Royal Cinque Ports
Kent, England
Royal Cinque Ports, known locally as Deal, is a classic championship links that has twice hosted The Open. The course runs out and back along Sandwich Bay, with a front nine that steadily builds before unveiling a famously demanding closing stretch. The finishing holes, played directly into the prevailing wind, are among the toughest in links golf – a test of both stamina and precision. Subtle undulations, deep bunkering, and firm, running fairways give the course its character, while the seaside setting provides constant drama. Often described as one of the most underrated links in the UK, Royal Cinque Ports rewards those who seek tradition and authenticity.
