The Open 2026 at Royal Birkdale: V-Class & Executive Transfers

by Driver Matty•
V Class Executive Taxi Transfers

The 154th Open is returning to the stunning Royal Birkdale in Southport from 12 to 19 July 2026. As one of the most iconic venues in golf’s rotation, Birkdale is set to host tens of thousands of fans descending on the Merseyside coast to watch the world’s best compete for the Claret Jug.

Whether you are heading to the practice days (starting Sunday 12 July) or the Championship rounds (Thursday 16 to Sunday 19 July), getting there in comfort is key.

Why Choose Executive Transfers for The Open?

Royal Birkdale is a “jewel in the crown” of golf, but with high attendance comes significant traffic and strict local access rules. During the tournament, public parking is usually restricted to Park & Ride facilities.

By booking an executive transfer, you bypass the stress of navigating event signage and crowded shuttle buses. Our drivers provide a seamless door-to-door service, allowing you to focus on the golf rather than the Sat Nav.
