Venue

Princes Golf Club

Kent, England

Princes Golf Club offers 27 holes of championship links golf located on the stunning coastline of Sandwich, Kent. The course features three loops of nine holes providing consistent challenge throughout the layout. Following significant redevelopment since 2017, the club has established itself as a premier venue, appearing in all Top 100 Great Britain and Ireland rankings. The course showcases a historic links setting with an idyllic coastal environment. The three nine-hole loops demonstrate considerable strength in depth, offering a golfing challenge comparable to many of Britain's finest links courses. The terrain and design balance modern standards with historic character. Princes has hosted prestigious championships including the 2023 Women's Amateur Championship and served as Final Qualifying venue for The Open Championship from 2018 to 2022. The club's most notable historical achievement was hosting the 1932 Open Championship, won by Gene Sarazen. Looking forward, Princes is scheduled to host the 2030 Walker Cup. The club benefits from its proximity to Royal St. George's and offers on-site accommodation at The Lodge, featuring views across Sandwich Bay and toward Royal St. George's.
