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

Loving the new tech, really helps with productive practice , sanitizing wipes available & masks required moving about ,(not for hitting your shots ) so all good

We are new at the GOLF Academy and it was a pleasure having such a warm welcoming to all our family. Thank you, our daughter is looking forward to continue her Golf training with you!

Mark is an excellent coach with easy to understand advice and drills to help become a better golfer. I've learned a huge amount after just 6 lessons. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner! Highly recommended.

Friendly staff. Enjoyed the screens showing distance direction and loft. Downloaded app after my practice but looking forward to going again to get even better experience.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Played today in 30+ degree heat and really enjoyed myself. 2nd time I've played the course and love the layout. The only issue I have is that the spaces in the car park are way too small, meaning A LOT of people park over the line or just take up 2 spaces deliberately because your physically can't get in and out of your car.

Great course and friendly club house. The new driving range is excellent and open to the public. Green fees for a visitor is £45 to £95 so a little steep, fore at least.

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

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!

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

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

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

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👍

Really good session with Mark and learnt how to adjust my swing and hit some straight shots! Really fun and informative session. Thanks.

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.

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.

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

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

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🥰

Lovely 9 hole course in good condition, pretty, tight and testing. My advice, best rounds have been when driver stays in the bag. Good facilities with driving range, putting green, nets and short game practice area.

Lovely course, I came here to play as a one off a few weeks ago and joined a day later. Really friendly & welcoming members, great food and the course is immaculately maintained. A lot of challenging but very fun holes, the 4th in particular is a stunner. Best course I've played in ages and certainly the best 9 hole course in the South East. Highly recommended.

The only golf course dry enough to play in the current wet weather. £18 a round week rate. Choice of front 9 or back 9 with shared greens but different tees. Excellent choice of beers in the club bar and even a grandfather clock that is wound and working, telling the correct time. Highly recommended.

Just played 9 holes here. Impressed with the overall condition of the greens being March. It’s a tricky 9 holes that will humble you the 1st time you play it. Good price and friendly staff too.

Nice course that drains well. In a nice setting. If you do 18, there is a bit of variety from first time around the 9. No bunkers but a bit of water. Friendly staff.

Warm day my golf not as hot.

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
