Golf in Kent

Known as the "Garden of England", Kent offers far more than just rolling orchards and picturesque villages. For the passionate golfer it is home to some of the most storied and dramatic coastlines in the world. From the towering white cliffs of Dover to the rugged dunes of Sandwich Bay, Kent serves as a playground for those who appreciate the heritage of the game and the thrill of a seaside breeze.

Whether you are looking to follow in the footsteps of legends at Open Championship venues like Royal St George’s or prefer the American-style ambition of Nick Faldo’s Chart Hills, Kent provides a diverse portfolio of world-class golf.

Prince's Golf Club

<p>Often the most overlooked of the three Open hosts in Sandwich Bay, Prince’s more than deserves its place as one of the top links courses in the country. As the direct Neighbour of Royal St George’s, Prince’s shares the same dramatic coastline that makes both courses such epic places to play the game. For anyone golfing in the South East, this track is worthy of a place on the list.</p> <p><a href="/princes-golf-club">More info on Prince's Golf Club &gt;&gt;</a></p> <table><thead> <tr> <th>Prince's Golf Club facts</th> <th></th> </tr> </thead><tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Location</strong></td> <td>Sandwich, Kent, England</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Length</strong></td> <td>7,204 yards</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Par</strong></td> <td>71</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Designed by</strong></td> <td>Henry Cotton, Gene Sarazen &amp; Mackenzie and Ebert</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Established</strong></td> <td>1902</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Where to stay</strong></td> <td><a href="/princes-golf-club">Lodges at Princes</a></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <blockquote> <p><em>❝You should practice playing low punch shots before visiting Prince's as the key to scoring well is to stay out of the gentle, but sometimes wild, sea breeze.

Chart Hills Golf Club

<p>Set in the midst of the Kent countryside, Chart Hills is an awesome and refreshing change of pace from other parkland courses in the South East. Despite being in the Garden of England, Chart Hills has a decidedly American look and feel. As Nick Faldo’s first attempt at course design in Europe, it has been widely considered as a huge success, a definite must play in the Kent area.</p> <p><a href="/chart-hills-golf-club">More info on Chart Hills Golf Club &gt;&gt;</a></p> <table><thead> <tr> <th>Chart Hills Golf Club facts</th> <th></th> </tr> </thead><tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Location</strong></td> <td>Biddenden, Kent, England</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Length</strong></td> <td>7,045 yards</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Par</strong></td> <td>72</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Designed by</strong></td> <td>Nick Faldo</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Established</strong></td> <td>1993</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Where to stay</strong></td> <td><a href="/dale-hill-hotel">Dale Hill</a>, <a href="/the-weald-of-kent">Weald of Kent</a></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <blockquote> <p><em>❝Stay clear of the bunkers, there are lots of them!❞</em><br> <a href="https://www.yourgolftravel.com/golf-experts/rob-houston"><strong>Rob (UK &amp; Ireland Team: Handicap 16)</strong></a></p> </blockquote> <p>Call <strong><a href="tel:+448000436644">0800 043 6644</a></strong> to speak to Rob about playing this course.</p>
