England Timeshare, The Open Championship, and a Course You Can Actually Play
Friday, July 15, 2011
Do your weekend plans include watching The Open Championship (or as Americans say, the British Open) on TV?
The legendary golf course, Royal St George’s, is a par 71, 7211-yard challenge and can be one of the toughest tests in golf. This time of year, the fairways are typically firm and running and the rough is high… scary high.
Royal St George’s is known as much for its dramatic views of the coast as for the blind shots it demands of golfers. Perhaps most challenging of all is the infamous hazard on the 4th hole that seems to swallow both balls and players, surpassed only by the 15th hole, which is recognized as one of the toughest holes in Open Championship golf on any course.
Royal St George’s, located in Sandwich Bay, Kent England is a private club with only limited tee times available to the public; you can get on the list to play there, but you are going to have to patiently wait your turn. However, the area is not without England timeshare and golfing options including the Hever Golf & Country Club Hotel.
Loaded with charm and character, this resort features 27 holes of championship golf, and is less than two miles from the famous Hever Castle. The Championship Course at Hever Golf & Country Club Hotel has been a host site for European Tour Events including The Kent Open and Kent PGA Championship.
