Dunes/Himalayas Course
Sandwich, Kent, England

Prince's Golf Club sits on the same stretch of Kent coastline that produced Royal St George's and Royal Cinque Ports, occupying linksland just north of Sandwich proper. The club operates three nine-hole loops—Shore, Dunes, and Himalayas—that can be combined into various eighteen-hole configurations. The Dunes and Himalayas nines form one such combination, offering contrasting terrain within the property's sandy, undulating landscape. The Dunes nine plays closer to the sea and features the flatter, more exposed ground typical of coastal links, with holes routed through natural dune corridors and subject to prevailing winds. The Himalayas nine takes its name from the more dramatic elevation changes found inland from the shore, where larger sandhills create blind shots and sharply contoured fairways. Martin Ebert's recent restoration work has refined bunkering and green complexes across the property while respecting the original routing bones laid down in the early twentieth century. Prince's has hosted significant amateur championships and Open Championship qualifying, serving as a venue where competitors must navigate both the technical demands of links golf and the strategic choices presented by multiple nine-hole combinations. The club maintains a traditional membership culture rooted in the Kent golfing community, and its position among the Sandwich links courses makes it a destination for golfers exploring this historic corner of English golf. The Dunes/Himalayas pairing provides a representative experience of the property's varied linksland character.
