Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club is an 18-holelinksgolf course, in the town ofDeal inKent, in southeasternEngland. The course is often known simply asDeal.
Founded 133 years ago in 1892, its name derives from Deal's membership of an ancient group of trading towns granted special privileges by the medieval English monarchs, known as theCinque Ports. The course runs along the coast ofSandwich Bay, on the same stretch of coastline asRoyal St George's Golf Club andPrince's Golf Club, adjacent to the north.
Royal Cinque Ports hostedThe Open Championship in1909 and1920. Two more were scheduled for1938 and1949, but both were relocated when abnormally high tides inundated the course; both were held at nearby Royal St George's. Consequently, the club was removed from the Open Championship rota, but remains a final qualifying course (most recently in 2025). It has also continued to host various other tournaments includingThe Amateur Championship (1923, 1982, 2013) and, since 1925, it has hosted the Public Schools Championship every year.
Karen Stupples, winner of the 2004Weetabix Women's British Open, is a member of Royal Cinque Ports.
