Canterbury Golf Club: located just outside one of England's most renowned cathedral cities, here you'll find an excellent out-and-back Harry Colt design that's full of interest and a few pleasant surprises. The holes nestle in attractive natural woodland, accompanied by plenty of elevation change.
This undulating and predominantly tree-lined parkland layout will test most facets of your game, ensuring a round with plenty of enjoyable golfing challenges. The short par-5 opener gives a clue as to the elevation changes that await. With those elevation changes come a few blind drives and approach shots, and several nicely elevated tees and greens.
The layout is characterised by attractive tree-lined holes that steer you towards quite small subtly-sloping greens. An excellent array of five par-3s await, with some sporting stylish bunker defences, and others where elevation change features. Flatter sections come at the 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th holes ... providing a respite before the significantly undulating back-nine takes over.
Pick of the holes: amongst a varied collection of five par-3s, the tough uphill 11th plays to a green with a wonderful backdrop of mature trees.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

The ancient city of Canterbury, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to a stunning 1,000 year-old cathedral, which is the seat of the Archbishop of Cantebury, the head of the Church of England. Unfortunately the cathedral has now been effectively "screened-off", so that visitors now have to pay to see even the outside of this fabulous church.
