Locally referred to as “Deal”, Royal Cinque Ports is an approachable, friendly golf course that offers interesting golf over the rolling, rumpled links land. Blind shots coupled with interesting greens allow for max memorability, and even if it is 100+ years removed from the Open Rota, seeing how the game evolved in tournament hosts is one of the real joys of playing golf courses like Cinque Ports. It may be located near Royal St. George’s, but it is not in the shadows, and well worth the time to stop and enjoy this brilliant sporty links.
