George Lowe

George Lowe was a golf course architect active in Lancashire and northern England during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work centered on the development and refinement of links courses in the seaside resort area around Lytham St Annes, a region that became a significant golfing destination during this period.

Lowe's most notable design is Royal Lytham & St Annes, often named among the most admired courses in the world and a regular host of The Open Championship. He also designed Preston Golf Club in Fulwood, St Annes Old Links, and Windermere Golf Club in Cumbria, demonstrating his range across both links and inland parkland settings.

His contributions came during a formative era for British golf architecture, when many of the game's traditional principles and strategic features were being established. The enduring quality of Royal Lytham & St Annes, in particular, reflects his understanding of links golf design and shot values.
