Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any golf courses in Kent that GolfPlnr recommends?
We've explored Kent extensively, and honestly, you won't find any golf courses within its borders that meet our criteria for a dedicated golf trip. While the region is beautiful, it's simply not a golf destination. If you're set on playing in England, we suggest looking to neighboring regions like East Sussex or Surrey for excellent options.
If I'm visiting Kent, what should I do instead of golf?
Kent offers plenty of charm, even without golf. You'll find stunning historic sites like Canterbury Cathedral and Leeds Castle, plus beautiful coastal walks along the White Cliffs of Dover. Plan for a relaxed trip exploring gardens and quaint villages, especially lovely in late spring or early autumn.
What's the best time of year to visit Kent for a non-golf trip?
We recommend visiting Kent from May to September for the best weather, perfect for exploring its gardens and historical sites. Expect pleasant temperatures and longer daylight hours, though summer weekends can be busy with local tourists. Prices for accommodation are generally higher during these peak months.
Can Kent serve as a base for a golf trip to nearby regions?
While Kent itself lacks courses, its excellent transport links make it a decent base if you're willing to travel a bit. You could stay in a charming Kentish town and take day trips to golf courses in East Sussex or even parts of Surrey. Just factor in travel time, as you'll be driving a fair distance each day.
What kind of budget should I expect for a trip to Kent, considering there's no golf?
A trip to Kent is generally mid-range; you'll find charming B&Bs and good pub food without breaking the bank. Expect to pay around £100-£150 per night for a comfortable stay, with entry fees for castles and cathedrals adding to your daily expenses. Dining out in local pubs offers good value compared to city prices.
