Lytham Green Drive Golf Club

What Lytham Green Drive Golf Club does

Lytham Green Drive Golf Club is a private members golf club founded in 1913 in Lytham St. Annes, Lancashire, on England's "Golf Coast." The club operates an 18-hole parkland course (6,248 yards, par 70) that served as an Open qualifying venue in 1974, 1979, and 1988, and is described as walkable and accessible across handicap levels. The club is governed by its membership rather than external investors, with no disclosed funding, parent company, or M&A activity.

The business generates revenue across multiple streams: membership subscriptions, visitor green fees, open competition entry fees (£15–£40), PGA professional lessons with Head Pro Simon Wilson since 2018 (£30–£50), golf studio hire with launch monitor and camera system (£20/hour or £100 per 6-hour package), pro shop sales, equipment hire (buggies and trolleys), and clubhouse food and beverage via the Steers Bar and a new terrace. Hospitality facilities include the Mackenzie Suite for functions and a snooker room. Operations are supported by 9 employees, with externally maintained digital infrastructure: BRS Golf for tee-time and competition bookings, HowDidiDo for handicap tracking, and Club V1 for the Members Hub.

The club serves gents, ladies, seniors, and juniors — segments reflected in its open competition calendar — and explicitly welcomes walk-in visitors and society groups. Strategic emphasis visible in the data is on minor capital reinvestment (terrace, golf studio), digital booking integration, and annual competition programming rather than expansion or capital-market activity. Revenue, membership counts, and pricing for membership tiers are not publicly disclosed.
