The club is in relatively good condition, however as stated below the course is outrageously expensive. I certainly will not be returning,

massively disappointing

WKGC has a good reputation but we thought it incredibly poor. It was in the worse condition of any club we've played in the last two years. Greens were soft and bobbly with mud on them and fairways in terrible condition. Nice club but the course needs some TLC.

Disappointing

Great photos on website & with a standard green fee of £50, my expectations were high. Luckily though, I was delayed today, so paid the twilight rate.
Beautiful rural setting but not an inspiring course for me, with too many shots over hills where you’re not sure where to go Some may like it, but my highlight was the sight and sound of a Spitfire flying over from nearby Biggin Hill.

(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 84 Handicap: 8)

Reasonably enjoyable day, greens were a bit shoddy. Tight holes and quite hilly so can be tough on your legs if you are getting on a bit like me! Perhaps I was expecting too much of West Kent, not as good as I thought it would be.

Every time we come it is on temps and I'm sure it could be a good course but for this. Members can be aloof and club not as welcoming as they make out.

Not as good as I’d hoped

Not a bad course but not one I’d rush back to play . I enjoyed the elevated start on the 1st and the last couple of holes look very nice underneath the clubhouse but for the main part quite dull . The greens are ok but not as good as others I’ve played and fairways had some bare areas and some of the tee boxes are very messy . Whole place is ok but feels like it could be better

Haven't played this course in many years but it was a welcome return meeting up with old golfing friends.
The course was in good condition and have benefitted from increase membership over the COVID-19 lockdown period like most clubs.
