Twilight
Afternoon round with friends. Was informed we had to have my buggy back by 18.00 or I would not be able to retrieve my car keys, only to realise that the buggy only had 1 speed, and I've seen quicker snails. Course is interesting, but penal for anything off line. Reload,, not even worth looking ! Some good par ?s and par 4?s and overall a course worth the effort. Would recommend.Reviewer Rating

wedding venue
The Darenth as it now likes to be known is surely lovely for the weddings it wants, not golfers. The course was chewed up by badgers, the greens were literally covered in footprints and very uneven, they had a starter who had been appointed but was still waiting his uniform...too many rules not enough care. Wont be using againReviewer Rating

Disappointed
Website states well drained, open all year course. The mud on my trolley was the worst I've ever seen, The course is suffering serious damage from badgers and crows which I can accept but, paying full price l think is unfair. Most of the tee boxes and greens are roped off making play very slow with the trolley. As you can't book online and forced to phone, the proshop should have given a better picture of course condition.Reviewer Rating

Shocking condition
Nice refurbished club house, acceptable greens, however the rest of the course is in shocking condition. Fairways are torn to pieces, extremely muddy everywhere, tee boxes are 5 foot wide and in poor condition, bunkers are rock solid and poorly maintained. The course has been haphazardly roped off everywhere, in some cases a tripping hazard when trying to access the tee boxes. On the first tee the starter jobsworth gives you a ten minute lecture on course etiquette, but then no-one is marshalling out on the course preventing slow play from the members? Very disappointing and not worth the £32 mid week green fee.Reviewer Rating

Worst ever
The course was in a very bad state and was no where near value for moneySome areas were very dangerous to walk on but you had no choice if you wanted to get to the next tee box. The greens that were already small have been made smaller.
Badgers are a huge problem on the course and the staff are obviously struggling to cope with this
I have played this course many times and enjoyed the challenge but it is now clear that the management see this as a wedding venue and not a golf course. I will not play here again

Winter weather but terrible upkeep
Course was in terrible condition.Rakes in bunkers either missing or broken.
Parts of fairway netted off and much of the course had areas around fringes of green dug up and unplayable. This was allegedly due to magpies causing the damage.
?39 for a round is too much for the condition of the course.

Some very Spongy greens
Apart from the spongy greesn there seems to have been an outbrake of Animals tearing up the fairways in patches. Looks unsightly but didn't affect the game. Muddy paths have now been roped off and between greesna dn tees there is a much greater distance so preserving the tees and areas around the greens. Bumpy greens with one or two being still quite spongy. Greens have been cut to a much smaller size which is good as makes the course more difficult.(Round played: Jan 2022 - Score: 95 Handicap: 16.2)

Forgiving. And great views
First time back in 30 years but only because on the wrong side of the river to me. Forgotten quite how open it was but fairways were above par for late December & greens mostly good - at least no temps or temp tees. Still a bit muddy here & there away from those areas & bunkers not great. But the views are pleasant & every hole gives you a chance to score.Reviewer Rating
