The premier links course in England, measuring over 7,200 yards with a par of 70, Royal St George’s routing is brilliant.

No two consecutive holes play in the same direction, with heavily undulating fairways, plenty of quirks and blind shots that define this traditional links. The best holes in my opinion are 5, 6 and 14, with the latter considered one of the best par 5’s in championship golf. Of course, I made par at ...

Best holes: 5, 6, 14

15 time open championship course and steeped in history.

Played it on a calm and warm day and still a stern challenge off the medal tees which required regular sunday best carry just to reach the fairways. What all the tv coverage doesn’t show is just how much elevation change there is. The course itself was in excellent condition - lovely springy links t...

Bernard Darwin on Royal St George's "As nearly my idea of Heaven as is to be attained on any earthly links".

Walter Hagen summed up Sandwich with the following. "The first nine holes – tremendous fun, not very good golf. Second nine holes – tremendous golf, no fun at all." Who am I to disagree with Hagen? However, fun golf is great golf to me. The front nine does take you through the most rugged of the dun...

George’s is steeped in history, having hosted 15 Open Championships—and it’s easy to see why. The course is subtle in its design, with no singular “wow” moments, yet it delivers a consistently strong collection of golf holes without any real weaknesses. Unlike some traditional links layouts that pla...

This is England's best course and one of the world's best links.

"First nine holes, tremendous fun-not very good golf. Second nine holes-tremendous golf-not fun at all"-Walter HagenI don't think that I can completely agree with the Haig but he did play the course before many of the alterations that are in place now. I will say that the first 12 holes play through...

There’s little more to be said about this outstanding course that’s not already been covered.

I do, however, have some observations on the routing. The two loops with holes running in every conceivable direction is, indeed, ingenious, the beneficiary of having 500 acres of land to work with. But I was less than enamored with one aspect not usually found on links courses: that a number of hol...

This course takes no mercy, it’s a monster with some fantastic holes, 1 - 4 stretch was my favourite.

Having played the other neighbouring courses you can see why this is still on The Open rota as it’s a vast, undulated expanse of land which the others don’t have. The starter was fantastic and super friendly.The club was lacking in its hospitality, pro shop was friendly enough but wasn’t that k...

I was fortunate to be able to play five rounds in three days and stay in the dormy house as well. The course was in great shape, especially considering it was early March. I can’t remember having seen that strongly undulated fairways and greens anywhere else. This course must be really tough in firm...

Seeing multiple St George’s cross flags at a golf course was making me anxious.

Flashbacks of sitting in a train returning from that game in Berlin last summer, surrounded by enough people being antisocial (at best) whilst singing songs about former glories (glory) confirmed there’s some small truth the stereotype about English football fans. We were therefore re...

Took a train ride on a nice November day back in 2015 from London to Sandwich and played Royal St George's and to this day I still remember the experience as being one of the best golf days ever.

Nicest people you would ever want meet, from pro shop (Set me up with a great set of Calaway clubs) to the locker room. The course was an absolute gem to play. Met up with a local player (Eddie from Deal) on the back nine which was a wonderful experience. When I finished my round and asked to use th...
