Princes Golf Club (Dunes/Himalayas)

Overview: This Prince’s routing combines the Dunes and Himalayas nines at Sandwich, Kent, for an 18-hole links round of approximately 6,812 yards and par 72. The Dunes nine is listed at 3,436 yards and the Himalayas at 3,376, so the stored combination is the sum of those two current loops rather than a separate third course. The ground is firm, open and shaped by coastal wind, with the player needing to manage bounce and angle as much as carry distance. Martin Ebert is associated with the modern course work recorded for the complex.

History: Prince’s was founded in 1906 and has hosted major championship golf, including the 1932 Open Championship. The links were rebuilt and altered after wartime damage, and the club now presents three named nines that can be combined in different 18-hole permutations. That history is important for this record: Dunes/Himalayas is an exact current routing, not a claim that the club has only one fixed 18-hole course. The profile therefore keeps the opening year open while documenting the destination’s established history and current routing structure.

Did You Know? The combination changes the direction and rhythm of the round compared with Himalayas/Shore or Shore/Dunes. Because each nine is par 36, the total remains par 72, but the wind can make the same individual loop play very differently depending on whether it is the opening or closing side. The club’s current Laddie composite is a separate modern offer and is not confused with this directory routing.
