Mid Kent Golf Club

The clubhouse sits on elevated ground with genuine views across the Medway Valley - you'll understand why golfers keep coming back once you're standing on the first tee. Mid Kent Golf Club is a members' course, so unless you're affiliated or can arrange a visitor round through a member, you won't be playing here yourself. That said, if you're staying at Thamesview Camping or Badgells Wood Camping nearby and fancy a proper golf break, it's worth ringing ahead to ask about guest rates.

The course plays to a respectable par 70 and winds through mature woodland and open parkland. It's not a links course - more inland English golf, which means it's playable year-round without turning into a bog. Membership is required, but the club does accept visitors occasionally, particularly midweek when it's quieter.

Seriously keen golfers will find it satisfying; the layout rewards straight hitting and there's enough variation to keep you engaged for a full round. Meopham is the nearest town, just a few miles away, which makes it convenient if you're basing yourself in the area for a golfing holiday.

If you're not a golfer yourself, there's not much to do here beyond watching. The clubhouse has a bar and restaurant, and members often linger over a pint after their round, but casual visitors won't find it a destination in its own right. Ring them directly on the details above to check current visitor policies - these change seasonally and depending on membership uptake.
