Lovely golf course. We were there as guests and are not golfers but our friend is a member and plays several times a week. Members bar very comfortable and friendly and did great lunches.

Lovely and friendly staff and other golfers. We did the 18 hole parr 3 Course. As it was Mother’s Day we didn’t go into the bar area. The shop is nice and a variety of both men + women’s clothing.

This is undoubtedly one of the "must play" courses in East Kent. Course is in great condition, greens smooth fast and true. Clubhouse and pro shop staff are all helpful, friendly and efficient. Look forward to playing it again.

The staff are friendly and informative, making you feel welcome and appreciated. From booking the tee time on the phone to the moment we left we everyone was so friendly. The course is the highlight, it’s a stunning short-ish course. With some beautiful views as you make your way around. There is little fort on the picturesque par 3 on hole 5. It seems easy at first with the front 7 holes lulling you into a sense of greatness. Then the course changes and shows you its true colours. With ever greater difficulty not just in yardage but also with the bunkers guarding the greens and hole placement. Talking about bunkers they were all in great condition, with light fluffy sand and extremely well place to catch the average drive. Underneath is chalk which makes for a lovely playing surface. The greens are a tad slow, but tricky with excellently placed holes. Each one has its own character and challenges, many of which are vividly memorable or maybe haunting 😅. Great day. Can’t wait to come back.

Prince's Golf Club

Rating: 4.6 (451) Price Level:
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.

Overnight stay with 2 rounds of golf. Course fantastic accommodation excellent. Food top notch.
Rating: 5 / 5
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

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.

Rating: 4.6 (134) Price Level:
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.
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.

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.

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

Great golf course and hidden gem in Kent. The club pro Warren is very friendly and knowledgeable (check out his YouTube videos). Very well kept course, you can always tell by the quality of the tee boxes and they are pristine here. Fairways are great, greens are very good, fast and with undulations. Good variety of holes. Highly recommend this course.

Simply the best crazy golf course we've played for years. Really well designed, maintained and run. Only lost to my 10 year old son on the 18th hole which is a leveller and pretty much based on luck. Will be back for revenge. The moving bridges are genius and add an element of jeopardy. Plays fast and loose with the historical themes but all this adds to the fun.

Great family day out , we did the crazy golf excellent fun. And then the mini cars the kids loved it ! Will go again!
Rating: 4 / 5
A couple of months ago I found this place, but the weather was terrible that day so couldn't play. But today the weather was better, and I managed to play it. It' is a 18 hole ⛳ course.with some very tricky holes to play and a couple of slightly easier ones. It's the first one I have been to where you have to pull yourself on raft over a a lake to get to play the next hole. I will definitely go back and play it again. You can also get food and drink there as well as an ice cream for your dog . Well worth a visit

Fantastic day out, my son absolutely loved it, car track was great and cars, perfect speed. Adventure golf was great also, every hole was different and interesting, will definitely be returning, can't recommend highly enough!!
Rating: 5 / 5
Fantastic value for money! Myself and 3 friends played the course yesterday and I have to say we were amazed. Working out at £7.50 each to play 18 holes on a brand new course - we were shocked! The course is challenging and every hole is enjoyable, none of the course looks rushed/badly designed - there is plenty of room for prams/push chairs with a path running beside every hole. I have uploaded a few photos with this review, but I don't want to spoil it for others before arriving! Will definitely return 👍🏽

My sister booked a session on Wednesday 16 October 2024 at 13:50 for me and my 7 year old autistic nephew to play crazy golf. On arrival the young lad who was working at the kiosk noticed that my nephew had ear defenders on and asked if we would like the sound effects turned off to which we obliged. Going on to the 7th hole my nephew became very scared of the dinosaur statues and had a bad episode, we had to leave. On leaving the young lad handed my nephew a fruit pastilles ice lolly which immediately calmed him down. I am writing to you so that this young legend of a lad be acknowledged by his peers as a great professional and to be honest, you do not see young people these days with the empathy and compassion that he showed us on that day.

