Some former hosts of golf's greatest team event are perhaps slightly surprising...

Royal Lytham and St Annes
GF: 18 holes: £280-£460
England's renowned golfing coast in the northwest had a strong, formative role to play in the earliest Ryder Cups, with Lytham then hosting the match for the first time in mid-October 1961. The format that year was four foursomes morning and afternoon on day one, and eight singles both morning and afternoon on day two; a gruelling schedule over such a tough and strategic test of golf. Arnold Palmer made his debut and was leading points scorer as the visitors won 14.5-9.5. They won again when it returned in 1977, this time with a young Tom Watson making his debut. Despite its slightly more enclosed nature with the railway bordering several holes, it is a classic links that has hosted The Open Championship 11 times.
