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!

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.

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.

We had a society day there, it was a lovely winters day, the breakfast was great, the chef very accommodating and staff were lovely. The course was in tip top condition with fast smooth greens and the fairways weren't boggy or muddy like some of the East Kent courses currently are. A brilliant high scoring day had by all including a hole in 1 from one of our members!

Another cracking day on the Links at Westgate and Birchy. As 4 visitors, the staff and members couldn’t have made us feel more welcome! Mark in the pro-shop is an absolute asset to the club and we will be returning soon! PS Mark, cheers for the tip off with Janet Gigs, Margate is proper booting off 🍻

Played recently due to our own course being closed. All members Of staff were very helpful. Course was in fair condition given the winter weather. Greens had received some dressing recently. A lot of work has been done to improve the playability of the course. Always a pleasure to play there.

Visited today to try out a club which was missing from my golf bag. Great service and advice from a friendly staff member and ended up buying what I think will be a game changer, well that's the theory! Has a vast selection of golf accessories too and is particularly well stocked with ladies golf attire. Definitely my favourite golf shop.

I had a driver fitting with Ashley on 7/9/24. Its my second fitting at DLG. We started discussing my golf in general, looking at my current driver and hitting a few warm-up shots. We then tried a range of different heads and shafts, and Ashley recommended using a 10.5 degree head adjusted down to 9 to help fight my bad strike left. I was very happy with the final selection and at no time did Ashley push any particular brand, letting the numbers do the talking. If you are buying new clubs, getting a fitting is essential. You won't find anywhere with better staff and such a wide range of equipment, clothing and shoes, all at such great pricing.

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 👍👍👍

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.

I really enjoyed this course, was very challenging and the greens are probably the hardest I’ve played. Staff at the club were very friendly, this includes the groundskeepers and they clearly do a very good job maintaining the greens and tee areas. The only thing stopping this being a 5start review for me is the restaurant opens on an as and when basis, Which I found odd (so no breakfast before tee off) tho there is a halfway house on the 13th and you can place an order when you get to the 11th hole, which is good. The Range was okay, only three bays and the range balls were poor quality (yes I know they are just range balls but these looked from the 80s). Definitely ask for a map as you will get lost. I will definitely be returning and can’t wait.

Great welcome from the staff, great service in the club house and pro shop too, especially for a large group of 25. The members were welcoming and the course is a gem. Despite the rain over the last few days it was in great condition and the test were rolling pure and fast.....slower than normal though as we were told. Looking forward to going back when it's dried out.

We received a warm welcome at Chestfield Golf Club. The clubhouse is steeped in history and is a beautiful building. The bacon sandwiches were great and set us up for a challenging and undulating course. There's also a great halfway house. Good value, and a nice golf club and course.

Great golf course and hidden gem in Kent. The club pro Warren is very friendly and knowledgeable (check out his YouTube videos). Very well kept course, you can always tell by the quality of the tee boxes and they are pristine here. Fairways are great, greens are very good, fast and with undulations. Good variety of holes. Highly recommend this course.

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.

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.

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 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.

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🥰
