When The Open Championship returns to the North West, it brings an atmosphere that is unmatched in world golf. For a week in July, towns like Southport are transformed into a vibrant global hub of hospitality, excitement, and celebration. But if you’re attending as a group, one critical question always threatens to dampen the spirit: “Who is the designated driver?”
At Manpool Transfers, we believe that attending The Open should be a “First Class” experience for every single person in your party. Don’t let logistics force one of your group to miss out on the best parts of the Championship.
The Open is More Than Just 18 Holes
The Open isn’t simply about watching the world’s best golfers tackle Royal Birkdale or Royal Liverpool. It’s about the social experience that surrounds the main event.
- The Spectator Village: A sprawling hub of massive screens, interactive experiences, and, most importantly, bustling bars and food outlets. It’s the perfect place to soak up the atmosphere, especially during the afternoon pairings.
- The Famous 19th Hole: Every nearby clubhouse, from Hillside to S&A, opens its doors, offering a unique chance to mix with fellow fans from around the world.
- Southport’s Vibrant Nightlife: After the final putt drops, the celebration continues in the restaurants and bars along Lord Street and the promenade.
Forcing one of your four-ball to remain sober all day just to navigate the heavy event traffic back to a hotel in Manchester or Liverpool is a penalty stroke. It’s an endurance test that can overshadow the entire trip.
Total Freedom with a Private Driver
By booking a dedicated Mercedes-Benz V-Class or Executive Minibus with Manpool Transfers, you unlock “19th Hole Freedom” for everyone.
- No Compromises: Every member of your group can enjoy a celebratory drink (or two) at the course, in the hospitality tent, or in town, knowing the drive home is taken care of.
- Door-to-Gate Service: Forget about long walks from remote public car parks or trying to coordinate multiple taxis. We pick you up from your hotel or rental apartment and get you as close to the entrance gates as possible.
- Travel in Luxury: Our V-Class vehicles offer a private lounge environment, allowing you to rewatch the day’s highlights and discuss the leaderboard on the way back to your base.

Demand for transport during The Open is unprecedented. Local taxi services become overwhelmed, surge pricing hits rideshare apps, and availablity for larger vehicles disappears months in advance.
