Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to visit Whitstable and Seasalter Golf Club for a round?

We always steer golfers towards late spring or early autumn here. You'll find the course in fantastic condition, the weather is typically milder than peak summer, and you avoid the busiest holiday crowds. It's perfect for enjoying the coastal air without battling the elements too much.

Is Whitstable and Seasalter a proper links course, and what kind of challenges does it present?

While not a classic championship links, it definitely has that coastal feel, especially when the wind picks up off the estuary. You'll need to master low trajectory shots and be prepared for some firm run-offs around the greens. Don't underestimate the subtle undulations on the fairways - they can send a good drive astray.

What should I expect to pay for a visitor green fee, and is it good value compared to other Kent courses?

Green fees typically range from £35-£50, depending on the day and season. We think it's excellent value for a well-maintained course with genuine character, especially considering its proximity to the coast. Look out for twilight deals in the summer; they offer fantastic bang for your buck.

What's the signature hole or a particular highlight I shouldn't miss at Whitstable and Seasalter?

For us, the stretch around the 12th and 13th really stands out. The 12th, a par-3, often plays directly into a crosswind, demanding precision, and the views across the estuary from that part of the course are simply stunning. It's where you truly feel the coastal influence.

How physically demanding is the course to walk, and would you recommend a buggy?

The course is relatively flat and very walkable, making it a pleasant stroll for most golfers. We rarely opt for a buggy here unless you have a specific mobility concern or are playing back-to-back rounds. Enjoy the fresh air and the easy pace on foot.
