Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club Kent
The Deal course is traditionally laid out on a superb strip of seaside duneland extending to Sandwich Bay. The natural links terrain has been subtly used to provide a wide variety of challenges. Every hole is unique with undulating greens and fast, firm approaches. Unlike most other courses the fairways are just as undulating providing a true test of golf.
As with all traditional seaside links, the wind is a major factor which has to be taken into account when deciding on club and shot selection. The bunkers (67 in total) are large but fair and easily seen from the tees and fairways, and are in the most part steep and revetted. Not all holes have bunkers but this in no way diminishes their degree of difficulty.
It is easy to see why The Royal Cinque Ports is rated in the top 50 courses in the British Isles.