I've been going to Manston for just over a year for practice, lessons and recently a fitting session for a new set of irons. It's a great place to visit for all levels of golfer, the staff are really great and my game has definitely improved. I'd highly recommend it

I've been having lessons with Adam for around 9 months now and it has really instilled confidence in my game. Adam takes his time and makes you feel comfortable detailing every bit of your swing, grip, stance and explains everything in great detail. It cemented in my mind that I wanted to get fitted for new clubs to improve my game and I did exactly that - again with Adam. He knew my swing and style already so he was able to recommend clubs/brands that would be better suited to me than others. It was a great session and I am very pleased with the results. Can't wait to get out and use them! Thanks for all of your time Adam!

I arrived at Manston without having made a booking for a fitting. Ben was able to fit me in and helped me select the right clubs for me having tested 3 different manufacturers. Would recommend Manston as they have a wide selection of options without waiting for a demo day. Thank you

Had a fitting with Keely from Manston golf Centre, very professional and I was confident that the clubs I purchased were the correct ones for me. There was no pushy sales tactics just someone that wanted you to feel happy you was choosing the clubs suitable for me. Thank you from a Happy customer and I would definitely recommend going to Manston to get a fitting

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
Rating: 4 / 5
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

Various courses. Alot of work going on with the par 3, which has limited this one for a few years. Clubhouse is nice and food not too badly priced. I visited again today and uprated my opinion, since I had a lunch of burger and chips, which was excellent value and very tasty. The par 3 is still undergoing work.

I’ve been having golf lessons with James Prophet for some time now and have really appreciated his direction and wisdom with my swing. Without his guidance I would be lost in my ability progression, definitely recommend.

I found out about Stonelees simply from browsing courses on Google maps. I've had a long absense from golf and was looking for the right place to visit and gently get back into the game. Having read the reviews and looking at the features via their website I decided on Stoneless and I'm so glad I did. The practice facilities are excellent, especially the putting green. Green fees are incredibly fair! With 3 levels of courses to choose from, there is something for everyone. I tried the 5 hole par 3 course first and that's a very easy course for practicing short game and it was nice to play a few times before moving onto the next levels. The Executive is an excellent mostly par 3 course which is quite a challange, with some water and slopes on many holes and smaller greens. I tried the Heights course for the first time today and was very very impressed. The greens were fantastic. Some holes are very challenging due to some long and narrow fairways, but that's what makes the course so good. My first 4 holes went very well and then a little downhill after, but not having played for close to 15 years, I guess it'll take a little more time to get my game back. I also have to mention another reason why I really like Stonelees... it's very laid back and not a bit of snobbery to be seen. The snobby nature of many golf clubs is what turns me away. But Stonelees is very welcoming, which is why I travel over 40 miles each time I visit. It's now my regular club. Only thing left to try is the food, which I hear is fantastic. So thank you very much to Stonelees for helping me get back into golf and, most importantly, enjoying golf again.

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.

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…🤩👏⛳️🏆
Rating: 5 / 5
Typical links, you review it on paper and think you'll take it apart and then you turn up and get a understanding of what the wind is doing and you start to worry whether you will make a modest score at best! Its such a great course. We played it as part of a comp held by a well know club manufacture which made the day even more fun. The course was in fantastic condition. Its is approached via a funny little country lane and you start to wonder if you've taken a wrong turn until it appears in all its glory. The club house has a real sense of old school history which adds to its appeal. A must for anyone venturing to the Kent coast as often over looked for some travelling to play some of the neighboring favorites.

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.

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: 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.

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
Beautiful location on top of the white cliffs with amazing views, both out to sea and over the rolling countryside… and a very friendly club, both members and staff. It’s actually a very stern test of golf with quite a few blind shots, long up-hillers and some very tricky sloping fairways (one drive I aimed and hit at the very right of the fairway rolled down the slope about 150 yards and ended up down the bottom on the left)… you have to play the contours on a lot of holes. The course also has some unique man-made bumps and ridges placed at strategic points on several holes and one massive hillock aside one of the greens, known locally as the doughnut. I played the course, twice, in clement summer weather… I expect it would be even more of a challenge with the wind whipping in off the sea. All in all a fabulous golfing experience!
