The 141st British Open Golf Championship 2012 will be held at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire between 19th-22nd July 2012.

We have chosen the Mercure Wigan Oak Hotel for your stay at The Open.  By train the journey is approx. 45 minutes and Wigan is only about 40 miles by road to get to the course.  This modern hotel is in an enviable town centre location. Close to main motorway links of the M6, M61, and the main rail route. The spacious double or twin rooms have flat screen TVs with freeview channels, hospitality tray, hairdryer and free wifi internet access.   Large, secure on-site car parking is free to residents. The excellent restaurant offers full range of menus and is complemented by a well stocked bar. The lively town centre is a short stroll away.


Included in your package price is:

  • 7 nights accommodation sharing a twin/double room (16th - 23rd July)
  • Breakfast daily
  • 3 dinners in your hotel (simply advise the hotel which nights you would like to dine)
  • Packed lunches for the four championship days (19th - 22nd July)
  • Return standard class rail tickets from Wigan to Lytham on the four championship days (19th - 22nd July)
  • Season ticket for the 2012 Open Championship (16th - 22nd July)
  • VAT @ 20%


We can change any of the above, except the dates/hotel, and custom build a package to suit your needs.  Why not play on some of the great golf courses in the north west of England while you are there.  We will book your tee-times for you.  Prefer to have a rental car instead of the train?  No bother, we will organise this for you.
