What the club says: Opened in May 1995, the original 18 hole par 70 course has gained popular reputation among many golfers, and a further nine has been added. The course is laid out across two distinctly different settings, with eighteen holes carved into the hillside overlooking the Elham Valley and the third nine extending over parkland. Etchinghill offers extensive facilities to complement the 27 hole course and particularly welcome families and encourages beginners.

After a LOT of rain over the winter and soft boggy fairways as a result, the course is now beginning to recover. Greens are in great shape, fast and reliable, and the fairways are giving a bit more run.Reviewer Rating

The course breaks you in gently with the 1st few holes but soon becomes more tricky and doesn't get any easier. The further you get through the corse the more picturesque it gets. There are some awesome par 3s and some tree lined par 5s. All in all a great challenging course with some impressive views

The greens are almost back to their best after being hollow tynned recently. With the lack of rain the first cut off the fairway is all but dead leading to a lot of balls rolling off into trouble even after a good shot.

Not a course for the fainthearted. First 9 holes wind their way uphill. With very dry conditions steep slopes and very dry conditionsany shot off line is severely punished. One hole even has an electricity pylon right in the middle of the fairway. I would not recommend thos coursecto high handicappers unless you like losing lots of balls.

you need your climbing lungs
This course has a relentless climb from the 1st to 9th holes. All greens are pitched severely back to front. Don't go above the pins, which will usually end up with you 3 putting or even worse.There are some very picturesque treelined fairways. Greens are very slippery!
