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.

Great value

Old fashioned, straightforward and well maintained. It's not got thrills and spills and if you're playing well you should beat your handicap readily. However it's a very enjoyable short round with enough to think about to keep you engaged. There is a little field of par 3s at 15, 16, 17 thwt determine just howwellnyoubare going to score.

First of all have to say a BIG thanks and thumbs up to the ground staff looking forward to the spring when the new tee?s etc will be in operation.True being spread over 3 fields it's not to every one?s liking but being on chalk it's a year round course with nice sea views on many holes a good half way hut a small but perfectly formed club house with friendly staff and members,what more could you ask. o yes all at a good price. see you there

Challenge Day

We have just had our first challenge day at WG&BGC today Kingsdown Vs Etchinghill on mutual ground. The course was in very good order 1 temp hole but advised before we went out.
I must say the improvements on the course since lockdown has been fantastic. We had a superb breakfast before playing and the golf professional was very helpful in organising our day.
The catering staff were excellent with good service.
We certainly will plan again to hold our event at this course in the future
Make no mistake this is a challenging course and when work is completed it will be even harder.

Nice shirt course. Not too many tricky holes so even if you don’t hit too straight you should be okay
