Royal St. George's Golf Club (Championship Course)
Links Course in Sandwich, England
Royal St. George's Golf Club, nestled on the Kent coastline in Sandwich, England, stands as a venerable institution in the world of links golf. Founded in 1887 by Dr. William Laidlaw Purves with the ambition to rival the great courses of Scotland, it holds the distinction of being the first club outside of Scotland to host The Open Championship in 1894. This historic links has since welcomed the championship a total of fifteen times, solidifying its place in golf's elite rota. The course is renowned for its dramatic dunes, undulating fairways, and strategically placed, often deep, bunkers, including the tallest in championship golf on the 4th hole. Its layout presents a classic links challenge, demanding precise ball striking and strategic thinking to navigate the natural contours and unpredictable bounces. While Royal St. George's is a celebrated Open venue itself, the surrounding area in Kent has also played a role in the championship's history, with nearby courses having served as Open Qualifying locations, adding to the region's significant golfing heritage.
