The Royal and Ancient Golf Club has announced that Royal Liverpool Golf Club (Hoylake) will once again play host to the Open Championship from 20th to 23rd July 2006.

The Open is no stranger to Hoylake, and was last held here in 1967. In the years since that historic championship, the modern logistical demands that the Open places upon the host course has meant that the Royal Liverpool was ruled out as an Open venue.

Now, however, with plans in place as a result of an agreement
between The Royal and Ancient Golf Club, Royal Liverpool Golf Club and the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, the Open will make a long-overdue return.

The agreement was necessary to ensure success in hosting the Open and covers areas of mutual responsibility such as accessibility to the venue, travel infrastructure, accommodation, traffic and resulting congestion, car parking, and spectator
access.

One essential element in ensuring the Open's return to Wirral was the club's purchase of an additional 10 acres of land adjacent to the course plus the commitment to build a new practice ground close by, on the municipal course owned by Wirral Council. A move seen to not just help the Open but put something back into the community in the hope of encouraging new talent to emerge.
