Brilliant, one of the best links courses. A good challenge but fair at the same time. Unbelievable history and stunning course architecture. Super friendly and helpful staff…🤩👏⛳️🏆

As a visitor I played here today in typical winter costal weather. Sleet and heavy rain on the front nine and sunshine with blue sky's on the return. Inspite of the weather my welcome was warm and friendly. The course is exellent. A great challenge for any golfer and if you are prone to a few stray drives then winter is the time to play here as the rough is short and forgiving. The tee boxes are immaculate, flat and no bare patches (I have played on worse greens). The fairways are lush and riddled with immaculate revetted bunkers. (See photos) The pro shop is exceptionally well stocked for its size with everything from clubs to waterproofs and embroidered sweaters. In twems of facilities there is a couple of practice nets for warming up and a 250 yard open air driving range played from the grass. The club house is traditional with wood clad halls and high ceelings but modern facilities in terms of bathrooms and showers etc. Lots of history here both on the walls and in the membership but friendly not snooty. I would highly recommend a visit. Just be sure to call 1st as booking availability varies depending on the day of the week and time of year.

Magnificent day of golf. I would put this up against any of the courses in the area. It is stunning, with many of the holes set along the water. This is a must play if you are in the area!

Great course and made for an amazing time with the lads. Tough but fair course with bunkers plotted throughout making you think about each shot. Course in incredible shape and staff very friendly.

Fantastic golf course, amazing condition the course really is amazing. Definitely a players course. Long drives won't get you very far. You need to plot your way around and place the ball for the second more important shot. Lots of doglegs, course management is a must. Greens are fast and slopey. Really well worth the trip to test your game, some holes are forgiving of the tee but equally some are punishing. Some beautiful scenery to be seen and fantastic wildlife. Played in a work society which I won ;) can't wait to get back in the summer. Staff are extremely friendly and professional. Range isn't the best but overall it's really nice golf course. Definitely returning.

Great course in great condition, be careful of the slopes on the greens. Generous fairways with plenty of doglegs. Well stocked pro shop for all those impulse buys to remember the day

Called the day before and got a tee time the next day at 10am on a Thursday. Quite hilly so took a buggy - would be good to invest in some tech with GPS screens in the buggies or at least a course map but no big deal. Fairways were really well maintained, Greens varied in terms of speed quite significantly but again all well maintained. One of the nicest courses I've played in a long time.

A beautiful looking course Fairways not much run as still being protected because of awful weather Happily we we were spared that Greens tricky as ever But for a 24 handicap highlight was a gross par on SI1 Well worth a visit

Fabulous course with friendly people who play there. Can highly recommend Olly Francis too for his warm and friendly approach and oodles of patience with beginners.

Rating: 5 / 5

No complaints. Played both courses and for my level of skill the grounds were just right. I would love to see some hole maps on the score cards.

Rating: 5 / 5

Lovely place. 3 courses to choose from, a driving range and putting greens to practice on. The pro shop is nicely stocked as is the 19th. Great facilities. The academy course is perfect for beginers

12 of us played in the Martha Trust charity fundraiser on a very blowy spring day. The clubhouse staff were cheery and welcoming, the course was in brilliant condition, with a great half way house, if I lived closer I'd definitely join. Played again 2023, The course is still fantastic and the greens are like lightening! Brilliant.

Rating: 4 / 5

Great fun. Greens are a good pace and true. Just a bit woolly later in the day. Good value for money. Fantastic views of the Dover straits on the front nine. We were lucky with the weather. Sunny conditions with a moderate wind making it a little more interesting. The half way house is very good and well stocked, plus being open as we came through around 1630hrs. Only had a beer in the clubhouse.However, the menu looked good. Overall, we loved the whole place and look forward to our return.

Been a few times now, not to play but for the food and to have a drink. The roast dinner is very good value for money and can't complain about the bat prices either. Had excellent service from izabella. Well done and will be back. You don't have to be a member to enjoy the club house

Rating: 5 / 5

Absolutely superb. Good quality course which is a real thinking test for a golfer. It's cliff top, built on chalk so drains excellently. Notwithstanding, it plays like a links course requiring challenging approach play and careful putting. Good clubhouse and well stocked pro shop too. Couldn't thinks of anything better... Its more fun than Prince's Golf Club just up the coast to be honest. Well recommended.

Rating: 4 / 5

An undulating and challenging but well looked after parkland/heathland golf course. Although I find it bizarre that the red tees are often placed the same as or even a bit farther than the yellow ones. Accommodating pro shop staff and friendly golf course members too. Enjoyable round!

Excellent I had the pleasure of playing at Faversham Golf Club a few months ago, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The course was in fantastic condition, offering a great challenge while still being enjoyable for players of all levels. The layout is both picturesque and well-maintained, showcasing the beauty of the area.

Rating: 4 / 5

Society day at Faversham golf club, plenty of parking and nicely laid out. Nice putting and chipping areas. Couple nets to warm up your swing. Decent coffee and bacon bap on arrival. Tees are decent. Most fairways are tree lined. With some pretty holes. Course is cut through a valley, so you get a few uneven lies. Greens were fast and challenging. On completion, we had burger and chips served hot and fresh. Decent beer. All in all, a good days golf.

