South East England

Kent, along with the broader southeast of England, functions as a vital “buffer zone” between London and the European mainland. Millions of travellers traverse this region annually, particularly through the Channel Tunnel that connects Calais to Folkestone, making it a bustling gateway for international visitors. 

With over a hundred golf courses scattered throughout Kent and Sussex, golf enthusiasts have a wealth of options in this picturesque “Garden of England.” Among the highlights are three prestigious courses that have hosted The Open Championship: Royal Cinque Ports, which held the event in 1909 and 1920, Prince’s Golf Club in 1932, and Royal St George’s, a remarkable venue that first hosted the tournament in 1894 and has done so 13 times since. These historic courses not only offer challenging play but also showcase the stunning landscapes and rich heritage of the region, making them must-visit destinations for golfers.
