Darenth at this time of year is in superb condition. Friendly staff in the clubhouse and pro shop. Good variety of holes and pretty forgiving for the high handicapper. I would recommend DVGC every time.

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.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

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)

disappointing golf course
on my recommendation took two colleagues to the course ,one of which has his own motability buggy.after paying the green fees of ?25 each we were about to go to the 1st Te,.we were then advised by the starter that THE OWNER does not allow individual buggies but will let you purchase a club buggy ,no reason given for not accommodating injured players!..We were not advised that the green staff were Hole Tining the greens and there was no reduction in the green fee .The course was in good condition however NO SECOND CUT FROM THE FAIRWAYS and the long grass would mean lost balls and time consumption looking for them. The green staff also left longer grass growing in the middle of some of the fairways,this meant good shots would be punished and stopped from running as far as they would from the Tee. In summation a very disappointing day out. Speaking to one of the members on the course, his opinion was that the owner is more interested in catering for Wedding receptions than the running and condition of the course!.Reviewer Rating

Great venue
The general condition of the course was excellent, greens, fairways and tee boxes. Well worth a visit, one of my favourite courses. Would like a driving range rather than a practice area.Reviewer Rating

Quiet Sunday afternoon
Been here many times over the years but have never seen the course so quiet and so well maintained. Pleasure to go around this course. My partners were complaining about the bunkers as rain water has left them with no sand and like concrete but if you don't go in them there is nothing to complain about. Really enjoyable and will be visiting again before the end of year.(Round played: Aug 2017 - Score: 85 Handicap: 14.4)

Well worth a visit
Hadn't played here for nearly 3 years and to be honest it was looking a bit tired back then. They have clearly been making improvements recently and the clubhouse and course are looking very good.Course is interesting and a challenge. The par threes are all excellent.
At the moment the course is in great condition. The tee boxes have been given some TLC (which is something I think a lot of clubs overlook) and they were tyning and top dressing some of them them while we were there. The greens roll well and are receptive.
Clearly they are making an effort all round and for £23 this is a great value course. £6.50 for the all day breakfast is great value too.
