The Best Golf Courses in Buckland, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

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.

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.

Played here at the end of November. Course in excellent conditions. A scenic course l. A true test of golf. Good food and drinks too.

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.

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.

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.

Great course, some very challenging holes and some really great little par 3s. The 16th is a particular highlight. Really well maintained. It was a bit wet and windy when I was there so the sand traps were quite firm (luckily for me) and the greens a little soft. But that is not the green keeper fault. Looking forward to going back on a sunnier day. Had a pint and a sandwich in the clubhouse after our round. Nice selection of beers and sandwiches. All the staff, from the chap in the pro shop, to the greens staff, and the bar staff were friendly and helpful. Really nice place all round.

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 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

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!

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!!

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!

Had the most amazing experience! The course was incredible

Unbelievable golfing experience and rightly holds its place as best in the country. The course also in fantastic condition for December. Playing here is a real treat, each hole is special and the scenery is stunning. Worth playing twice as you will need to enjoy this incredible course for all that it had to offer.

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.

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.

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

Great and maturing course. Top tracer range is fun for kids and adults.

Lovely course that’s challenging but forgiving too. Can get windy due to being by the coast but just adds another dimension. Great clubhouse too with good food and friendly staff and Jake is a brilliant pro. Very welcoming family feel. Good range tracker too that’s been done up recently so club always spending money and improving the course and facilities

Course was in fantastic condition. Greens were fast! Lovely scenery on every hole. A real challenge. Always love a round here

Played the course for the first time yesterday. The course was in wonderful condition with some difficult pin positions. Really enjoyed the course, and would certainly recommend it. I will certainly will be back again. Staff in Pro's shop were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good value for money, and again the staff there were again friendly and helpful 👍

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…🤩👏⛳️🏆

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

A really welcoming place, come a few times a week and you’ll quickly become friends with the regulars. Full of really great people and a fun activity

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

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.

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.
