Broome Park Golf Club

I arrived to play Broome park golf course today, straight away the problems started, they now longer have a pro shop open it’s being renovated into something?

I had to walk to the half way shed to check in.

The practice green was in terrible condition.

The first tee box wasn’t any better, the condition of the tee box was uneven and full of divots.

The greens all had some sort of rotten grass on them, some off the greens also had tree roots growing through them, there was more cracks on the green than a cricket crease.

It’s looks like this course has got a lot of potential to be a great venue, however I was speaking to a member who informed me that the green keeper team consists of only two people, how can you run a golf course with two people it’s impossible.

All the money is being invested into the hotel which is running the course into the ground which is a real shame as the surroundings are beautiful.

I didnt not enjoy my around at all and I will not be back to this course again due to the comments I have spoken about, truly a disappointment Broome park you need to listen to your members or you will loose them and the paying public that are travelling to stay in your hotel and play golf.

Over the last five years the course and the management have taken the view the members and the course do not matter.

The tee boxes, and bunkers have seen no investment in years. The greens may get attention every five years and have become at best poor.

The winter sees the course resemble a rugby pitch.

A championship course has been run into the ground and become a ploughed field with 18 flags placed strategically placed on some short grass.

Members have had enough, complained and left,

Avoid at all cost ! The worst course in South East Kent by a mile.

Upon arrival there wasn't anyone at the pro shop and to report to the half way house for check in. The half way house was closed and no one was there. Every hole was the same. A mud pit. Every green poor condition with mud and bald spots and tyre tracks. Holes 5-8 were so muddy in the fairway you couldn't hit a shot.

The green on 6 the par 3 was the worst green I've ever played on.

This course used to be one of Kents finest with a pretty setting and manicured fairways. This has now been left to rot. I will be contacting them to request my money back as this was the worst round of golf Ive played in East Kent. £22 per person it's not worth £5.

The course is looking a bit worse for wear. Bunkers are hard and fairways not mown. Greens are decent. Lots of mud. Ball washing facilities need water.

The course has the potential to be very nice, but a bit of TLC would not go amiss right now.

Beautiful golf course in the kent hills

Highlight is the Stunning 18th that crosses a lake towards a stately home

Rest of the course is really nice too

Went for 2nd time exactly year apart as sons birthday and went last year

Absolutely brill day except for my golf which is my job

Got buggies

Used facilities both in hotel and in halfway house really friendly staff and manager mark I think Topman

Course long and challenging but good condition but must stay on fairways hence challenge

Greens ok but leaves everywhere but it’s autumn !!

Great day would recommend

Thanks

Just need a bit of practice for next year

Good course. Great layout. Grass on some fairways were on the longer side but nothing to really moan about. Price of the green fee is where I have slight problem, £60 is on the steep side but overall I think it’s a good place to play your golf.

The course is in a very poor condition compared with the last time I played here a few years ago.

Tee boxes & greens probably the worst I’ve played on this year which is a shame as this used to be a very nice.

Setting beautiful & loved the person who was already out waiting with our tee cards & gave us a tour quickly. Super friendly club/staff.

Only negative was the play was very very slow

Really nice course for the price they charge. Greens are a good pace, fairways are fairly nice and overall good experience.

Course is in reasonable condition for time of year. Nice round at a friendly club. Would recommend if you are looking for a nice not too difficult round. front 9 hilly - be warned. Half way house staff very friendly.

Staff welcoming on arrival. Front nine was slow due to the group in front from the first tee. Greens were true and consistant for the whole 18. Course in great condition. Will definitely play again

Superb course layout set in gorgeous countryside - very friendly staff and members, nice pace of play not over booked in the afternoon. superb memorable finishing hole as well as some very interesting holes. Enjoyed it!

Played here for 1st time on a nice sunny day

What a lovely place lovely and challenging course and lovely people.

Greens and fairways really good condition and course layout challenging but realistic

All in all a little golden nugget will be going back soon

Just a nice experience. In good condition all over.
