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.

Not in great condition, fairways poor, 75% were uncut.Greens were only reasonable which when you consider this round of golf cost £50.00 was not good.
local pay and play courses have better greens with only half the costs

Always loved the layout of this course with 10 thru 12 (Amen corner) up there with the best. Great halfway house and clubhouse setting. Friendly staff. Played last week. Greens good, bunkers and tees good. However the grass needs cutting. Maybe they are protecting the clay base from the rain or footfall but it is simply too long and adversely affected the experience.Course (layout/challlenge)

Hever has one of the best layouts in the area, but are obviously not investing in the golf COURSE. Even in May the tee boxes are looking worn and the green surrounds are very patchy. If they want this course to live up its hype work needs to be done.Course (layout/challlenge)

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 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.
