pleasure to play
The course is short in distance but has tight fairways and small greens. The standard of the course is superb and the green keeper has made man subtle changes and improvement to make the course a great challenge. The drainage makes it playable al year round and always keeps its good condition. The course is extremely welcoming and all the staff are very friendly.Reviewer Rating

Fantastic little course
At the moment this is the best course for 18 holes in my area. All greens are in play and only two temporary tees. Unlike a lot of the other course it's neither boggy or has standing water. Short course with no par 5?s but enjoyable none the less. Thoroughly recommend visitingReviewer Rating

Great Coastal Course
Challenging little course, consisting of Par 4's & Par 3's situated on and around the cliffs at Westgate and Birchington with spectacular views of the sea. Highly recommended, great value, welcoming staff.Reviewer Rating

Short course requires accuracy!
Although not the longest course, with a par of 64 and no par 5's, it is fairly compact and many of the holes require accurate tee shots to get to green in regulation. Being on the coast it is susceptible to winds which ass to the challenge.The course was in great condition - firm fairways and greens despite a very wet winter.
A decent little halfway house for a drink and snack at the 13th hole (though I didn't try anything).

Marvellous with a quirkiness that's totally endearing.
Not very long (Par 64) but, if the wind is up, as difficult as any course.8 par threes. Ranging from 106 to 225 yards. Each throws up it's own problems.
Well maintained greens that were running really well.
Course is played in 4 stages. 1-3 in one field, 4 to 14 in another over the railway bridge, 15 to 17 in another field (all par threes) then back to the first field to play 18 and get into the wonderfully friendly clubhouse.
Officially been around since 1893 as W&B but there's a map in the clubhouse dated 1844. So they are clearly doing something right and breakfast was superb.
