Not in the best of states

Greens tined recently and still recovering and quite hard but not fast. Can't land anything on them. Fairways could do with some seed as could the 1st cut of rough.

Course not at its best

Greens were ok. Been tined @ 2 weeks ago so still recovering. Fairways looking very dry and little grass. Not much rough and what rough there is is very dry and missing clumps. That is the 1st and 2nd cut of rough. Greens are so dry you land a ball, on most holes, short they will roll off back. If you land one on green then chances are unless a SW/LW, it too will not stay on green

Another nice day at The Darenth

They continue to make improvements, making the most of the beautiful Kent countryside.
The owner sets the scene, he always seems to be around, chatting away in the clubhouse or out on the course checking on the greenkeepers progress.

Good to play, but very claggy

We were pleased to get a round in and the course played well considering the amount of recent rain. Very muddy that made it a bit of a slog towards the end.

The Darenth

Looking at the fairways one would think all OK. What you fail to spot is the millions of worm casts. Not the club's fault per se but you can't avoid them. Very quickly your trolley and shoes are totally caked with mud. My electric trolley gave up at the 15th because of the extra workload to cater for the mud. It is a reasoanble course but clearly not one to play at this time of year.
