Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club

Kent, England

Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club, located in Deal, Kent, is a prestigious links course renowned for its challenging layout and traditional design. The course features a distinctive routing described as "straight out and straight back," with the inward nine holes presenting particular difficulty, especially in windy conditions. Its final four holes are celebrated as among the finest consecutive holes in world golf. As a pure links course, Royal Cinque Ports demands accurate long-hitting golf across open terrain with minimal shelter. The course is characterized by demanding par-4s and par-5s, with pars and birdies relatively scarce. The layout requires strategic shot-making and resilience against the elements typical of English seaside links golf. The club has hosted significant tournaments and maintains strong historical credentials, with endorsements from legendary golfers including Gary Player, James Braid, Peter Alliss, and Bernard Darwin. The course exemplifies traditional links golf architecture and continues to challenge golfers of all abilities through its unforgiving design and exposure to coastal weather conditions.
