Amersham rated 5 out of 5
Reviewed Sep 24 2020
An excellent 9 holes offering tight tee shots, undulations, some open shoulder hitting and several blind shots coupled with a spectacular castle backdrop. Many of the holes seemed to be downhill with little upward hikes to the next tee. Greens were heavily sanded but bunkering is clever. Not a course for those who spray.

Prettiest course in England?
You might think, looking at the website, that Leeds Castle Golf Course could be a bit of an afterthought. The Castle itself looks like a highly commercial , very well organised tourist attraction, so you might wonder how much attention is paid to the golf course. Not least because it’s hard to get a sense of what the course is like, other than a couple of very pretty pics near the castle’s moat. Otherwise all you can find out is that there are only nine holes and no par five. So, since they are not shouting about the course, it’s probably a bit dull then, and not too difficult?Don’t be fooled. This would be a brilliant course to play wherever it was. Winding through mature, hilly woodland, the course makes a feature of blind tee shots (helpfully guided by white boulders placed on the fairways) tremendously well thought out green complexes, many of them raised and with lightening fast greens, with serious bunkering, and a real emphasis on strategy. There isn’t an easy hole on the course, but particular standouts are the sharp dogleg third - with a narrow raised green that must be 60 yards long, meaning good placement of your drive is essential, and the double dogleg ninth with a spectacular (blind) tee shot down the hill and then a second over water and back uphill to another raised green, again guarded with bunkers.
Oh, and the fifth and sixth, which play around the Castle, providing those sensational views. The moat is literally in play.
I’ve often thought that the Isle of Skye golf club must be the prettiest in the world. Having played Leeds Castle, I can say that the Scottish beauty spot has a challenger.
It is also a serious and thoroughly enjoyable test of golf. I’m going back soon.

This has to be played, only nine holes but set in stunning grounds and the views over the Castle from the 5th tee takes your breath away. Value for money, so much so, that I returned for another round the next day.

This is no ordinary 9 hole course. Loads of hazards and very taxing. Lovely fairways and greens, and what a view of one of the countries finest castles.

The new layout is well worth a look, course is in good condition for the time of year.
There are only 2 par 3s now, 4th and the new 8th. The 8th is a very narrow uphill par 3 which is a great addition to the course, the redone 6th wraps round the most, to the old 7th green!
