PRINCE'S GOLF CLUB
🏴 Sandwich, Kent, England
Designed by Martin Ebert
The Shore Course at Prince's Golf Club occupies linksland adjacent to Royal St George's and Royal Cinque Ports in the historic golfing corridor of Sandwich, Kent. Martin Ebert redesigned the course as part of a comprehensive reconfiguration of Prince's three nine-hole loops, creating a championship-standard layout that takes full advantage of the property's natural duneland terrain. The routing moves through classic links topography characterized by rumpled fairways, deep bunkering, and the exposed conditions typical of England's southeast coast.
Prince's Golf Club itself dates to 1906 and has hosted significant amateur championships, including multiple editions of the British Amateur and English Amateur. The club's proximity to Royal St George's has occasionally seen it serve as a qualifying venue when The Open Championship visits Sandwich. The Shore Course represents the most recent evolution of the property's golf offering, designed to provide a stern test while preserving the traditional links character that defines this stretch of coastline.
The course plays across varied terrain with several holes running along elevated ground that offers views toward the English Channel. Wind direction and strength dictate strategy on most holes, and the bunkering style reflects both the site's natural contours and modern championship requirements. Prince's maintains a welcoming atmosphere for visitors while serving its membership, and the clubhouse provides straightforward amenities befitting a links club with over a century of history in one of England's most concentrated golfing regions.
