Where Golf Meets Festival Energy: Birkdale Glamping x Scottsdale Golf
As July approaches, the excitement around Royal Birkdale Championship week is already building. Every year, golf fans travel from across the world to Southport to witness one of the game’s most historic tournaments and experience the unique atmosphere that surrounds it.
In 2026, that atmosphere will extend beyond the course.
Birkdale Glamping has partnered with Scottsdale Golf to create a golf festival experience just minutes from Royal Birkdale Golf Club. Combining luxury glamping accommodation, live entertainment and a community of passionate golf fans, it offers visitors a new way to experience Championship week in Southport.
A Partnership Built Around Golf Culture
The collaboration between Birkdale Glamping and Scottsdale Golf is about more than sponsorship. It brings together two brands that share a genuine connection to the game.
Scottsdale Golf is one of the UK’s leading golf retailers, trusted by players across the country for equipment, apparel and expert advice. Their involvement helps shape an experience designed specifically for the golfing community during Championship week.
The result is an environment where the social side of tournament golf comes to life. Early mornings filled with anticipation, conversations about yesterday’s leaderboard, and the shared appreciation of a brilliant round.
For many fans, those moments are just as memorable as the golf itself.
The Social Hub of Championship Week
Major tournaments create an atmosphere that extends far beyond the course.
Birkdale Glamping is designed to become part of that experience during Southport’s summer of golf in 2026.
Guests will be able to:
Start the day with fellow fans before heading to the course
Watch live coverage of the tournament on the big screen
Enjoy food, drinks and live entertainment throughout the day
Return in the evening to a lively community of golf fans
It’s a place where the conversations continue, the excitement builds, and the stories from the course are relived long into the night.
Golf by Day, Festival Atmosphere by Night
When play finishes at Royal Birkdale Golf Club, the atmosphere around Southport continues long into the evening.
Evenings at Birkdale Glamping will bring live music, entertainment, and a festival-style setting powered by golf culture. It’s this combination that gives the event its unique identity - a blend of golf and glamping in the UK with the energy of a summer festival.
