“Britain’s finest course.” – Gene Sarazen

Princes Golf Club is one of the finest tests of links golf in the UK. It boasts three nines - the Shore, Dunes and Himalayas – with the combination of the Shore and Dunes usually seen as the championship 18. A stiff sea breeze almost always adds to the challenge here, but if you’re game’s not up to the test you can always just take in the stunning views over Sandwich Bay to the white cliffs of Ramsgate.

The course held the Open Championship in 1932, when it was won by the great Gene Sarazen, and the first two nines are still used for qualifying for the Open at St Georges.

Royal Cinque Ports is a two-time former host of the Open Championship that winds its way between the dunes on a narrow stretch of land extending to Sandwich Bay.

The fairways are typically undulating for a links course and there are plenty of bunkers. For the most part these are steep and riveted, but they are large and easily seen from the tees. When you reach the greens you’ll find they are among the largest, fastest and finest in the UK.

In 2002 the Club was placed both 47th place in the ‘Golf World Top 100 Courses’ and the ‘Top 10 Favourite Courses’ in the Independent National Newspaper.

Royal St Georges is quite simply one of the finest and toughest tests of golf in the UK. The course has held the Open on many occasions with past winners including Greg Norman and Sandy Lyle.

It is a classic links with rolling fairways, dunes waiting to gobble the ball up and smooth firm greens. There are plenty of pot bunkers lying in wait and just ask Thomas Bjorn how difficult it is to get out of them – the leading Danish player took three to get out of the greenside bunker at 16 on his way to throwing away a four-shot lead in the final round of the 2003 Open Championship.

“Chart Hills has surpassed even my expectations and I doubt that anyone would ever tire of playing this course" Nick Faldo

Hailed as one of the finest recently-built golf courses in England, Chart Hills in Kent is the British architectural debut of six times Major winner, Nick Faldo.

Chart Hills Golf Club is set on what Faldo called "the perfect piece of land", 200 acres of gently undulating hills with 200 year old oaks.

Chart Hills was officially opened for play in August 1993 and has already gained many accolades: being voted "Best new course in England" by Golf World, and number 5 in World of Golf's 2004 listings of top 200 courses in UK & Ireland.

Chart Hills blends over 130 bunkers, with clever and abundant use of water hazards, and greens so fast that in the summer months, it is like putting on glass! Two of the signature features of the design include the long "Anaconda Bunker" on the 5th hole and the illusive island green on the short 17th hole.

Please note - due to the location and quality of the golf course, the full course is available for play year-round.

Founded in 1888, Littlestone is a Championship Links Course laid out on the natural undulating land between the famous Romney Marsh and the English Channel in the South East corner of Kent. The coastline enjoys a unique micro-climate which makes it one of the driest places in Britain. The course is presented in superb condition throughout the year and temporary tees and greens are unheard of.

The Club is proud of being chosen as a Final Qualifying venue for the 2011 Open and a very recent report by the R & A Agronomist states that the greens at Littlestone are 'magnificent and.. some of the best examples of firm, true and well paced putting greens in the UK'.

Littlestone Golf Club is a traditional two-ball club with four-ball play by visitors on Wednesdays. All Visitors are Members for the day and as such can play from the Medal Tees, enjoy the exceptional practice facilities and the relaxed, friendly ambience of the Clubhouse.
