Golf in Kent

Kent is a county in South East England and is famous for its white chalk cliffs. Since the Channel Tunnel was finished, it is now also connected to the French department of Pas-de-Calais. Because of its relative abundance of fruit-growing orchards and hop gardens, Kent is also known as "The Garden of England". Its direct connection with Continental Europe through the Channel Tunnel, has made Kent quite a popular golf destination for golfers from France, Germany and the Benelux.

Golf in Kent
Kent also has a very rich history when it comes to golf. There are many golf clubs in Kent, some of which have hosted multiple Open Championships. Royal St George’s, Royal Cinque Ports and Prince’s Golf Club, located in Sandwich and Deal, are considered as some of the leading links golf courses in the world. Well-known parkland courses in Kent are London Golf Club and Knole Park. Kent's links courses are located on the East coast, so if you love to play links courses it's best to head to the area between Ramsgate and Dover.

West Malling Golf Club
Vriendelijke ontvangst. Afwisselende holes met soms blinde slagen. Veel oude bomen. Brede en smalle fairways wisselen elkaar af. Enkele waterhindernissen. 2e negen met behoorlijke hoogteverschillen. Routeaanduiding laat te wensen over. Sommige holes dicht bij/langs elkaar; afslag hole 3 moet over de green van 2! Uitstekende greens.

Verschillende holes hebben een orachtig uitzicht op de zee wat zeker een extra troef is. Prijs kwa…

Sene Valley Golf Club

It’s a course in the ‘feel good’ category; wide fairways, nearly any roughs, most holes are straightforward designed, large greens (but challenging sometimes). We only played the firs…
