What the club says: Royal St George’s is one of the world’s great courses. Having hosted Opens, PGA and Amateur Championships and Walker and Curtis Cups, it has been witness to more golfing history than any other in England. It was also the setting, in the guise of Royal St Mark’s, of golf’s most famous fictional match, the contest between James Bond and Goldfinger.
Designed by William Laidlaw Purves in 1887, it has constantly evolved to pose a tough test for championship and more modest players alike. In common with many links, it is characterised by humps and swales, dunes and wild rough, fast-running fairways and deep bunkers.

turf
The turf is excellent to strike balls from, even in Winter. Greens were pure and rolled fast and true. The fescue was cut back a lot this time of year which means it played much easier for us than it would in the summer with less ball searches required, so an acceptable pace of play too.Reviewer Rating

I absolutely loved the history and immaculate condition of this course. It lived up to all my expectations of an Open venue. The greens were exceptional, and everything was well-tended. I definitely need to play here a few more times to really appreciate it!

Fantastic ourse - definitely worth a visit!
Hosted the Open in 2021, absolutely premium course to play. Great if you keep it straight. Comfortable shoes recommended as quite firm under foot. Remember a suit, shirt and tie if you want to eat/drink inside the clubhouseReviewer Rating

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

Superb
Played RSG on a beautiful day in early September. The wind was about 15mph. I started brilliantly, only 3 over after 10. It went down hill a bit after that as I started driving badly. The course is great especially the front nine. Holes 2 to 8 are the most memorable. 4 is iconic, with the massive bunker you drive over and 5 has those mountainous sand dunes to go over for you second shot. The changing rooms are nice but I found the bar a bit underwhelming. Still we enjoyed a couple of masterbrews outside on the terrace - very nice.(Round played: Sep 2019 - Score: 83 Handicap: 11.7)
