Spectator Car Parking:
Please be advised of a change to the usual overspill car parking arrangements for the Lytham Trophy.
The overspill car park, typically used from Thursday to Sunday of Lytham Trophy week, has been relocated this year. This is due to the unexpected continuation of the road closure at Links Gate, related to the ongoing resurfacing works.
The overspill car park will now be located in a marked area of the Short Course, accessible via a gate on Beauclerk Road. For those unfamiliar with the area, please note that Beauclerk Road is split into two sections. The section providing access to the overspill car park gate can only be reached via Lima Road or Lindsay Avenue.
This location and the best access route is shown on the map:
The revised location offers convenient access to the Lytham Trophy practice area tee. From here, players and spectators can walk to the clubhouse and first tee by following the internal perimeter road (marked in yellow on the attached map)
