Interactive Golf Activity

Background

The Open Golf Championships offer a great opportunity to showcase both Southport and Sefton. This is alongside highlighting the range of high quality golf courses along England's Golf Coast. The purpose of a golf interactive zone is to support a number of strategic aims which include growing the value of the visitor economy in Sefton; enhancing the reputation and visibility of Sefton/Southport to a national and international audience and building on Sefton's reputation to host major national and international events.

Further objectives include engagement with golf fans and families not attending The Open; an extension of the days' activity - after golf has finished for those staying in the Town Centre and also as a vehicle to engage with the local community (residents, businesses & Schools) which aims to extend the footprint and attract new audiences.
