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.
As of July 2011, coinciding with the Open Championship at neighbouring St George's, Princes Golf Club is available for fully fledged stay and play golf packages. The construction of the dormy house style Lodge at Prince's Golf Club means that high quality accommodation can be added to the outstanding course for golf break visitors.
The Lodge at Prince's is located adjacent to the club's main entrance, overlooking the 13th green at Royal St George's, and transforms Prince's into the focus for golf breaks in Kent. Golfers have the option to enjoy the 27 superb holes onsite at Prince's or savour some of the Garden of England's other top class courses like St George's and Royal Cinque Ports.

We just returned from our 4-day golf tour of Kent and enjoyed it tremendously. St. George's Hill and Royal St.George's are very special and Royal Cinque Ports and Prince's are very decent strips of links. We had a great tour and everything went like clock-work. I will use Your Golf Travel again in future and will recommend it to others. Kind regards,
I really enjoyed my golf break at Prince's Golf Club. The setting is a bit remote but lovely and peaceful nonetheless.
The golf course was in good condition, especially the greens, and the service and staff attitude were right out of the top drawer. The manager, pro shop, and waiting staff were all friendly and helpful and we were made to feel like we were valued members of the club. The feel reminded me of my club at home. The Dunes and Shore loops are superior to the Himalaya, but management knows this and work is planned to improve the whole experience.
Transport from town is expensive, but I walked the public footpath through St. Georges to Sandwich for dinner and enjoyed it immensely. The manager, who was very friendly, actually gave me a ride to the station when I was leaving which was very generous.
The rooms at the Lodge are new and first rate. This golf break package is fantastic value for money and I am happy to recommend it to golfers looking for first class links golf at cut prices. I will indeed contact YGT for future golf breaks as the service was great. Top marks!
