Sandwich, England, is a historic and celebrated golfing destination, best known as the home of Royal St George’s Golf Club.

Founded in 1887, Royal St George’s is one of the premier championship links courses in the world, having hosted The Open Championship multiple times since 1894.

The course is famed for its challenging layout, featuring deep bunkers, undulating fairways, and the unpredictable winds off the English Channel. It demands strategic play and rewards precision, making it a true test for professionals and amateurs alike.

The town of Sandwich itself is steeped in history and charm, offering a perfect backdrop for a golfing getaway.

Prince’s Golf Club, located adjacent to Royal St George’s, offers a unique golfing experience with its 27-hole layout divided into three nine-hole courses: Shore, Dunes, and Himalayas. The club has a rich history, having hosted The Open Championship in 1932, where Gene Sarazen made history with his victory.  Recently, the club has undergone significant renovations, enhancing its natural links feel and introducing dramatic sandy scrapes and new sea-facing par-3 holes. The Himalayas loop, once considered the weakest, now rivals the others in quality.

Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club, also known as Deal, is another historic course in the area. Founded in 1892, it has hosted The Open Championship twice, in 1909 and 1920. The course is renowned for its challenging layout, narrow fairways, and deep bunkers, providing a true test of golfing ability. 

Together, these three courses form a golfing trifecta on the Kent coast, offering a blend of history, challenge, and natural beauty that attracts golfers from around the world.

Golfers visiting Sandwich enjoy the combination of world-class golf and quaint English seaside town atmosphere. With easy access from London and the continent via nearby ports and airports, Sandwich is popular among international golf tourists.
