Leeds Castle

The course at Leeds Castle Golf Club dates back to the early 1930s, when the then owner of the Leeds Castle estate, Lady Baillie, engaged the golf course design firm Links and Courses (consisting of Cecil Hutchison, Guy Campbell and S.V. Hotchkin) to set out nine holes.

The largely tree-lined layout is set on around sixty-five parkland acres to the west of Leeds Castle, a visually the spectacular fortification that sits on an island, surrounded by a lake formed by a dammed portion of the Riven Len as it heads west towards the River Medway.

In recent years, a new par four 6th hole was introduced along the edge of the Castle moat, together with the extension of the 9th to a par four. Other feature holes include left veering short par fours at both the 3rd and the 9th, where a pond protects the front of the green on the latter.
