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

Beautiful course, I’m not a golfer myself but I’ve now held two charity golf days here and from an organisation view I could not fault it, Jo and Donna were superb and a huge help.

Great golf course with some picturesque and challenging holes.Greens and fairways in good condition in November. Pro shop and hospitality staff are all really friendly. Great value , thoroughly recommnded

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.

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 👍👍👍

Always a top course and now moving towards greatness. A marvellous test of golf that is now showing some class. Tees all good most fairways very good and all greens superb and very challenging. Bunkers are proper top course quality, properly raked to give you a chance. Give it a bit more time to mature and it’ll be on a great number of golfers wish list. Btw great views of London too.

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.

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!

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

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.

Lovely and friendly staff and other golfers. We did the 18 hole parr 3 Course. As it was Mother’s Day we didn’t go into the bar area. The shop is nice and a variety of both men + women’s clothing.

This is undoubtedly one of the "must play" courses in East Kent. Course is in great condition, greens smooth fast and true. Clubhouse and pro shop staff are all helpful, friendly and efficient. Look forward to playing it again.

The staff are friendly and informative, making you feel welcome and appreciated. From booking the tee time on the phone to the moment we left we everyone was so friendly. The course is the highlight, it’s a stunning short-ish course. With some beautiful views as you make your way around. There is little fort on the picturesque par 3 on hole 5. It seems easy at first with the front 7 holes lulling you into a sense of greatness. Then the course changes and shows you its true colours. With ever greater difficulty not just in yardage but also with the bunkers guarding the greens and hole placement. Talking about bunkers they were all in great condition, with light fluffy sand and extremely well place to catch the average drive. Underneath is chalk which makes for a lovely playing surface. The greens are a tad slow, but tricky with excellently placed holes. Each one has its own character and challenges, many of which are vividly memorable or maybe haunting 😅. Great day. Can’t wait to come back.

Played here at the end of November. Course in excellent conditions. A scenic course l. A true test of golf. Good food and drinks too.

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 🍻

Fantastic golf course, fairways, greens and bunkers are perfect. It’s a short course but very good value for money.

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!

Cheap little course but very well looked after. Nice fareways and green. Great views all round. Coffee stand half way round.

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🥰

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

No complaints. Played both courses and for my level of skill the grounds were just right. I would love to see some hole maps on the score cards.

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.

Had the most amazing experience! The course was incredible

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.

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!!

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!

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.

Absolutely superb. Good quality course which is a real thinking test for a golfer. It's cliff top, built on chalk so drains excellently. Notwithstanding, it plays like a links course requiring challenging approach play and careful putting. Good clubhouse and well stocked pro shop too. Couldn't thinks of anything better... Its more fun than Prince's Golf Club just up the coast to be honest. Well recommended.

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.