My Family played a 4 ball this afternoon after winning it in a charity raffle. Course was in great condition. Greens were true and firm. We got round easily in under 4 hours, even after hunting for a few balls. Pro shop staff were very friendly. No food available mid afternoon after the round (it was a Wednesday). Half way house had sausage rolls, chocolate and ice creams. All in all, very pleasant.

Rating: 4 / 5

Excellent golf course, greens superb, the back nine very different from the front nine, and trust me on a hot day you'll understand why they call the 17th the heart attack hole! Fantastic views of St Mary's Bay and Dungeness, staff friendly and efficient, breakfast was above average. If you are senior or have mobility issues would highly recommend booking a buggy. Didn't have any issues with waiting at tee's. The only down side was that the compressor had packed up on the 9th hole bar but soft drinks were still available.

Beautiful course, I’m not a golfer myself but I’ve now held two charity golf days here and from an organisation view I could not fault it, Jo and Donna were superb and a huge help.

We live on Cliff Road. During the lockdowns in the Pandemic we were so lucky to be walking with our kids at this beautiful golf course. We've practiced here before but the opportunity to walk here when people don't play is just amazing 👍👍👍

We received a warm welcome at Chestfield Golf Club. The clubhouse is steeped in history and is a beautiful building. The bacon sandwiches were great and set us up for a challenging and undulating course. There's also a great halfway house. Good value, and a nice golf club and course.

Rating: 4 / 5

I really enjoyed this course, was very challenging and the greens are probably the hardest I’ve played. Staff at the club were very friendly, this includes the groundskeepers and they clearly do a very good job maintaining the greens and tee areas. The only thing stopping this being a 5start review for me is the restaurant opens on an as and when basis, Which I found odd (so no breakfast before tee off) tho there is a halfway house on the 13th and you can place an order when you get to the 11th hole, which is good. The Range was okay, only three bays and the range balls were poor quality (yes I know they are just range balls but these looked from the 80s). Definitely ask for a map as you will get lost. I will definitely be returning and can’t wait.

Nice course. The main building doesn't open till 10am for drinks etc. the pro shop is open though. Nice seating inside and out.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great welcome from the staff, great service in the club house and pro shop too, especially for a large group of 25. The members were welcoming and the course is a gem. Despite the rain over the last few days it was in great condition and the test were rolling pure and fast.....slower than normal though as we were told. Looking forward to going back when it's dried out.

A prestigious links course and one of the 100 best in England. The course is unobstructed, spacious and pleasant. We played Dunes and Himalayas, both after heavy rain, but the grounds were not too badly damaged (although there were puddles in places). They were well maintained and the greens were fast. It was very challenging, but I would like to stay and play in the summer next time🥰 At the end, you enter a toll road, but you can go straight through on the way there. If you see a staff on the way back, just declare that you played golf at Prince's and you can pass through for free.

I have been to this golf club many times and it has never failed to impress. The pro shop and bookings team have always been very helpful. The 3 courses are pure, greens roll fast and a lovely setting. Rounds in the wind are awesome but can be very challenging. So sometimes very difficult for a chopper like myself. I always have the best time going to Princes and am excited to return. A must play golf course.

Great 27 hole golf course & Hotel. Group of 12 of us spent 2 days / 1 night here (Sunday/Monday).Friendly helpful staff, Food was excellent / rooms clean & comfortable. Also little things make it ...Ie:- free bucket of balls to practise each day & free course guide. Good selection of beers & wines. Taking all of above excellent value for money.

Stunning place to play golf. Course was in very good condition for the final day of October. As it’s links it drains incredibly well. Played on consecutive days, the first had benign conditions and glorious sun, the second was true links golf with very strong winds. Some very challenging holes but well worth a visit. We did 2×18 holes, breakfast dinner and one night accommodation for just over £200. Brilliant value

Absolutely phenomenal experience!! Amazing course and Andy was an excellent caddy telling me all the best places to hit it and cheered me up after bad shots. I wish I could play here every day!!

Had the most amazing experience! The course was incredible

Rating: 5 / 5

Amazing golf course, we went to see Day 3 of The Open. Great experience watching pro golf for the first time for me, and the whole set-up was great, with friendly, helpful staff from the car park to the marshalls on the course. Royal St George's is in a beautiful part of the country, and it was a pleasure to spend a day here. If i was going to try to be picky, the queues for food and drink were very long, but that was to be expected really. A wonderful experience of sport at the highest level, and a day I wont forget in a hurry!

You can’t beat it! Wonderful place to visit and play. Thank you

Played recently due to our own course being closed. All members Of staff were very helpful. Course was in fair condition given the winter weather. Greens had received some dressing recently. A lot of work has been done to improve the playability of the course. Always a pleasure to play there.

Another cracking day on the Links at Westgate and Birchy. As 4 visitors, the staff and members couldn’t have made us feel more welcome! Mark in the pro-shop is an absolute asset to the club and we will be returning soon! PS Mark, cheers for the tip off with Janet Gigs, Margate is proper booting off 🍻

Fantastic golf course, fairways, greens and bunkers are perfect. It’s a short course but very good value for money.

Rating: 5 / 5

We had a society day there, it was a lovely winters day, the breakfast was great, the chef very accommodating and staff were lovely. The course was in tip top condition with fast smooth greens and the fairways weren't boggy or muddy like some of the East Kent courses currently are. A brilliant high scoring day had by all including a hole in 1 from one of our members!
