollinsSIP. Thanks for showing us great hospitality. Someone else showed up at Royal Hoylake too!
One of the largest undertakings of phase 1 was the redesign of the 5th. Often regarded as the weakest hole on the course, it now poses a different challenge. 327y from the champ tees to a well-guarded green, how many pros will take it on during @TheOpen in 2026?

The 18th Hole – A formidable par 5 to conclude (Par 4 from the Championship Tees). This lengthy challenge leads back to one of the most iconic views in golf, the Royal Birkdale Clubhouse. Securing a birdie here can make that post-round drink taste all the sweeter

All the major works have been completed in phase one, and with the warmer weather, the newly seeded areas are beginning to mature
