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

Lovely place. 3 courses to choose from, a driving range and putting greens to practice on. The pro shop is nicely stocked as is the 19th. Great facilities. The academy course is perfect for beginers

Fabulous course with friendly people who play there. Can highly recommend Olly Francis too for his warm and friendly approach and oodles of patience with beginners.

Great day of golf on the Leas course, we could walk and play at our tempo and enjoyed the brilliant October weather. Nice welcome and sandwich in the clubhouse. Greens were the fastest we have ever played and the course was in top condition

Great golf ⛳ club, picturesque, challenging course in excellent condition. Well done to all concerned. Highly recommended thank you. John Williams @JWfit 🇬🇧

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 lovely peaceful and serene place,that's well kept and seems to provide its regulars a comfortable place for them to unwind and play their passion away. The store in the golclub is lovely you have all the main things you need to fully experience golf the proper way. The staff in there are friendly and always willing to help. The facilities overall are in optimum shape and you can tell well looked after to upkeep the appearance and presentation of the surrounding and the golf course itself

Excellent course in lovely condition, a pleasure to play. Meal afterwards was a tad disappointing...fish pie with sprouts. Nice pudding though.

Played on the excellent Heritage course in the Pro Am. A very challenging course with some interesting holes. The condition cannot be faulted in any way (maybe the rough a little high 😆). Lovely clubhouse and friendly staff. A great experience.

Great fun. Greens are a good pace and true. Just a bit woolly later in the day. Good value for money. Fantastic views of the Dover straits on the front nine. We were lucky with the weather. Sunny conditions with a moderate wind making it a little more interesting. The half way house is very good and well stocked, plus being open as we came through around 1630hrs. Only had a beer in the clubhouse.However, the menu looked good. Overall, we loved the whole place and look forward to our return.

Been a few times now, not to play but for the food and to have a drink. The roast dinner is very good value for money and can't complain about the bat prices either. Had excellent service from izabella. Well done and will be back. You don't have to be a member to enjoy the club house

12 of us played in the Martha Trust charity fundraiser on a very blowy spring day. The clubhouse staff were cheery and welcoming, the course was in brilliant condition, with a great half way house, if I lived closer I'd definitely join. Played again 2023, The course is still fantastic and the greens are like lightening! Brilliant.

Beautiful location on top of the white cliffs with amazing views, both out to sea and over the rolling countryside… and a very friendly club, both members and staff. It’s actually a very stern test of golf with quite a few blind shots, long up-hillers and some very tricky sloping fairways (one drive I aimed and hit at the very right of the fairway rolled down the slope about 150 yards and ended up down the bottom on the left)… you have to play the contours on a lot of holes. The course also has some unique man-made bumps and ridges placed at strategic points on several holes and one massive hillock aside one of the greens, known locally as the doughnut. I played the course, twice, in clement summer weather… I expect it would be even more of a challenge with the wind whipping in off the sea. All in all a fabulous golfing experience!

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.

Brilliant, one of the best links courses. A good challenge but fair at the same time. Unbelievable history and stunning course architecture. Super friendly and helpful staff…🤩👏⛳️🏆

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.

Lovely course - one of the best locally - slightly hilly in parts - drained very quickly after morning heavy rain!

Nice course. Quite narrow and long with excellent pin positions and expertly designed with lots of tricky hazards. Deer running across course was fanatic.

Today was the first time I had the pleasure of playing this course, it deserves more than 5 stars. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition, all staff were polite and helpful, greens staff have turned out an absolute gem of a course. Can't wait to play it again.

Hidden gem. Friendly atmosphere. Beautiful course.

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.

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!

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 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

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!

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.

You can’t beat it! Wonderful place to visit and play. Thank you

Absolutely phenomenal experience!! Amazing course and Andy was an excellent caddy telling me all the best places to hit it and cheered me up after bad shots. I wish I could play here every 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

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.

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.

Lovely course with plenty of practice areas to prepare for your game. Love the wedge range and massive chipping/putting areas too. Course is in an emaculate condition, and the greens are very fast. Beware of false fronts and slopes of greens though. These can be sloping front, back, left and right towards rough or bunkers. Often taking an extra club away from these run offs is key to avoid getting beaten up by the excellent layout. Members all friendly and helpful as were the staff, nice halfway house with friendly staff who were chatty and a pleasure to see half way round. Well worth a visit if you can when guests are allowed. I was lucky enough to play a matchplay against the home side here. Also amazing views when at the top of the course.

A very good test of Golf and a course that has gone through significant redevelopment in the last few years. There were some truly fantastic par 3s some very challenging par 4s and a couple of interesting par 5s as well. Due to a lot of the felling of trees, the aesthetic of the course will perhaps take another 2 to 3 years to really mature. I think this could be an unbelievable course when they finish the work and the changes look more natural. I do think the clubhouse needs updating, but I believe there are plans to do that as well Would highly recommend playing here as it is a very good test of Golf

Wow. Haven’t played many courses in the UK like this. Almost every hole could be their signature hole. Very undulating, various holes with plenty to think about in a stunning location with views over London. Lots of work ongoing but shows they invest and take the future of the club seriously. Worth the green fees!

Lots of work being undertaken at the moment. An old hole has been found amongst the trees cut down. A site for a new clubhouse has been found and views to the city of London are beautiful. The foresight of the current owner seems to align perfectly with the original course architect. Large greens, wide fairways, a great test of golf. Don't let the par 69 fool you. This course can bite back as quick as look at you. Worth a try now, when it's completed, you won't be able to book a time or join as it will be full.
