Royal St. George’s Golf Club has a lot of history attached to it.

Royal St. George’s Golf Club became the first club outside of Scotland to host The Open Championship and has hosted The Open Championship fourteen times, the fourth most of any course in Open Championship history.

Royal St. George’s Golf Club is a fine looking course, but maybe not as beautiful as some of the courses on here. But, nevertheless, given its roots in history it would be worth playing at Royal St. George’s Golf Club.
