As part of Sandwich Bay’s legendary triad of Open Championship hosts, together with Royal St George’s and Royal Cinque Ports, Prince’s Golf Club is a classic seaside layout that remains at the heart of British golfing history. Prince’s remains somewhat of a hidden gem but it is undoubtedly one of England’s finest courses, the newly refurbished Himalaya's 9 and short game area complete the golfing experience.
Found in Sandwich, nestled among the striking sand dunes of Kent’s east coast, Prince's is an excellent option for UK golfers looking to play some true championship golf. The Lodge at Prince's Golf Club provides top-quality accommodation for those staying nearby and is the hotel of choice for golfers taking on all three of the Open hosts at Sandwich Bay.

Prince's Golf Club is a rare golf links gem with three loops of nine holes. The Shore, Dunes and Himalayas courses provide a memorable golf trip experience that sits proudly within the Top 100 Golf Courses in England.
As a past host of not only The Open Championship but also of numerous key professional events and most recently as co-host of The Amateur Championship in 2017 and 2013, Prince's Golf Club is a course that can provide a mighty challenge for the very best golfers, whilst providing a playable test off the yellows for the many who visit for a golf break in Kent each year.
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.
Prince's Golf Club is ranked as one of the best courses in London and the South East
The Shore course is the longest of the three 9 hole loops and as the name suggests, it follows along the shoreline south towards the lodge which is located at the entrance of the course.

Very comfortable stay. Only small issue being the restaurant noise levels in the evening due to room acoustics.

Golf is always great at Princes, whatever the weather! Course as usual was perfect. Staff seemed really impatient at both the lodge and the bar. They are dealing with big groups and whatever we asked they seemed to be annoyed and quite rude. The bar staff in the lodge were really nice, the rest not so much. The food was generally poor and that was feedback from a large usually unfussy group. Basically poor pub grub. Rooms nice, and all in all it’s good value but the golf makes up for it!

Bathroom was a little tired but otherwise what you need for an onsite accomodation. Other clientele at the venue were very drunk and disruptive but staff appreciated this and dealt with them as well as one would expect.

A little outdated in some areas, bedrooms for sure need sprucing up and the room I stayed in (Links Suite), although clean and comfortable, the hot water to the sink & shower took an age (if at all at the sink) to come through. I had it checked but advised as the room was at the end of the hot water flow, it would take time. That’s a hell if a lot of water wasted and the 5 nights I was there, there was no hot water at the sink (aside from wasting the water, the sink plug couldn’t hold the water in the sink). The shaver socket didn’t work either. So again a little refurb will go a long way. Staff were so friendly and supportive, the bar area is comfortable and the food very good, with a good selection on the menu to suit most needs. It’s pay as you go if booking through YGT as opening a tab is not permitted unless you book direct with Princes.
