This is the view from a track taking the Stour Valley Walk towards Sandwich Bay. The Prince's Golf Club is immediately adjacent to the more famous Royal St George's golf club, and both clubs lie on the same stretch of coastline as the nearby Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club. In this photograph the Royal St George's Golf Club is actually on both sides of the track and one of the distinctive shelters for the Royal St George's can be seen on the left - see also Link

The Prince's Golf Course was completed late in 1906 as an 18-hole course. The Club captain A.J. Balfour, a former British Prime Minister, drove the first ball in the Founder’s Vase in June 1907. The Prince's is notable for hosting the 1932 Open Championship, and also as one of only two courses to host The Open just once.

The original clubhouse seen here still stands at the entrance to the course and adjacent to the 14th tee of Royal St. George's. It no longer serves as the clubhouse but instead has been completely renovated to provide a luxury lodge with accommodation for visiting golfers.
