Leeds Castle Golf Club
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.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
