Open Competitions in Kent

Why Enter an Open Golf Event in Kent?

Kent is home to the most concentrated stretch of championship links golf in southern England. The Sandwich coast — with Prince's, Royal St. George's and Royal Cinque Ports within a few miles of each other — has hosted The Open Championship eighteen times between them and forms one of the great links trios in world golf. The Sandwich Coast Links Championship and South East of England Links Championship rotate across the three venues each year and remain landmark events on the amateur calendar.

Beyond Sandwich, Littlestone on Romney Marsh and North Foreland at Broadstairs extend the Kent links experience along the coast, while Knole Park's deer-park parkland at Sevenoaks brings a contrasting inland championship venue inside the M25. With direct rail from London St Pancras to Sandwich and the M2/A2 running through the county, Kent is one of the most accessible and rewarding destinations in the country for amateur tournament play.
