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.

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

GREAT IMPROVEMENTS

Have played here many times. The course is undergoing improvements but those already completed has fine tuned an already good venue. The addition of the revetted bunkers provides an intersting experience - especially when you arrive in one!

The course is very well maintained. Pro shop staff friendly and inviting as has always been the case and the golfers you meet on the course both members and visitors are also pleasant. The course was challenging due to a stiff 20 mile an hour wind but thoroughly enjoyed my round and managed to get under 100 for the first time!

Great day

Back again after 2 years away. And the course is as good as it was before. Greens in good condition, and course played tough with the wind, but even with a first time player we all had a good round. Staff friendly as ever.

Be back soon.

Lovely round

We arrived at about 2.50. Checked in at the pro shop. They guy there was very welcoming. We went to what we thought was the first tee but was the third!!! Then played the first-second and third. We knew we would be ok as we could just follow the group in front. But..... as we teed off down the 4th two guys told us it was the 18th!! The signage was poor. We almost made an error around the 10th as well. Having said that a great experience. Perfect for occasional players like us. The juxtaposition of a kind of parkland set up next to the sea is great. The greens were nice and fast. For us the open nature of most of the course is great as we were not too worried about tee shots!! I also love the different holes. Some nice semi blind approaches, some lovely greens to try and hit. The weather was perfect. Sunny and about 22 degrees!!!!

Nice course, no rough to speak of at the moment. I have played here before so had an idea of the layout. Finished one over par on a windy day. I will go back for a change of scenery.

A perfect Saturday morning

I think my Teeoftimes booking on a Saturday morning came as a bit of a surprise to the Secretary and Pro but they both could not have been more accommodating. I had obviously booked in the middle of the Saturday roll-up but including me in the roll-up was no problem and the members I played with could not have been more delightful and welcoming. I am sure that if the wind is blowing, this cliff-top course is quite a challenge. On a balmy Saturday morning it was a most enjoyable experience. Within the par 64, there are no par 5s but there is plenty of challenge with some deep rough, tight out-of-bounds and well-placed bunkers. I can think of few better ways to spend 3 1/2 hours if you are in the area.
