Amazing views, tough approaches
I suspect this course is sometimes a bit overlooked, situated as it is just south of the Princes/St George's/Cinque Ports stretch of world-class links. It's not a links - although, on the top of chalky cliffs, it often plays like one - but it is a very classy layout which will test the best golfers. The rest of us (eg golfers like me) may struggle on some of the tougher holes. When I played, it was gloriously sunny with hardly a breath of wind. On a day when there's a good breeze off the North Sea I imagine this will be a beast. It's a glorious location though - you can see France one way and Ramsgate the other from many of the holes. And the course is a proper championship test - long, wide fairways, big changes in elevation (more on that in a minute), large, impeccably maintained greens and some superbly(or devilishly) positioned bunkers. In fact, my only criticism is the three holes on the back nine built into the side of the cliffs. The result is fairways with such a pronounced slope you cannot keep your ball on them. The straightest drivers will find themselves at the bottom of the slope just like the worst slicers or hookers. Some may call this quirky, but to me it felt as if good shots were unfairly punished. A small point, because otherwise, especially on a nice sunny day, you'll have a fantastic experience at "the club on the cliffs".Reviewer Rating

Spectacular view from the Cliffs
I thoroughly enjoyed playing Walmer and Kingsdown in spectacular weather with amazing views of the English Channel and also saw the cliffs of France!The course was in great condition and very trick slopes had to be navigated. Tough uphill par 3's.

we got a 4 ball for £80, excellent value for money with some stunning views. If it wasn't for the 45MPH winds which stopped the members from going out that day it would have been perfect. Please not if playing in the wind a very difficult course.

No hole is flat. Fairways have not suffered from lack of watering as on some other courses I have played. Greens have recently been recently and sanded and are not in the best condition but still ran true.

A good test
We were lucky in that it was a very calm day. I'm sure it would have been a different proposition playing in windy conditions. The course looked great and the greens were in good condition. All day breakfast very good value.Reviewer Rating
