Westerham Golf Club
Operated by The Altonwood Group, which was until recently owned by the late Ron Noades, the former Crystal Palace Football Club chairman, the course at Westerham Golf Club is a par 72 layout measuring 6,305 yards from the tips which is set in mature woodland with magnificent views across the North Kent Downs.
Opened in the late 1990s, the original eighteen holes at Westerham were designed by respected architect David Williams, who has been involved in over two hundred completed golf projects, with direct involvement in more than thirty new 18-hole courses in Great Britain and Europe. Williams returned in 2016 to add the new Churchill 9-hole par three course.
The main layout at Westerham is built through Valence Wood, with nine holes routed through woodland and the other nine laid out in a more open landscape which is enhanced by four lakes and extensive new planting. The “signature hole” is the par three 11th, played downhill through a chute of trees to a small green that’s protected to the front and left by sand.
