Very friendly club

Continues to improve with every visit. Have recently suffered from animals/birds 'attacking' several greens but otherwise in good condition.

Very poor condition.

Course was not in good condition. Ignoring the work that is currently being carried out, an awful lot more needs doing. Tree roots and bare patches on greens etc. worn areas everywhere. Played before when it was in much better condition. Bacon roll consisted of 1 rasher of streaky bacon in a tiny ciabatta type roll. We started at 2 and were told we had to be back by 6 or lose our car keys. ( they were left with the barman !) Not one of the best I've played this year.

Nice course in great condition

A decent price for a midweek oldie like myself and course was in a good condition, with some marks on a couple of greens, but a few bunkers that were GUR. Nice bar area and seating outside, shop is small, but all the staff are nice

Great conditions many bunkers gur

This course looks lovely at the moment only let down by the number of bunkers GUR. Other than that a good test and good on the eye, need accuracy off the tee and if the wind is up it's tricky. £26 for an afternoon round represents great value

Good condition except bunkers

Several bunkers as GUR due to no sand and no maintenance. However I only ever found one like that. The other 2 there was sand available. Tees a little long and patchy in places but fairways good and greens at a nice pace and resective, due to rain over last 2-3 days.

Work around the course pays off

The continual improvements to the course make this a delight to play. Halfway through upgrading the bunkers - the tees, fairways and greens are in great condition.

Good condition

I played this course in April and for the ?45 I paid it certainly was not worth it , I emailed the course for their thoughts and didn't get a reply .I thought I?d give it another try and have realised it's a lovely course in the summer but not so in the winter.

The Darenth is a very good parkland course, with fair but serious challenge for golfers to enjoy. Just be away that information and facilities on the tee boxes is a little sparse, and the quality of some of the greens was a little poor with bare patches and cracks.

Course was in excellent condition,greens ran very true but the state of the bunkers diminishes the enjoyment of the course ,most bunkers have GUR signs which was virtually every hole which is unacceptable when paying £35!

Played the Darenth 7th Feb 24. After recent poor weather the course played better than expected, worth a visit for winter golf. Greens were wet but ran fairly true, it was a shame people didn't repair their pitch marks. Very muddy between holes.

All the greens were well drained and reasonably well maintained but it would help if everyone used a pitch repairier. As usual there bunkers there are poor with little or no sand.

Winter golf

We played the Darenth on the 29th November. In the few days prior we had some very heavy downpours. I have to say that the drainage was excellent. There was no water on the fairways and the greens were in excellent condition. Definitely a course for the winter conditions.
