As part of Kent’s great triumvirate – in association with St George’s and Cinque Ports – Prince’s Golf Club is a classic seaside layout that remains at the heart of British golfing folklore. The 27 holes at Prince’s are now used for the qualifying event, but the golf course has in the past hosted the Open Championship proper, underlining the fact that it is one of the United Kingdom’s best kept secrets.

Henry Cotton and Gene Sarazen are not only among the game’s greatest names, but are also at the head of the lengthy line of Prince’s admirers; among the accolades these golfing legends bestowed were “the greatest links course” and “Britain’s finest course”.
The layout itself is a classic seaside course in character, reflecting the inherent features of the local terrain. The humps, bumps and hollows created by the Kent coastline’s myriad of sand dunes are heaven-sent for golf, and course architect Charles Hutchings (1902 Amateur Champion) took full advantage.
Prince’s, like its visiting golfers, is always at the mercy of the elements, and the character of the golf course can alter dramatically with the wind. Rugged and unpretentious, Prince’s is pure links golf, and is without doubt one of the country’s brightest gems.
