The renowned venue on the Kent coastline will host the biennial team contest for the first time.
Prince’s will stage the 53rd Walker Cup between Great Britain and Ireland and the United States of America in 2030.
The renowned venue on the glorious Kent coastline will host the biennial team contest for the first time.
Prince’s staged The Open in 1932 – famously won by Gene Sarazen – and hosted Final Qualifying for The Open from 2018 to 2022.
The famed links in Sandwich also have an illustrious history of staging leading amateur events, including the Women’s Amateur Championship, most recently held in 2023.
Since 2017, Prince’s has undergone a significant redevelopment programme, including upgrades to the clubhouse and enhancements to the 27-hole offering.
Johnnie Cole-Hamilton, Executive Director of championships at The R&A, said, “The Walker Cup provides the opportunity for elite amateur golfers to perform on a world-class stage, and Prince’s will certainly continue that rich tradition in 2030.
“It is a venue which boasts an impressive pedigree, from the facilities off the course to the challenge on the wonderful links, and it promises to be a fantastic occasion when the match is played there.”
Rob McGuirk, General Manager at Prince’s, said, “It’s an absolute privilege to be invited to host the Walker Cup in 2030.
“To be among the esteemed hosts of what is perhaps the most revered men’s amateur competition in the game is a source of immense pride for everyone associated with Prince’s Golf Club.
“We have worked closely with The R&A on a number of championships in the past and we look forward to continuing that relationship in the years ahead to ensure a great match is held.”
The dates of the Walker Cup at Prince’s in 2030 will be confirmed at a later date. Cypress Point Club in California will host this year’s contest in September, while the 2026 match will be played at Lahinch in Ireland and the 2028 match at Bandon Dunes in Oregon.
