Fantastic course, very expensive but you pay for the prestige of playing at the course where The Open was held, once in a lift time

Just completed a truly memorable experience at Royal St Georges. Stayed overnight at the club in the Dormy House which gives me a view of the course from my window and really made me feel part of the club for a day. Met Geoff the Steward who could not have been more helpful. The had a great cooked breakfast before heading out into 30mph winds to play this years Open venue. My day ticket included a wonderful carvery meal in the dining room (jacket and tie required and the followed this up with another 18 holes of Championship golf course this time in sunshine but still a strong wind. This is not the best course in Britain by a long shot but is still clearly a very fine links course and a stern test of your shot making ability. Very well conditioned despite the many GUR bunkers for the Open. However as an overall experience it was truly unforgettable and a relative bargain for £215 for 1 nights B&B, 36 holes and an excellent lunch. Service throughout was excellent and very welcoming. Although beware the long walk to the 10th if you are teeing off from there!

this course never stops changing, the scenery is brilliant, weather is often its own from the rest of the county.
but when its bad it can really be a nightmare. though iv seen this very few times, in summer its always worth the 2 hour drive

With the upcoming Open in 2011, the course is being prepared, with some of the bunkers being GUR, but this in no way detracted from this being one of the finest courses I have ever had the priveledge of playing.
The members and staff at the club were most helpful and welcoming. I fully recommend playing this course, a fantastic test of Golf.

Brilliant
I played it 4 weeks before The Open so pretty much as the professionals would. Brilliant to be able to watch The Open tv coverage knowing the course and comparing to how I played it.Reviewer Rating

Tough course and you have to plot your way round. Greens were very good. Not a very welcoming Club.

Always a great experience here! Great fun to walk in the footsteps of so many golfing legends.
Pro shop and caddymaster very friendly and helpful. Everything in the clubhouse is very traditional - In this respect RSG doesn't do modern so probably best not to expect it to avoid disappointment. There are plenty of good places in Sandwich for food and drink if you forget your collar and tie anyway.
Excellent day out and worth paying to do at least once in a lifetime! Or twice...

You pay for the name.
It's expensive, lets start there, you pay a premium for the name and the open rota status. If you look past the price, the course is fun to play and in generally good condition. The greens had recently been aerated and we didn't get told until we got there, which was disappointing. It's a classic stuffy UK club that gives you that slight imposter syndrome, jackets in club house, long socks etc. I personally came away wanting more from the experience. I've since played at Prince's next door and had a much more satisfying day and at less than half the price. It's hard to not recommend playing an open rota course but don't expect too much more.Reviewer Rating

Great Course - stuck in ancient times
This is an amazing links course host to next years Open. Everything about the course lived up to expectations. However, how archaic to put a group of 150 golfers crammed into the tiny Snack Bar after finishing the round rather than remove the stuffy requirement of Jacket and Tie in the main Lounge (obviously empty). This is not the way forward.Reviewer Rating
