North Foreland Golf Course
North Foreland golf course is laid out on the cliff tops of the picturesque Kent coast overlooking the English Channel and is one of the most popular seaside golf courses in the country.
The course was originally nine holes but was extended back in 1912 and was designed by Fowler and Simpson. The main golf course at North Foreland Golf Club provides golfers of any abilities with an enjoyable round and although the fairways are fairly exposed which means that when the wind is up, you must hit accurately in order to score well, the fairways are quite wide which gives you extra room for error. With beautiful panoramic views from each and every tee and green, North Foreland golf course is a free running chalk downland course and is widely considered to be Kent’s premier all year-round course to play. The two sets of nine holes play very differently with the opening nine softening you up for the back nine which are far more exposed to the weather conditions! Although the course is not long at 6,436 yards, it can be very challenging especially as the holes often look forgiving. This is an underrated course and one that is fast running and challenging.
