Wildernesse Club: this testing and enjoyable parkland course, located just below the village of Seal, is consistently rated amongst the top courses in the county of Kent. The layout's main defences lie in its handsomely tree-lined fairways and undulating greens. Straight driving and paying attention to the well-placed bunkers will serve you well here.
At just over 6,500 yards from the tips, the course lays down a test of shot-making, rather than distance. That it still remains difficult to beat par, is a tribute to the original design, which has stood the test of time for decades. With the exception of two new holes created in 1969 (the par-4 16th and 17th holes), the layout has remained relatively unchanged over the past 60 years.
