Visitors will get the chance to play golf inside Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium this summer in an exclusive first for the Club’s waterfront home.

It marks the first time Upper Deck Golf has hosted at a stadium outside North America.
The four-day event will give participants the chance to hit a series of approach shots from different vantage points around the ground, while enjoying alively, festival-style atmosphere with music, food, drinks and a range of golf challenges.
Participants will also be able to watch live golf coverage of the 154th The Open Championship, taking place at Royal Birkdale just a few miles from the stadium, on screens across the venue.
