As a photographer, I couldn't have asked for a better setting to capture unforgettable moments. The picturesque surroundings, exquisite décor, and warm ambiance provided endless opportunities for breathtaking photos. The rooms were beautifully lit and had natural light shining through. From intimate portraits to candid shots of joyous celebrations, every frame reflected the love and happiness shared by the newlyweds and their guests. I am grateful to The Darenth staff for their professionalism and hospitality, making it a seamless experience to document such a special day.

Wonderful staff that made our day extra special. They pay attention to detail and are very on board for the whole day and night. Extra touches like caring for and bringing out the gifts for key guests and making sure the bride and groom were well attended made for a perfect experience. They certainly went over and above for us and are well versed in making sure weddings run smoothly. We returned a few weeks later for lunch just to be in that lovely space around kind and attentive staff.

What an amazing place for a wedding. It was beautifully decorated. Staff were amazing, nothing was to much trouble. A massive thank you to Jason, Sarah, Kirsty and the team for making my daughters day so special for her and her husband. I would 1000% recommend this venue to any new couples about to tie the knot. Thank you from the MoB x

Attended a family wedding here a few days ago. The whole function was handled perfectly by the team of staff who were thoroughly professional. The ceremony room and main function room were lovely. Highly recommend this venue for weddings.

Lovely scenic golf course with forgiving fairways, interesting holes and friendly staff. Considering it only reopened 9 weeks ago the greens keeping team have done a fantastic job getting the course back into shape. Greens and fairways are in very good condition for a pay-and-play. Great work.

Sat Nav didn't like the Google address, so found it hard to find the golf club premises. Eventually just went by the road name and found it. Nice easy parking and access to club house, staff very friendly and helpful, course is very wide, lovely scenic course, greens need some tlc and the 18 hole Tee box is the worst I've seen in a long time, other than that course plays really well, will definitely play again.

Love this course. USGA standard tees and greens. Drains really well. Second only to Kings Hill in the area in my opinion. Great range as well all with Top Tracer technology. Nice bar area with Sky Sports. Reasonable cost for round of golf on weekend. Better in the week.

Very nice golf course. Well maintained and receptive greens. Open layout of holes and friendly banks either side of the fairways, didn't lose a ball all round.

Had our wedding reception here 8th June 2024, the DJ was amazing and Adam and Leigh were very friendly and gave us the best experience, however we did not enjoy the main course and the meat was a little dry and bland, the scenery around the golf course was amazing, Adam even let us drive the golf cart to the lake area so our photographer can take some photos of us 2 we couldn’t of asked for more and the whole day and night was amazing, would highly recommend having a wedding reception here!

We played today on a lovely sunny day! The course is in great condition with numerous out of sight greens - causing some confusion for first timers. Conditions were very dry - no mud or water anywhere except for the lake on 18th. I would suggest some more on course signage as we spent 5 mins looking for 18th tee!!! We will be back. Another round a few years later - some of the complexity comes back to you… a great day!

Played the 9 hole today. Course was in fairly good condition considering the recent wet weather. Staff in the pro shop were friendly but we were disappointed the bar was closed at 1.00. Played the round but the toilets were closed on our return to the car park. Also couldn't find facility to clean our shoes or trolleys. However we will definitely not let this put us off playing again. Beautiful scenery too.

Very wide, undulating fairway. Well maintained greens. Need to always watch out for strollers popping out from nowhere. Great atmosphere and nice staff

By far my favourite course. 4 rounds so far and can't wait to go back. Hole 4 is just awesome! Beware golfers, playing surfaces are hard, be careful on approach or you will bounce out and beyond!

Really beautiful course with fantastic practice facilities and lovely club house. The par 4 13th is stunning, apparently inspired by Augusta and it shows. Really lovely welcome by the starter who was enthusiastic to tell us about the course and it’s history.

We attended a wedding reception. The venue was lovely and the food delicious. The service was very good. I'm a blur badge holder and my only criticism would be that there seemed limited disabled parking for the numbers that were attending.

