What the club says: The setting alone is inspiration enough at Hever Castle’s 250 acre 27 hole course. Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, dates back to 1270. In 1903 William Waldorf Astor acquired the Castle and gradually added to the estate. In the 1920s the Astors created a nine hole golf course for their personal enjoyment, set around the Hever Castle lake and land to the north of Hever Castle, which survived until the Second World War when it was sadly abandoned.

An absolutely lovely course to play and highly recommend playing it, only down side is the price. All courses are dry at the moment and Hever was just as dry as any other, so I think the ?50 fee to play should be less as the ground conditions are not great.Course (layout/challlenge)

Sadly Hever has suffered this summer and it?s fairways have effectively disappeared. Although the ball runs forever, there?s no grass where it stops so nigh on impossible to get any spin on approach shots. Princes looked in slightly better condition.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jul 24 2020 by Ian F - rated 3 out of 5 interesting back nine, fairways very dry and preferred lies needed on a couple of the final holes but understandable given the dry summer we are having.

Reviewed Jul 23 2020 by Ralph P - rated 4 out of 5 Played here on a society day. One of our groups were a little slow which caused some contenation amongst the members which was unfortuante but otherwise hospitality on the day was good. Course itself was in reasonable condition though some fairways were pretty dry. I'm assuming their not allowed to water them at the minute. Preferred lies were in operation as a result. Greens were fine and the course is always a good challange. Bacon roll to start was nice but no food after at present.

Played here in 2015 & have wanted to come back for a long time. Finally played here again yesterday. Such a beautiful golf course. Some tricky holes but generally quite an open course. Few water Hazards though! Loved it & will be back again soonOnly negative we found was the bar staff were a bit rude pre round but post round they were very welcoming.

Lovely place to play golf.

Our society played the Boleyn Course (Princes nine and the front nine holes of the Championship Course) and can only describe the course condition as unplayable, nearly every fairway shot was completely plugged, the tee boxes were terrible, just a horrible experience. The championship course was much better so not sure they can blame the weather? Would only play this course in the summer months. They should have warned our society about the poor conditions before taking our money or at least give the option of changing courses.Course (layout/challlenge)
