The Best Golf Courses in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

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.

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.

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

A great but tough golf course very positional well maintained with good greens

Fantastic day at the Captains Scramble yesterday. Very well organised, lots of fun and all for a great charity. A big thank you to all of those involved in the organising and also for the lovely food for charity in the spike bar. Great day and great memories.

They say they are one of the best draining courses in Kent. I went the day after a big storm. It was one of the only courses open and the condition was better than any course I have played during the winter months. The greens were a bit too hard but better than most. The fairways had drained nicely and played well. Bunkers did have lying water but that’s to be expected with the amount of rain we had recently. Club house is great, modern and welcoming. Pro shop had the most friendly and informative pro I have meet yet, he was friendly and more than happy to help.

I love this course... Inland Links at its finest. Tees and Greens always immaculate. Tricky on a windy day but can be played by all handicappers. Course improvements happening all the time. Course drainage one of the best in the country in winter. Very dry today on a cold and Novembery day.

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. 😊

I have really enjoyed shooting weddings and events at Westerham Golf Club. The Clubhouse hosts their ceremony room on the first floor, overlooking the rolling fairways and lake, and is a beautiful room offering plenty of natural light for photographs. There is plenty of outside space for group photos, candid documentary photography and couple portraits. The staff are always extremely helpful and professional.

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

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.

Beautiful location, very clean, attention to details. Nice food, friendly staff

Golfers, this is a must play track if you're in the area. Really exquisite holes and extremely well kept. Just a treat. Our group of 12 low single figure golfers all said "would definitely come back again!' Hospitality was good and breakfast was lovely. No faults at all. Thank you Wildernesse!

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

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

Went to a new Captains drive in on Sunday 16th. Really great support for the incoming captain and lovely looking course. All people are welcome to this event see you next April.

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

A really lovely challenging course that I would highly recommend. Though the first tee is really high up! Also the first few holes the road leading to the club house meanders through them, so beware of cars. Apart from that, what a lovely picturesque course with some really good challenges. If you don't like hills, then this isn't for you but it's worth the effort. Course is well kept with only one temporary tee near the end. I'm hoping to go again soon and may try and do a society day there next year. Just a note that the postcode given on their website sends you to some dead end not far from Holtye Golf Club. All four of us made this mistake!

Played a reciprocal round today at Sweetwoods. A fabulous track in great condition. Very different to downland/coastal golf but hugely enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Lovely 18 hole course, good variety of holes, some over little valley, a few with water, elevated tees etc Great driving range with top tracer. Thoroughly enjoyable round with a smart welcoming clubhouse at the end.

The course is currently in very good condition and all the greens are beautifully maintained and in first class playing condition. For weekdays the green fee is £18 for 9 holes with only a further £4 if you want to play 18 holes. This is the same course but with different tees and separate greens. The final icing on the cake is a very personable and friendly lady behind the bar. Played a charity match here last Sunday, 21 September in aid of Hospice in the Weald; over £1,000 raised. Course and greens still first class and excellent keg beer as well!

Great 9 hole course. Very forgiving fairways and a mix of challenges

Very friendly staff and a great place to play.all was in great condition, the wife and I always enjoy our time there

Warm day my golf not as hot.

Course can be tricky. Long carries to some fairways. Lots of undulations and uneven fairways. I only went in one bunker, but it had good, raked sand in it. Beware the water though. Some do have sturdy ball retrievers by then. Not keen on having to walk down a twisting coyntry road to get to and from a couple of the holes though. Coming back about 5 vehicles passed me. Quite hilly in places. There on an away day with meal afterwards. The food was excellent as was the service. As a group of 40 ladies the facilities were a bit on the small side, but I think the same could be said about most clubs and under normal circumstances would be fine.

I played at the Nevill on Thursday 1st June ‘23. First time visit for me, 2nd time for the society I was with. An excellent course in really good condition, the greens did look a bit patchy, but played smooth and slick. Some bunkers were like a sand veneer over concrete though, so best not to go in them! Annoyingly, the half way house closed just as my group got to it and this was around 2pm. I was looking forward to a chilled drink too and couldn’t understand why it would close when the course still had quite a few players out on it. This is why I gave it 4 stars otherwise it would have been 5.

Fantastic course great condition fair with superb greens & excellent coffee to boot

A modern club house and pro shop with very friendly staff set a great first impression. The small, fast greens are difficult to read and I feel are the jewel in this nicely laid out course's crown. The range offers free balls which is quite something these days, albeit the range itself is slightly awkwardly situated, requiring a walk down the first hole to access it. A great little halfway hut with an excellent homemade selection is a must-stop and most players seem to do so, with no impact on the flow of play. Excellent value for money as a member's guest.

was visiting around chart hills and came up spontaneously for a round. pro shop and staff were very friendly and gave me a teetime. the practice area where spotless, and the course is just phenomenal. i was all on my own, waking the beautiful course. love to be back!

Brilliant course in excellent condition. We played mid May on an unusually dry day.

Course in great nick despite it being start of Winter. Friendly service from pro shop and bar. Great track with lots of interesting holes and practice area is ace

Course in fabulous condition at the moment, bunkers great with decent sand in them Greens rolled true made me putt better lol
