Relive the Drama: Iconic Open Moments to Remember as the Championship Returns to Birkdale

As we count down to The Open 2026, the air in Birkdale Village is already starting to buzz. Royal Birkdale is a course where legends are made—who could forget Arnold Palmer’s legendary 6-iron from behind a bush in 1961, or Jordan Spieth’s “miracle” recovery from the practice ground in 2017?

At Coast Birkdale, we are proud to be right in the thick of that history. Located just a short stroll from the links, we are the village’s premier destination for golf fans who want to soak up the atmosphere without the fuss.

Planning your tournament day?

  • The Perfect Pre-Golf Fuel: We don’t just do breakfast; we do a Coast Brunch. Pop in before the first tee-off for a relaxed, high-quality start to your day.

  • A Hub for the History-Makers: Discuss the day’s leaderboard over a round of drinks. 

While our sister venue upstairs, The Cliff, offers a more formal, reserved experience for those seeking a quiet sanctuary, Coast is where the heart of the tournament beats. Come as you are, and join us in celebrating the return of the Claret Jug to our doorstep!
