In 2026, the golfing world will gather in Southport for the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. With excitement already building, finding the perfect place to stay is key. For comfort, luxury and convenience, Carden Park Hotel offers everything you need for a memorable trip to one of golf’s greatest events.
Just 75 minutes from Royal Birkdale, Carden Park is close enough to enjoy every moment of the Championship, while offering the calm of a countryside retreat once the day’s play is over. With ample free parking and even a helipad, travel to and from the Open couldn’t be easier.
Our recently refurbished bedrooms – part of a £6.5 million investment – feature modern interiors, stylish furnishings, and air conditioning. Many also overlook our championship Nicklaus golf course, perfect for guests who want to wake up to an inspiring view.
For those who want to play as well as watch, Carden Park is a golfer’s paradise. We’re home to two championship golf courses, the Cheshire and the Nicklaus, alongside a Toptracer driving range and a team of PGA professionals available for tuition or fun group challenges for a different dynamic.
Away from the fairways, relaxation comes easily. Overnight guests enjoy access to our indoor pool and gym. While the option to experience the award-winning Spa at Carden – complete with thermal suites and a tranquil spa garden – offers the ultimate relaxing escape.
Whether you’re looking for a casual bite to eat or a full gourmet experience, our dining options cater to every taste. From brasserie-style meals to curated tasting menu dishes at The Vines, our 3 AA Rosette restaurant, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Private dining and event spaces are also available, ideal for hosting fellow guests or clients during the Championship.
With its blend of luxury, leisure and exceptional hospitality, Carden Park is the perfect base for the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Secure your stay early and make your 2026 Open experience unforgettable.
