Easy to find the club, easy to park, friendly staff, 1st Tee always has someone waiting, sometimes multiple people all waiting to Tee off. Great condition course, easy enough to navigate, plays well.

Had our wedding reception here 8th June 2024, the DJ was amazing and Adam and Leigh were very friendly and gave us the best experience, however we did not enjoy the main course and the meat was a little dry and bland, the scenery around the golf course was amazing, Adam even let us drive the golf cart to the lake area so our photographer can take some photos of us 2 we couldn’t of asked for more and the whole day and night was amazing, would highly recommend having a wedding reception here!

We played today on a lovely sunny day! The course is in great condition with numerous out of sight greens - causing some confusion for first timers. Conditions were very dry - no mud or water anywhere except for the lake on 18th. I would suggest some more on course signage as we spent 5 mins looking for 18th tee!!! We will be back. Another round a few years later - some of the complexity comes back to you… a great day!

Very nice golf course. Well maintained and receptive greens. Open layout of holes and friendly banks either side of the fairways, didn't lose a ball all round.

As a photographer, I couldn't have asked for a better setting to capture unforgettable moments. The picturesque surroundings, exquisite décor, and warm ambiance provided endless opportunities for breathtaking photos. The rooms were beautifully lit and had natural light shining through. From intimate portraits to candid shots of joyous celebrations, every frame reflected the love and happiness shared by the newlyweds and their guests. I am grateful to The Darenth staff for their professionalism and hospitality, making it a seamless experience to document such a special day.

Attended a family wedding here a few days ago. The whole function was handled perfectly by the team of staff who were thoroughly professional. The ceremony room and main function room were lovely. Highly recommend this venue for weddings.

Wonderful staff that made our day extra special. They pay attention to detail and are very on board for the whole day and night. Extra touches like caring for and bringing out the gifts for key guests and making sure the bride and groom were well attended made for a perfect experience. They certainly went over and above for us and are well versed in making sure weddings run smoothly. We returned a few weeks later for lunch just to be in that lovely space around kind and attentive staff.

Greens are playing really nicely at the minute, enjoyable round of golf!

Great place. 9 hole is great and relaxed for beginners, plus good value. I got my first hole in one here. Bar is good for a beer afterwards

Rating: 5 / 5

Amazing greens and bunkers for both courses. Really good putting green has difficult holes to play on. Driving range really helps you with your swing but only thing I say is have more targets and have a tracker so people know how how they hit it. Serve good food. I got my first par and birdie here.

Played the 9 hole and can recommend for those who don’t want a long course. Given the recent weather the greens are in good condition, and all for £10.50 (senior)

Played the 9 hole today. Course was in fairly good condition considering the recent wet weather. Staff in the pro shop were friendly but we were disappointed the bar was closed at 1.00. Played the round but the toilets were closed on our return to the car park. Also couldn't find facility to clean our shoes or trolleys. However we will definitely not let this put us off playing again. Beautiful scenery too.

By far my favourite course. 4 rounds so far and can't wait to go back. Hole 4 is just awesome! Beware golfers, playing surfaces are hard, be careful on approach or you will bounce out and beyond!

Rating: 4 / 5

Given the conditions thought we would try the Nine hole short course. As was expected there were muddy places but generally the fairways were pretty good given that they can't be cut. The great surprise was the greens which had been cut and rolled leaving them very puttable. As always the bar and cafe were available for the post round chat.

Yet to play the course but a frequent visitor to the driving range and pro shop. The range is excellent (although please Install power tees!) and the pro shop is fantastically well stocked and staffed by a great bunch of guys that are personable, knowledgable and skilled in regripping clubs with snappy turnaround. Management are approachable and on hand. The range serves soft drinks and alcoholic beverages plus there are desks at every driving bay and access to wi-fi. The range has superb, brightly coloured targets to aim for and operates Top Tracer technology. As a member of a neighbouring course without a working range, I am a HUGE advocate of Chelsfield Lakes.

Absolutely stunning course. (18 hole - The lakes). Every hole was kept well, and the greens ran nicely. The bunkers were wet, but that's not unusual, considering it's late October. The driving range has lots of bays with ball tracker and the prices aren't too bad, £3.50 for 25 balls, £6.00 for 50. (These prices are due to change on the 1st Nov 2023). Big shop with plenty of stock for all you golfing needs. The clubhouse has a good sized bar and sitting area and also a function room with seperate bar. There is also a 9 hole course called The Vista. Didn't play this one so can't comment but if it's anything like the 18 hole course I'm sure it won't disappoint.

We had our 40th wedding anniversary celebration yesterday. Cannot speak highly enough of Chelsfield Lakes if you need a venue. Excellent 3 course lunch for c. 40 people. The staff were superb, efficient, polite and very professional, all overseen by Scott. He could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The meal itself was superb. Tasty, hot, plenty of it and beautifully presented. This included children’s and vegetarian meals. Room size was perfect, and we were able to add our own personal touches. Overall very reasonably priced as well. Cannot recommend highly enough, you will not be disappointed.

Pleasant little society day, a very nice bacon roll and coffee to start the day and ham egg and chips with a pint when we got back. The weather was really nice, sunny with very little breeze. The course was in a very good condition, greens, fairways and rough. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Most enjoyable.

Rating: 4 / 5

Lovely scenic golf course with forgiving fairways, interesting holes and friendly staff. Considering it only reopened 9 weeks ago the greens keeping team have done a fantastic job getting the course back into shape. Greens and fairways are in very good condition for a pay-and-play. Great work.

Went to play the Valley Course on Saturday and saw the Castle Course was available so played it. This course is simply stunning. None of the holes are 'boring' and the vistas going out are jaw dropping. The greens are in really good shape and the front and back nines are like two different courses. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and very friendly staff at the Pro Shop.

Really enjoyable day. Course in very good condition. All in shop very helpfull. Played on county card so exceptional value for money. Recommend 100%.

Rating: 4 / 5

The course and greens were in excellent condition but felt design was very boring with no stand out holes and after a while felt very up and down with limited variations. Pro was very friendly and there was no issues with pace of play.

Played there last Tuesday on a society day and was very impressed. The course is very interesting and in great condition. We were warmly welcomed and the staff and food were excellent! Look forward to returning 😊

Held a Society day here yesterday. What a warm welcome. Fantastic staff and so helpful. Loved that the Chef came out to specifically check what we needed and when and the welcome notice to our group on the coffee table.. Beautiful course and in great condition. Brilliant communication with Mike regarding our ever changing booking and very accommodating. Just an all round wonderful venue. Thanks for a great day.

Had the pleasure of photographing a 21st birthday here. A very stylish venue, with welcoming and attentive bar staff. Amazing and tasty food! I hope to photograph here again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Outstanding & challenging course - you have to be accurate and a competent low/mid-handicapper to play well around here. Fairways are tight with lots of trees. Greens were immaculate, however some of the hardest I've played recently. I can see why it's the flagship course from Get Golfing - great job guys!

Rating: 5 / 5

Held our daughters 21st here. It was a fantastic night. All the staff were fabulous, from the girls organising, the security and all the front of house guys. They couldn’t be more helpful. The bar was really busy and H, Darren and the staff coped brilliantly. We have had so many comments that is was a brilliant party. Would definitely recommend holding a party here.

Very water logged at the present due to the wettest February on record

The BEST municipal course by a mile! We've played a lot of local public & private courses but once you're off the first tee you could be anywhere! At times you feel like you're on a private course playing for birdie or par.
