Frequently Asked Questions
What's the real feel of playing Mid Kent Golf Club- is it a tough test or more relaxed?
Mid Kent offers a surprisingly engaging round, especially considering its parkland setting. You'll find the tree-lined fairways demand accuracy, and the greens, while not overly undulating, are often well-protected, making for a satisfying challenge without being overly punishing. It's a great course for sharpening your iron play.
When's the best time of year to experience Mid Kent Golf Club at its finest?
We always recommend visiting Mid Kent in late spring or early autumn. The course conditions are typically superb then, with lush fairways and firm greens, and you'll avoid the peak summer crowds and the often-soggy winter conditions that can plague English courses. Plus, the surrounding Kent countryside is beautiful during these seasons.
Are there any standout holes at Mid Kent Golf Club that I should really look forward to?
Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 7th, which plays over a small valley to a well-bunkered green- it's a real beauty and a test of nerve. The finishing stretch, particularly the par-5 18th, is also memorable, offering a chance to finish strong with a well-placed drive. You'll appreciate the thoughtful design throughout.
What should I expect regarding green fees and booking a round at Mid Kent Golf Club?
Mid Kent offers excellent value for a quality Kentish parkland course; green fees are generally quite reasonable, especially if you book a twilight slot or look for online deals. We recommend booking your tee time a few weeks in advance, particularly for weekend play, as it's a popular local club. You'll find the pro shop staff very welcoming.
What practical advice do you have for someone playing Mid Kent Golf Club for the first time?
Bring your A-game for accuracy off the tee- straying too far into the trees can quickly add strokes to your card. We also suggest wearing comfortable, waterproof shoes, as even in drier months, English courses can have damp patches, and a light rain jacket is always a good idea, just in case. You'll enjoy the walk, so be prepared.
