Overall a nice course, but very tight fairways and lots of out of bounds. But lots of very slow payers. I think 3 hrs to play 12 holes is a bit much. So decided to walk off. 20 pounds is a bit much considering the course. And just turn up with no tee off times. Probably wont play again

Disappointed

First, the positives: the welcome was friendly, the food excellent and the toilets sparkling clean.\\Now the negatives: the greens were scabby, the first cut off the fairways was unfairly tough and tangly, and the whole place seemed a bit run down. \\Although it is a short course, it is a fair test of your handicap. Just a shame that the overall experience was disappointing

Course is split over 3 areas, which are reached by crossing roads. For some reason today players were starting their rounds on hole 17. It is a course that would suit beginners very well.

Reviewed Aug 11 2015

Driven past this club many times and finally got a chance to play what is a short par 64 course which is quite quirky in terms of its set up. We really enjoyed it. Well kept and forgiving but with some tight out of bounds close to housing and roads. Our only problem was that there was no course map apart from by the club house and as the course is split into 3 segments with a road walk between them it is easy to get disorientated playing it for the first time.However, everyone seemed very friendly and welcoming and we would play it again if/when we get the chance.

short 18 holes course, very open but tricky in the wind due to its exposed position on the north Kent coast. Great views!

Short course with tricky small greens and rough, in fair condition with some dodgy patches. An ideal place for a quick evening round.

lovely short couse with some nice views. Greens are excellent as is the drainage making it an all year round favourite. Clubhouse and facilities have recently been improved and the pro very helpful. short but sweet with easy walking making it ideal for an evening round. Good value after 1600 hrs. Many of the older members can be very slow and reluctant to let anyone through so be warned.
