Royal St Georges is quite simply one of the finest and toughest tests of golf in the UK. The course has held the Open on many occasions with past winners including Greg Norman and Sandy Lyle.
It is a classic links with rolling fairways, dunes waiting to gobble the ball up and smooth firm greens. There are plenty of pot bunkers lying in wait and just ask Thomas Bjorn how difficult it is to get out of them – the leading Danish player took three to get out of the greenside bunker at 16 on his way to throwing away a four-shot lead in the final round of the 2003 Open Championship.
Royal St Georges is located one mile from Sandwich on the road to Sandwich Bay. From Canterbury take the A257, or from Dover take the A258. |
