What the club says: The first record of Golf being played at Gillingham was in 1905. Formally laid out by James Braid in 1919 and constructed by the army, the course remains a challenge after being updated by Donald Steel in the 1990s with its tree lined fairways and small fast greens. Situated in the Medway Towns within 10 minutes of the M2, Gillingham is ideally situated to welcome visitors from all over the country.

Narrow fairways means the emphasis is on accuracy rather the big hitting although some holes are a testing length.

Course in very good condition. If you venture off the fairway it is very difficult to score well as the rough was quite long.

Narrow tree lined course
Nice course but 2 temps very muddy in places but not if you can stay on the fairways. Several tricky greens with hidden borrows but that adds to the challenge. Will be much better in the drier weather. Pro-shop very friendly but club-house bar nearly empty when we played - very little atmosphere unfortunately but again I'm sure it will improve when the weather gets better.Reviewer Rating

The greens were in very good condition. The tight fairways makes this a very challenging course. Good clubhouse. Shame I had to park in the road out side the club due to the car park being full.

Course ok. Members not so.
Course is fine park land course, tight tree lines fairways. Not long but you have to resist hitting driver unless you are straight. Not always obvious where next tees are as a main road cuts through course and you have to cross it a few times. Atmosphere at club was quite unwelcoming though, got shouted at by a four ball of members as we couldn't find next tee ???? we also let a members 2 ball through, one of them accidentally played one of our balls and just chucked it back down the fairway without apology ???? as I say, course is fine but members let themselves down.Reviewer Rating

Golf overall was Excellent the Course was in Great Condition, just a pity we were let through on Hole 1 by a 4 ball and thanks to them. This in turn gave us a clear hole up until the 2nd where we caught up on another 2 ball and were actually standing next to them by the 6th Hole but they would not let us play through. Fortunately they only played 11 holes but overall Excellent Course and Conditions and Greens were Excellent like putting on Green Biaze

Great tight course, its not the longest course but you have to be accurate off of the tea otherwise its easy to go into the first/second cut and even the trees. The greens are in good condition and challenging. The only thing I would suggest to the club is ensure the bunkers have sand in them all round the course. some are a bit bare but other than that, great course with some challenging holes.

A thoroughly enjoyable visit to this great shortish course. One of the friendliest courses I've been to in Kent. Expect some very short, drivable par 4's and some very long par 4's that are very challenging. There's some really attractive par 3's especially the 18th overlooked by the lovely modern club house with balcony.
The course was in superb condition with plenty of greenskeepers out in force which is always a positive sign of well looked after cause. Speedy greens and narrow fairways with out of bounds posts separating several fairways and trees everywhere. Pretty views but some heavy traffic noise on some holes was an annoyance.
Bunkers will easily catch you out and they're not pleasant to play out of because due to a lack of sand.The other downside is having to cross a busy road two or three times between holes
Very challenging in windy conditions. Not particularly hilly so suitable for seniors as well as younger players.
Highly recommended. Will play here again for sure!.
