Regal Grounds and Shattered Shores: The resurrection of Prince’s

The Kent coastline has long been synonymous with championship links golf. Sea air, shifting sands and rumpled fairways define this famous corner of England. Prince’s Golf Club sits proudly among them, just beyond is the bustling seaside port of Ramsgate, with France visible across the Channel and Royal St George’s separated only by the most modest of wire fences.

Prince’s does not rely solely on history, though it has it in abundance, and nor does it trade purely on proximity to its illustrious neighbours. Instead, it offers something more enduring, a links that has weathered conflict, embraced restoration and matured quiet excellently. On this stretch of the Kent coast, with sea air in your lungs and sand beneath your shoes, you are reminded that the finest courses are not merely played, they are there to be experienced, to be fondly remembered and in time, most certainly returned to.
