Cracking golf course in excellent condition especially for the time of year.... Everything about chart Hills is great from the service you recieve as soon as you arrive to the practice facilities and the tough golf course! We also stayed in the newly created barn accommodation which is excellent. Really nice sized rooms with a communal area to sit have a chat and a few after round beers... Would highly recommend a stay at chart Hills. Oh and an excellent breakfast is thrown in for your stay.

My first trip to Wildernesse and a truly memorable one. A quite beautiful and challenging parkland course with superb greens and clever bunkering. The green staff do a first rate job in presentation. The clubhouse and facilities are first rate and the staff are both friendly and efficient.

Helpful, friendly staff. Great pro-shop and the course was excellent and very well maintained. Modern and clean changing rooms. I can also highly recommend the lunch I had there. Expensive, but well worth the outlay. Improvements? Not really, except I would have liked to have seen a map detailing the holes on the score card.

Lovely tree lined golf course. Very challenging but a delight to play.

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.

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.

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.

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 👍👍👍

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

There are moderate ups and downs and some challenging holes with bunkers and lakes, but the overall outlook is good and the ground was in very good condition despite the rain the day before. Beautiful scenery and a pleasant place to play golf. I would like to come back again🥰

Beautifully prepared course, not too punishing for the higher handicap golfer. 😊

Rating: 5 / 5

Really decent golf course and great price after 3 pm for visitors. It’s been a while since I saw water hazards at a English golf course. Greens are soft and well maintained. Can be hilly in some parts so a buggy is recommended (£25) as it can get busy even on a Tuesday afternoon!! Friendly bar service at the end

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

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.

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'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!

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.

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.

Private golf club.allows societies. I believe you need a member to be playing I think. Nicely situated in a park land setting. Actually saw some deer. Well set up. Reasonably priced food and drink. Well set up. Quite easy to get to from A2 London bound and coast bound. Greens are challenging. Food service is of good quality. Takes card or cash. Only serve food to guest players or to members. Greens in great condition.

A short but very well maintaied golf course, some holes are quite tight with tree lined fairways and overall a fair test of golf. Rained when i played so would like to go back when the suns shining

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

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.

Great course in good condition with slick greens. There has been a lot of work to improve the club over the last 3 or 4 years and it is ongoing. Friendly staff from pro shop to greenkeepers and bar. It is also a friendly member's club. Worth a visit - you might want to join

Cherry Lodge has the best greens I’ve played on this year, the golf course is improving year on year which is down to all the hard work the green staffs puts in

Rating: 5 / 5

Great venue, nice course layout, We had society day and was extremely happy with food, hospitality, the course was fun, tricky the was fast but receptive, tricky slopes made it fun, only small gripe would be the bunkers, some had very little sand making them very tough to escape, but overall was great value for money and would visit again👍

Played here in October on Surrey National club captains away day …the course was very interesting with some wonderfully unique holes. Greens were in great condition. Everyone we encountered from green staff to bar staff were friendly and obviously very proud of their club ….special mention to Amy behind the bar who was very friendly and helpful
