Hever Castle Golf Club - Championship Course

Course was in excellent condition. Greens fantastic. Day spoilt by ridiculously slow play. Tee'd off at 1.56 and took 3 hours to play 11 holes. Had to leave as as I would have finished too late.

Greens are very good and fast. But fairways needs to be improved. But overall worth for the money.

Nice clubhouse and range. Course is a mix of lovely, interesting and picturesque holes (12,13 particularly from memory) and pretty dull ones, 1 and 18 made a very disappointing start and finish. We played after a long fairly dry spell in May 2025. Fairways were in poor shape, greens were mostly ok but some were bumpy, tees decent.

It’s a shame because I played this course about 8 years ago and the course was in championship standard condition.

Got a hot deal at £55 so not bad value and was pleased to find a decent place to play on a Bank Holiday.

A mixture of some wonderful holes (start of the back nine in particular) and quite a bit of filler. Pretty as a picture throughout. In not great condition (fairways especially), but really good range, practice areas, and off course facilities.

I don’t know why I haven’t payed here before, it’s always been on my list of courses to play and it certainly did not disappoint.

Even though I didn’t have my best round of golf the layout and course conditions were amazing.

The 11th, 12th & 13th holes are something a bit special.

Can’t wait to come back again.

Not for the faint hearted, especially the 17th

The course was in pretty good condition, but like most courses it seems the fairways are struggling a bit with the dry weather, they were a bit patchy in places so we played preferred lies… the greens were in really good shape, fast and firm. The layout was good for someone who has never played the course, not many blind holes… back 9 was more interesting than the front.

Good value for money at £45 but £38 better suits the level, not sure if rush back to play again but glad I played it.

Really enjoyed the Championship Course at Hever Castle GC. I'd not played there for over ten years and it was a treat to return. The greens were in truly excellent condition however the fairways do need some work following the very wet conditions earlier in the year.

£38 was a fair price but this was a weekend twilight rate. Not sure I'd pay much more for the course given the fairways.

One slight negative was finding the halfway hut closed at the turn. This always disappoints me as it really adds to the experience and is an easy money maker for the club.

Long but lovely course! Been around 10yrs since I played here but it was a great day for a team golf day - wonderful setup these days, and thankfully the weather was kind! 🌞

Friendly staff. Reasonable layout.

Front 9 especially 2-5, were not in the best of condition, Sandy and fairways cut up.

All holes off mats and some holes, like the 17th, were much shorter.

Some lovely par 3s over water.

Lovely club house and staff very welcoming - nice breakfast.

A lovely golf course cracking lay out unfortunately the course was so wet.on one fairway the course was so wet there were dead worms all over the fairway maybe the 6th 7th or 8th and the smell was terrible.i would say the course wasn't playable lots many balls in the fairway just plugging and burying.would I go back yes only in the summer just unfortunate experience I guess

Overall fairway conditions are quite bad, very patchy and sludgy! We felt the extra weight on our shoes before we finished hole 1! Greens are reasonable for winter golf but most people walked into it before us with the mud on their shoes and left plenty of it in the green which made it very messy and difficult to put properly. Won't be playing here again in the winter! There are drier courses that you can enjoy a proper round of golf nearby.

Great all round course… challenging but fair with it. Greens were in fantastic condition, along with the rest of the course.

Played it in 32° weather after weeks of good weather, was expecting burnt out fairways but it couldn’t be purer. Highly recommend.

Excellent golf course, excellent conditions and lovely people

Not for the faint hearted but a great course when it’s dry
