About Royal Cinque Ports Golf Course
The Royal Cinque Ports Golf Course at Deal is a past host to the Open Championship.
Laid out on a narrow stretch of land extending to Sandwich Bay. On almost every hole there is an abundance of sand dunes which makes the course unique. As with all traditional links, the wind is a major factor when deciding on club and shot selection. Once the greens have been reached, you are putting on some of the largest and fastest greens in the UK.
Think ‘bump-and-run’ and you might get along fairly nicely! A prestigious and private golf club offering a warm and efficient welcome.

Our take
Deal is the connoisseur's Kent links, an Open host squeezed onto a narrow ribbon of duneland with some of the largest and fastest greens in the country.
- Serious golfersLearn the bump-and-run or suffer. Dunes crowd almost every hole, the greens are vast and quick, and the near-constant breeze off Sandwich Bay means the low runner beats the high carry nine times out of ten.
- Higher handicapsBe honest before you book: narrow fairways, dunes everywhere and slick, enormous greens will bruise a 20-handicapper on a breezy day. The flat walk is the one mercy. Come for the experience, not the card.
- Buddy tripsOn the same stretch of coast as Prince's, so a Deal and Sandwich double-header builds itself; settle your matches on those giant greens, where a three putt is never far away.
