Prince's Golf Course

at The Lodge at Prince's Golf Club

Located on the Kent coastline at Sandwich Bay, Prince’s Golf Club is a leading links destination and a popular choice for golf breaks. The club offers 27 holes of traditional links golf across three distinctive nines - the Shore, Dune, Himalayas, delivering a varied and rewarding test in a classic coastal setting.

Prince’s shares its exceptional golfing neighbourhood with Royal St George's Golf Club and Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club, both former hosts of The Open Championship. The club itself has a strong championship pedigree, having hosted the Open Championship in 1932, won by Gene Sarazen, as well as more recent events including the 2023 Women’s Amateur Championship and regular Open Final Qualifying. The Walker Cup is scheduled for 2030.

Defined by undulating fairways, deep bunkering, raised greens and natural coastal rough, Prince’s offers a true links experience and an excellent base for a golf trip to Kent.

The course

• The Shore - A par-36 of 3,419 yards, The Shore runs closest to the coastline, with several holes following the shoreline. The 5th plays to the historic green where Gene Sarazen secured his 1932 Open Championship victory.
• The Dunes - Also a par-36 of 3,436 yards, The Dunes follows an anticlockwise loop bordering Royal St George's Golf Club. Combined with The Shore, it typically forms the club’s championship layout.
• The Himalayas - A par-36 of 3,376 yards, The Himalayas is a favourite among members. Redesigned by Mackenzie & Ebert and reopened in 2018, it features some of the most distinctive holes on the property, including the longest par-5 and a shared double green.
