About this listen

In this episode of the NCG Top 100s Podcast, host Tom Irwin is joined by Rob McGuirk, General Manager of Prince’s Golf Club - host venue of the 1932 Open Championship.


Rob delves into one of golf club's great debates - what are the best 18 holes at Prince’s?

With 27 in total, he and Tom explore how a composite routing might look - and whether it could once again be worthy of hosting The Open for the first time since 1932.

The conversation also uncovers the extensive renovation work that has recently taken place at Prince’s as they prepare to host the 2030 Walker Cup.

How the team has toughened up the course, refined its character, and enhanced its defences compared to the layout that welcomed golf’s oldest major nearly a century ago.

Rob also offers a personal perspective, reflecting on growing up in the area, his journey in the game, and what it means to play a leading role at a club with such deep heritage and ambition.
