Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England is one of the courses in the Open Championship rotation. The Women's British Open has also been played on the course: once prior to becoming a major tournament and twice since.

The club was founded in 1886. It was the site of the first British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship in 1893.

It is an inland links style course, but the wind from the sea still comes into play. There are 198 bunkers on the course. The course is also unique as it is the only course on the Open Championship rota that starts with a par 3 hole.
