Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of challenge does West Kent Golf Club offer, and is it suitable for all handicaps?

West Kent is a proper parkland test, demanding accuracy off the tee and smart iron play into its well-guarded greens. You'll find it fair but challenging enough to keep even lower handicappers honest, while higher handicappers will still enjoy the beautiful surroundings and welcoming atmosphere.

When is the best time of year to play West Kent Golf Club, considering the English weather?

We always recommend playing West Kent from late April through September. The course drains exceptionally well, but you'll experience the lushest fairways and firmest greens during these months, making for ideal scoring conditions. Just be prepared for the occasional shower, as is tradition in England.

How do the green fees at West Kent Golf Club compare to other courses in the Kent area, and is it good value?

Compared to some of the flashier courses in the South East, West Kent offers fantastic value for money. You're getting a meticulously maintained, mature parkland course with a welcoming atmosphere for a very reasonable green fee, especially if you can play midweek.

What's a signature hole or a unique feature at West Kent Golf Club that we absolutely shouldn't miss?

You absolutely must look forward to the par-3 16th hole - it's a beauty. It often plays longer than its yardage suggests, requiring a precise shot over a subtle dip to a green that can be tricky to hold, making for a memorable and strategic finish to your round.

Is West Kent Golf Club easy to get to, and do we need to book tee times far in advance?

West Kent is conveniently located just off the A21, making it easily accessible from London or the wider Kent area. We strongly advise booking your tee time a few weeks in advance, especially if you're aiming for a weekend slot, as it's a popular club with members and visitors alike.
