Frequently Asked Questions

Is Folkestone Sports Centre's Pitch & Putt good for beginners or families?

Absolutely, this is where you want to bring new golfers or just have a relaxed family outing. The holes are short and forgiving, making it perfect for honing your short game without the pressure of a full-length course. We think it's one of the best spots in the area to introduce someone to golf.

What can I expect from the actual course at Folkestone Sports Centre?

You'll find a well-maintained 9-hole Pitch & Putt that truly focuses on your short game. The greens are decent for the type of course, and while it's not championship-level, it offers enough variety with gentle undulations to keep things interesting. Expect a straightforward, fun layout designed for quick rounds.

Do I need to bring my own golf clubs and balls to Folkestone Sports Centre?

You can definitely rent clubs and balls on-site, which is super convenient if you're traveling light or just trying it out. However, if you have your own trusty wedge and putter, we always recommend bringing them for that familiar feel. A few extra balls are never a bad idea either, just in case.

When is the best time to play the Pitch & Putt at Folkestone Sports Centre?

For the most pleasant experience, we suggest visiting during the warmer months, typically May through September, when the English weather is at its best. Weekday mornings are usually quieter if you prefer a more solitary round, but it's generally not overly crowded even on weekends. It's playable year-round, but dress for the elements outside of summer.

How much does it cost to play at Folkestone Sports Centre, and is it good value?

The pricing here is very reasonable, especially considering the fun you'll have and the opportunity to practice your short game. It's an excellent value for a casual round or a quick practice session, far less than a full 18-hole course. You'll find it's a small investment for a good hour or so of golf enjoyment.
