Royal Cinque Ports
This is links golf as it should be: elemental, strategic, memorable. Founded in 1892, Royal Cinque Ports is a Members’ Club with a celebrated 18-hole course that rewards placement and touch. It has hosted The Open (1909, 1920) and many of the game’s great amateur events, a pedigree that is evident from the first tee.
