2026 Golf Events in the North West: Don’t Just Watch, Be There

Golf Transfers: V Class & Executive
by ManPool
on April 3, 2026

While The Open 2026 at Royal Birkdale is the headline act, the North West’s “Golf Coast” and the surrounding regions are packed with elite competitions throughout the year. From prestigious amateur championships to professional tours, 2026 is shaping up to be a historic year for golf in our corner of the UK.

If you are planning to attend these events—either as a spectator or a competitor in the various “Open” days—navigating the local traffic is the biggest hurdle. At Manpool Transfers, we provide the executive transport you need to ensure you arrive at the clubhouse on time and in total comfort.

Major Highlights for the 2026 Season

Beyond the Claret Jug, several high-profile events are worth marking in your calendar. If you are travelling as a group, our Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Executive Minibuses are the perfect way to move between these iconic venues:

  • LET Access Series at Manchester Golf Club (6–10 July 2026): Just before The Open kicks off, the professionals of the Ladies European Tour Access Series descend on Hopwood. With over 100 golfers competing, it’s a fantastic chance to see elite golf for free. We provide direct transfers from Manchester city centre and the airport.
  • The Southport Coast Links Championship (10–14 August 2026): A massive five-day event across six of Britain’s finest courses, including S&A, Hesketh, West Lancashire, Hillside, and a grand final at Royal Birkdale. For competitors playing every day, we offer a “Championship Week” shuttle service, moving you and your gear between these courses seamlessly.
  • The North West of England Links Championship (August 2026): Hosted at Hillside and Royal Birkdale, this 72-hole scratch event is one of the most prestigious in the amateur calendar.
  • The David Marsh Trophy (3–4 September 2026): Held at Southport & Ainsdale, this is a staple of the senior amateur circuit.

Why Professional Transport is Essential for Event Days

Attending a major tournament or a multi-course championship is a different experience than a regular weekend round. The logistics become far more complex:

  • Traffic Management: During events at Birkdale or Hillside, local road closures and diversions are common. Our drivers are local experts who know the “back routes” to avoid the spectator bottlenecks.
  • The “Club Space” Guarantee: If you are competing in a multi-day event like the Southport Coast Links, you’ll have a lot of gear. We provide massive boot space for tour bags and trolleys. No bags on laps, ever.
  • 19th Hole Freedom: Major events have an incredible atmosphere. By booking an executive transfer, your whole group can enjoy the hospitality and a few drinks at the course without worrying about the drive back to the hotel.

Seamless “Meet & Greet” for Incoming Competitors

Many golfers fly into Manchester (MAN) or Liverpool (LPL) specifically for these regional opens. Our VIP Meet & Greet service means you don’t have to navigate the airport with heavy flight bags. We meet you in the arrivals hall, handle the heavy lifting, and provide a direct executive transfer to your hotel or the first tee.

Don’t let the logistics of a busy tournament schedule handicap your experience. Trust the North West’s golf transport specialists to get you to the green.
