STAY & PLAY OPEN PACKAGES
There’s nothing better than hitting a ball around in the morning then heading next door to The Open to see the experts do it better! No offence but if you were as good as them you wouldn’t be reading this. Seriously, we have a few amazing options playing literally next door on the same land to Royal St. Georges at two equally inspiring layouts; Princes Golf Club and Royal Cinque Ports. Our tee-times are in the morning and because you are right there you can attend The Open immediately after lunch – brilliant – no one does it better!

Royal St George’s was the first Open venue in England and has held The Open Championship on 14 previous occasions since 1894, with the most recent in 2011. The course is located in Sandwich, Kent, south east of London and offers links style holes with incredible views of The English Channel. Take note of the 4th hole which has, as some say, the highest bunker in England.
