Host for Walker Cup, September 2003. It was the home course of the
legendary Harry Vardon, six times winner
|
Situated
some nine miles from the sea, Ganton an outstanding example
of an inland links course with so many features that are links
related. It possesses some of the finest crisp seaside turf
in England. Its sandy subsoil proves its links heritage so much
so that each new bunker that is excavated churns up sea shells
lending to the proposition that the whole of this area was once
attached to the ocean.
The
links feel is further enhanced by rolling dunes coupled with
heathland, gorse and heather. Watch out for 100 or more bunkers.
It
was the home course of Harry Vardon 6 times champion of the
Open.
Ben
Hogan captained his victorious American side at Ganton during
the Ryder Cup 1949.
