Prince's Golf Club offer all that is the best in modern golf, but is steeped in a wealth of golfing history. The layout of Prince's today is more modern than most of our links, because it has twice risen Phoenix-like from the desolation of war.
After the First World War, Prince's hosted the Open in 1932 and was the scene of Gene Sarazen's most famous victory and was once the majors that led to the American's feat of becoming golf first 'grand slammer'. Although now not on the R&A's rota for the Open, Prince's is still a final qualifying course when The Open is played on the neighbouring royal St George's. Other Championships played at Prince's include the Curtis Cup in 1956, British Ladies in 1922 and 1995 an 4 Satellite and Challenge Tour events for 1989 to 1997. Peter Alliss won both the Schweppes PGA Championship and the Piccadilly Medal at Prince's.
The Prince's Links are about to enter a new phase in their development under the guidance of Ronan Rafferty and his partner, golf architect Martin Gillett, during which time the Shore and Dunes courses will be modified, on order that the Prince's continues to provide a tough challenge to the modern tournament player whilst at the same time presenting amateur players with a fair test of golf.
So Prince's will continue to welcome all golfers - and is renowned for its hospitality making it most popular venue for society and corporate golf days. With its 27 holes set in 400 acres of natural dunes, golfers do get the feeling of getting away from it all and they can get away from it all 7 days a week!
The Club house, located at the centre of the three Championship nines offers panoramic views for up to 200 diners and this unique layout enables almost any golf day format to be accommodated.

Course Details
Course Name: Shores Holes: 9 Yardage: SSS: |
There are generous fairways which meander through the Sand Dunes. Many greens are set slightly above the fairway level, so 'good' iron play is needed to find these demanding greens. You will need a deft touch with a putter on the greens that house subtle burrows. You will need to pay careful heed to the ditches which come into play on several holes presenting formidable hazards. But if your game is in good shape, bring it to Prince's and present it for examination. This famous links will surely provide you with a fair opinion of its worth.
