Championship Golf with Heritage
One of England’s oldest links courses, Prince’s Golf Club boasts a rich history, including hosting the 1932 Open Championship and, more recently, serving as a venue for final Open Qualifying and the Amateur Championship. The club’s 27 holes and central clubhouse welcome daily visitors, including fourballs, groups, and society bookings.
Prince’s is set to further boost its reputation by hosting the 53rd Walker Cup in 2030, adding to its long-standing legacy in women’s and men’s competitions.
Club Investments and Facilities
Prince’s is investing in the future by restoring natural sand features, extending fairways, updating the clubhouse, and adding a putting studio alongside new Toptracer driving range technology. The Lodge at Prince’s, with 38 en-suite bedrooms overlooking Sandwich Bay and Royal St. George’s, is also being upgraded.
Supporting Women and Junior Golf
