So many Golf courses

[teegirl]

I'm staying at Sissinghurst and went for a pootle about looking at the local Golf courses, soooo many to choose from and sooooo different.

Went to Staplehurst first, public 9 hole, new and looked a bit run down, friendly enough and had an empty driving rang so tried it out...... I'm really missing my practice :-((

I was looking for Biddenden, an 18 hole par 3, but my sat nav thought I meant Chart Hill. The approach and practice facilities were quiet impressive, I had the feeling my Honda Jazz was a bit out classed in the car park, and I can't remember seeing a club house that big, that was not a 5* hotel. At 70.00 don't have time to do it justice.

I then headed back to Sissinghurst and found Hemsted Forest g c, now your talking)) looks very nice, and I love trees, every thing about it made me want to stay and play, so will be back later in the week, and after 5pm £10.00. Anyone played their?

Still haven't found the par 3 course, next time I will jot down the post code, Doh!!
These three are all less than 5 miles away and probably another half dozen within 10 miles, some people are sooooo lucky

I played it a couple of years ago. It was in pretty good condition. You have to like trees ! the holes are a bit samey. All tight & treelined but nice enough. I played in a society and all you could hear all day was the sound of golf balls on wood :angry:

It's worth a visit, but not in the same class as Chart Hills. Dale hill is worth a visit also

chart hills is such a nice course, was a member there when i was 11/12, the facilities are amazing, world class range, the locker room is the the size of most clubhouses and some of the holes are designed so well, especially the 13th and 17th, really makes you think about what shot to play all the time, not to mention it being in immaculate condition all the time, pros are nice too

Don't quote me, but I heard it was very busy and can be very slow.
