Characteristics
Often reverently referred to as the "Sacred Nine," Royal Worlington & Newmarket Golf Club holds a unique and prestigious place in golf history. Founded in 1893 and serving as the home of the Cambridge University Golf Society, it is widely cited as the finest nine-hole course in the world. Situated on sandy soil in Suffolk, the course offers a true "inland links" experience with firm fairways and superb drainage year-round. While modest in scale, the layout is deceptively challenging, defined by its undulating greens and the legendary 5th hole, a par-3 frequently lauded by architectural critics as a masterpiece. The atmosphere remains steeped in tradition, favoring quick play in two-balls across its storied fairways.
