What the club says: The Deal course is traditionally laid out on a narrow stretch of land extending to Sandwich Bay, and the natural links terrain has been subtly used to provide a wide variety of challenges. On almost every hole there is an abundance of large sand dunes which establishes the undulating character of the course and makes it unique. Unlike most other courses the fairways are just as undulating and it is seldom that a completely flat stance can be obtained other than on the tees. As with all traditional seaside links, the wind is a major factor which has to be taken into account when deciding on club and shot selection.

As stunning an example of a traditional links as you’ll find anywhere in the UK. You can understand why Royal Cinque Ports has broken into the Top 100 in the World in recent years. The course was in sublime condition; tight, firm fairways, wickedly undulating greens and the traditional out and back layout. The Club has a quaint Halfway House serving a selection of hot and cold items. We were warmly welcomed in the clubhouse and the Pro Shop had a great selection of clothing and trinkets to buy. An excellent day out made better by the helpful weather! 10/10.

Over Rated/Poor quality
As the title suggests this course/club is poor at best. Recently visited with a society and treated as 2nd class citizens. I’m a member at a prestigious Surrey member’s club myself and I’m astounded as to what they’re charging here. The course was okay, although the greens were no better than the fairways, our pro/shop greeting was surly and dour, with the culinary delights as tasty as the bar service….poor!I found out whilst there that they were charging £185 for a round, in the afternoon! Quite how they get to that figure is beyond me. It’s worth £65 at best and no more. The food was tasteless and cold, water in showers was of similar temperature. Fortunately we also played at Royal St George’s and witnessed the complete other end of the spectrum although yet to play Princes but looks of similar quality to RSG. Don’t waste time/money at Cinque Ports, you’ll be very dissatisfied.Reviewer Rating

Superb traditional out and in links. Fantastic staff, welcoming environment in the clubhouse, course in immaculate condition and extensive practice facilities. Their new putting green must be one of the largest in the country and is excellent.

Very Disappointed
Can’t believe how poor this place is. I understand all the links blurb, small stretch of land, traditional links etc, but this course is really living off its neighbours. Clearly the poor neighbour of RSG and now Princes, this course is quite some way being the other two. Avoid playing this at all costs as simply not worth the money. A local Kent municipal is better.Reviewer Rating

Royal Cinque Ports is a classic links course which is in great condition all year-round. It's an incredible course with a lot of history. It's simply outstanding.

Best Course I've ever played!
Beautiful traditional links course on the South East Coast of the UK. Steeped in history, this former Open Venue was my chosen location for a birthday treat!Not sure that the course justifies the £185 green fee but it was most definitely in amazing condition! They probably price it high to protect the course and offer value for money against it's next door neighbour (Royal St Georges).
The driving range was a treat to play off grass rather than mats but the fact that you had to pay for the balls left a bitter taste after shelling out for the green fee! The balls weren't great but at least there was somewhere to warm up.
The Pro shop is very well stocked with lots of products with the club logo for souvenirs.
The half way house was great with good food and drink!
The course itself is lovely perfectly manicured fairways and greens with easily playable whispy rough winding its way along the classic track. Go any further in though and you'll be looking for your ball for hours in deep grass! It honestly is the best kept course I've every played.
If you are like me and love a Links Challenge, this is one of the very best! Treat yourself and get caddy unless you have GPS because there are a few blind(ish) tee shots to hit and hope!

a great experience to play a classic links course. Staff in the clubhouse were great, halfway house a little rude. Course was great, want to come back. Great day.
