Travel to Royal Birkdale — Without the Hassle

Exceptional Demand Anticipated for The Open’s Return to Royal Birkdale

The return of The Open to Royal Birkdale is expected to draw very large crowds, reflecting the Championship’s global appeal and the venue’s history of hosting one of the best-attended Opens in England. With spectator demand traditionally exceeding available capacity, early planning is strongly advised for anyone travelling to the event.

Plan Ahead for Smooth Transport Access

With tens of thousands of spectators moving through Southport each day, local infrastructure, parking availability, and rail services are expected to be extremely busy throughout Championship week. Securing dedicated transport in advance is one of the most effective ways to avoid congestion, manage arrival times, and ensure reliable access to and from the course.

INTX provides pre-planned, fully managed travel solutions designed specifically for high-attendance sporting events, allowing guests to bypass logistical challenges and focus on enjoying the Championship experience.

“Our role is simple,” said Andrew Globe, Managing Director of INTX. “We make getting to and from major sporting events effortless. With 25 years of experience behind us, we understand the importance of punctuality, presentation, and providing a journey that complements the prestige of occasions like The Open.”

Supporting International Visitors Arriving via Manchester and Liverpool

The Open attracts a significant number of international spectators, many of whom will arrive into the UK through Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport—both offering straightforward access to Southport and Royal Birkdale. Liverpool Airport is located approximately 30 miles from Royal Birkdale, while Manchester Airport sits roughly 45–50 miles away. Although the venue is within easy reach of both gateways, Championship-week congestion and increased visitor numbers can impact travel times. Pre-arranged transport is therefore essential to ensure a smooth, reliable transfer from airport to accommodation and on to the course, allowing inbound travellers to avoid delays and begin their Open experience with confidence.

Making the Most of the Region’s World-Class Golf

For many visitors, The Open is also an opportunity to experience the exceptional links courses that line England’s Golf Coast. INTX supports spectators extending their stay by providing dedicated transport to and from renowned nearby venues such as Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club and Hillside Golf Club, allowing guests to enjoy additional rounds without the challenge of navigating unfamiliar roads, coordinating tee times with travel, or arranging multiple vehicles. With pre-scheduled transfers and flexible vehicle options, golfers can focus on playing some of the finest courses in the country while INTX manages the logistics.

Book Early for The Open

Demand for transport during Championship week is expected to be high. INTX encourages attendees, corporate hosts, and travel planners to secure their arrangements early to guarantee availability and ensure a seamless event-day experience.
