What the club says: The course is constructed on one hundred & twenty acres of very well drained undulating parkland course, the higher part having clear views of the River Medway and Thames Estuary.The North Course
There are some very interesting holes to play to create very exciting rounds of golf from the long rolling 4th to the well laid out 14th finishing over the lake in front of the green. The 18th as the last but not least, you will remember 'River Valley' with its long undulating approach to the 18th green right outside the clubhouse.
The short 9 hole course has six par 4 and you may go round twice. The perfect course for those who enjoy the short game and of course for those learning the game of golf.
The long south course is for the longer striker. Three par 5, three par 4 & three par 3. The 8th hole being the longest at 623 yards, a more level course but all in pristine condition.

Decent course, great value
Firstly, with the County Card, the main course was only ?22. Very good value. The course was in good conditionLots of blind holes, which makes it interesting for first time players (like me) and lots of fairways separated only by a line of trees. A couple of holes early on are close to Out Of Bounds with houses and roads, which is, of course, a magnet for the ball!

I think this course is well worth the money. Its pretty well looked after and has some great holes and a sociable club house. Some holes are a bit blind and its fairly tightly packed in so expect a few shouts of fore and make sure you do the same. I like it.

First visit in 10+ years
Overall very good course and worth the money. Is a tricky course for higher handicappers, I play of 22 and went round in 96. Around half the holes have some elevation changes so makes for an interesting round, 14-17 slightly easier then 18 is a real challenge with 2 doglegs on a par 4. Sunday tee time just before 2 and went round in 4 hours, slow once we'd caught up with the group in front around the turn. ?30 good value for a weekend round.Reviewer Rating

WHAT A TURN AROUND
Can't give enough credit to green keepers and staff for what they have achieved the last 2 months what was once unplayable in February 22 has now become a 10/10 course worth every penny if not more. Putting greens were carpet smooth especially after the wild life issues recently if any golfers fancy a challenge with a course asking pritty much every shot in the game this course is right for you fantastic stuff upchurch ????????????Reviewer Rating

Was once a fantastic course
Nothing to gain from being a member anymore as all visitors are now allowed to book a week in advance so tuff to play this course and this now has made the pace very slow,, this course was very well kept before Covid since golfer been allowed back over a year ago now this course conditions are very poor. Greens all blotchy and dead. Bunkers never in good condition and rough never cut below ankle hight even just of the fairways. Which also courses slow play searching each time for a ball that should be found. Pro shop staff are always friendly food amazing. But seems ther letting the golfers down with conditions. For bout 3 months now the 3rd & 4th hole on 18 have been temporary green wich is unplayable yet no consideration on green fee's being lowered. THIS WAS MY GO TO CLUB AND SEEMS A MASSIVE SHAME ITS BECOMING A UNWANTED COURSE NOW ????????????Reviewer Rating

Interesting parkland course
The course was in pretty good condition but the grass on the fairways was too long (could have been shorter and therefore tighter) and the greens were very soft due to over watering.(Round played: Sep 2021 - Score: 92 Handicap: 17.1)

Disappointing
Booked at short notice which was good but pro shop failed to mention would be behind a society group which are notorious for being slow. Spent lots of time waiting on tee boxes waiting for group in front to clear. A few dead animals on course so groundsmen need to check more often. After play had to check in with NHS app which was good and good to find a table where we would get served. After 15 minutes and despite staff keep looking at us knowing we hadn't been served they seemed more interested in passing out condiment sachets to the society as they were more interested in keeping them happy to get their tip. With this hour up and left as was obvious we weren't going to get served imminently.Reviewer Rating
