Golf nearby:

Royal St Georges Golf Club, Sandwich
A classic links course and home to 14 British Opens -- most recently in 2003 won by Ben Curtis -- Sandwich, as it is also known, features fairways that weave through large sandy mounds covered with fescue. Because it is nearly treeless and completely exposed to the winds coming off the North Sea, controlling shots can be extremely tough. The eighth hole, a 453-yard par 4, features one of the largest, deepest bunkers in golf, having been carved out of the side of a hill.

Royal Cinque Ports Golf Course, Deal.
The Deal course is traditionally laid out on a narrow stretch of land extending to Sandwich Bay, and the natural links terrain has been subtly used to provide a wide variety of challenges. On almost every hole there is an abundance of large sand dunes which establishes the undulating character of the course and makes it unique. Unlike most other courses the fairways are just as undulating and it is seldom that a completely flat stance can be obtained other than on the tees. As with all traditional seaside links, the wind is a major factor which has to be taken into account when deciding on club and shot selection.

Princes Golf Club, Sandwich.
Prince's, with its 27 holes of championship Links has hosted the Open Championship and is currently an Open Qualifying Course. Prince's offers all that is best in modern links golf: a centrally located clubhouse offering magnificent views over the course and Pegwell Bay and helpful, attentive staff who understand your needs.
