| Royal St. George's has hosted The Open on no fewer than 15 occasions and as recently as 2003 when American Ben Curtis lifted the Claret Jug. Numerous huge dunes and the many undulations make this a magnificent links to savour.
Host to two Open Championships in 1909 & 1920, Royal Cinque Ports' famous course is a great test and has one of the toughest stretch of finishing holes in the United Kingdom. Having just been unofficially invited back onto the current Open rota, this is an ideal time to play it before the crowds come and the green fees hike inevitably upwards.
The legendary Gene Sarazen won the Open Championship at Prince's in 1932. It is now used as a pre-qualifying course when the Open comes to Royal St. George's, and is an example of some of the finest links land in Britain.
The Bell Hotel in Sandwich is ideally placed on the Quay so you can walk out the door to all the bars and restaurants in this historic town.
Sandwich is arguably one of the best preserved medieval towns in the UK. Within the old town walls the many period houses, with their characteristic "Kent peg" roofs, have changed little since the creation of the Domesday book in 1086.
