Good condition

The course is currently (3/8/23) in excellent condition and is was a pleasure playing there. A lot of work has been done on the bunkers and they are now great. Greens are excellent too.

Friendly links golf.

First time playing - good fun course. Keep the map with you if not playing with member as need to cross the road a few times. Everyone I came across were really friendly- got a bit lost on one tee and 2 gents were really helpful. Lovely half way house- great staff. park in the road adjacent to course if you can’t get in car park. Excellent bunkers - short course but overall I thought excellent value. Nice views of the sea- I’ll be back! Keep the friendly vibe going it makes you stand out. Top stuff.

Good Value

For the price, I'd say this was a good course. 2nd time I played here. First time was in July and the course was playing fast. This week was in decent condition. One thing is that the signs should be better. If you didn't know the course, there could be some confusion for the 4th hole, but overall a decent course for the money. Greens were well kept too.

Tight short course

Rather flat, short and very tight. Fairways close together with little protection from the wind. Very slow round 3 3/4 hours for a two ball. Held up on every tee

Fantastic Course.

A great little course, always in excellent condition and some great views. I have played every course in Thanet, bar one, and this has to be my favourite. It's not too long and the greens are always perfect and for the price, you can't go wrong. Keep up the good work guys.

First Time Playing

Came over from the US on vacation, picked the course because it was close to where I was staying and it looked nice on satellite photos, course was great and the staff was even better, pretty sure the pro there let me use his electric push cart that was way better then the regular ones that you got as a rental, only real complaint would be the halfway house closed too early so I got pretty thirsty on the back nine
