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.

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 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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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'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 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

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.

Fantastic venue with plenty to do. Golf range and 3 courses. Food is fresh and tasty with an extensive menu. Fully stocked bar with friendly attentive staff. Loads of wildlife on site ranging from ducks, geese, crows and so forth. Buggies, trollies and clubs are all available to hire and all golfers are welcome regardless of ability.

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.
Rating: 4 / 5
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.

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 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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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!

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…🤩👏⛳️🏆

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.

Very welcoming and friendly reception from the pro shop. The course is very well maintained and in a good condition. Challenging hilly slopes and sometimes requiring a blind shot. It has the best view for a golf course in Kent! My local favourite course.

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 👍👍👍

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

We visited during March of 2024 - which has felt like the wettest March EVER! But the course was playable, albeit with a couple of holes due to waterlogging and we enjoyed it. The clubhouse was buzzing and the all day breakfasts were very, very good

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 👍

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!