Great course. Stunning conditions and set up. Has a good range of holes, some tricky and others a bit more simple. Definitely worth another visit. Value for money is also very good with a quality driving range.

Lovely golf course, first time me and my son went down today 8/9. We only did the driving range just to get the feel of the club to see if my son like it and he did. Went to pro shop and the young lad in there very polite and told me there the driving range was. Will be back to play a round when the weather isn't so wet

Played there last Tuesday on a society day and was very impressed. The course is very interesting and in great condition. We were warmly welcomed and the staff and food were excellent! Look forward to returning 😊

Nice club. Membership requirements you to pay a sign up fee . Which I believe is excessive. The staff keeps it looking nice. Loads of temporary greens and tees in the winter (Like most clubs). staff are nice. Some of the members are not. Hence the 4

Had a joint 50th here last weekend. The venue was perfect, the staff were amazing and so very helpful and friendly. We couldn't have asked for the proceedings to go any more smoothly. Thank you to all involved

The course is in fantastic condition. Love the fact that you don't have to book a tee time. After a round of golf, excellent Clubhouse facilities and friendly service. Glad I was accepted for membership this year.

Had the pleasure of photographing a 21st birthday here. A very stylish venue, with welcoming and attentive bar staff. Amazing and tasty food! I hope to photograph here again.

Came here on Friday the 22nd. Course was in excellent condition despite the freezing temperatures, the front 9 greens were frozen but back 9 was fine. The Fairways were in great condition and ground staff were doing their best to keep leaves tidied up. Food and drink in the players lounge was also welcoming and tasty.

Held our daughters 21st here. It was a fantastic night. All the staff were fabulous, from the girls organising, the security and all the front of house guys. They couldn’t be more helpful. The bar was really busy and H, Darren and the staff coped brilliantly. We have had so many comments that is was a brilliant party. Would definitely recommend holding a party here.

Outstanding & challenging course - you have to be accurate and a competent low/mid-handicapper to play well around here. Fairways are tight with lots of trees. Greens were immaculate, however some of the hardest I've played recently. I can see why it's the flagship course from Get Golfing - great job guys!

Great golf course, well maintained with marshalls to ensure no slow play. Greens well kept and true, fairways nicely tended and some tricky challenges which all contributr to a great days golf

Pleasant little society day, a very nice bacon roll and coffee to start the day and ham egg and chips with a pint when we got back. The weather was really nice, sunny with very little breeze. The course was in a very good condition, greens, fairways and rough. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Most enjoyable.

Absolutely stunning course. (18 hole - The lakes). Every hole was kept well, and the greens ran nicely. The bunkers were wet, but that's not unusual, considering it's late October. The driving range has lots of bays with ball tracker and the prices aren't too bad, £3.50 for 25 balls, £6.00 for 50. (These prices are due to change on the 1st Nov 2023). Big shop with plenty of stock for all you golfing needs. The clubhouse has a good sized bar and sitting area and also a function room with seperate bar. There is also a 9 hole course called The Vista. Didn't play this one so can't comment but if it's anything like the 18 hole course I'm sure it won't disappoint.

We had our 40th wedding anniversary celebration yesterday. Cannot speak highly enough of Chelsfield Lakes if you need a venue. Excellent 3 course lunch for c. 40 people. The staff were superb, efficient, polite and very professional, all overseen by Scott. He could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The meal itself was superb. Tasty, hot, plenty of it and beautifully presented. This included children’s and vegetarian meals. Room size was perfect, and we were able to add our own personal touches. Overall very reasonably priced as well. Cannot recommend highly enough, you will not be disappointed.

Yet to play the course but a frequent visitor to the driving range and pro shop. The range is excellent (although please Install power tees!) and the pro shop is fantastically well stocked and staffed by a great bunch of guys that are personable, knowledgable and skilled in regripping clubs with snappy turnaround. Management are approachable and on hand. The range serves soft drinks and alcoholic beverages plus there are desks at every driving bay and access to wi-fi. The range has superb, brightly coloured targets to aim for and operates Top Tracer technology. As a member of a neighbouring course without a working range, I am a HUGE advocate of Chelsfield Lakes.
