Prince’s unveils 2019 Open Week schedule

Prince’s Golf Club in Kent has unveiled the schedule for its ever-popular Open Week.

The 2019 Open Week runs from August 5-10, and features competitive open competitions for men, ladies and pairs, across the full range of handicaps.

“The Open Week in August is a very important week for us,” said Rob McGuirk, Prince’s Golf Director. “It’s our chance to show serious golfers what a great course we have, and while there is stiff competition, the number of repeat visitors is testament to the great fun atmosphere we create during the week.”

The week tees off with a Pairs Texas Scramble on August 5th (£55pp), before competitors are asked to take on all 27 holes at the Kent venue on the 6th for the Prince’s 27 (£55pp). The Mens and Ladies Stableford is scheduled for August 7th (£55pp), while that is followed by a Pairs Betterball competition on the 8th (£55pp). The Mixed Silver Salver (Greensomes) is on Friday, August 9th, with the week rounded off with the 27-hole Mixed Shingle End fourball betterball on the 10th(£80 per pair). Each event includes coffee on arrival and a one or two-course meal. The cost to play in all six days of golf is £250.

With excellent accommodation offered at The Lodge at Prince’s, Open Week competitors have the option to stay on site, with 38 bedrooms available in a variety of different formats with either sea or course views. The Lodge, which has AA three-star status, also includes two luxury suites, The Links and The Bay, which offer king-sized beds, two bathrooms and private seating areas. A package for the whole of Open Week, to include six days’ golf and five nights’ accommodation (based on twin occupancy in a standard room) costs £450.
