Royal St. Georges Golf Club
Royal St. Georges Golf Club is the first course in England to have hosted the Open Championship in 1894, and most recently hosted the event in 2011. The Club has hosted many major tournaments as well as the Open including the Walker Cup, The Curtis Cup, The PGA Championship, among others. This is a links course full of awkward twists and turns, each designed to derail an overconfident approach. Here you will find sweeping rough, deep bunkers and huge sand hills. This is not a traditional out and back links but rather is circular in a loose figure of eight. All of the holes are different and memorable. Please note that strict handicap limits are set at 18 maximum by the club for both visiting men & ladies. Ranked #12 on Golf Digest’s list of 100 Greatest Courses Outside the US.
