One of the best Harry Colt designed courses in England.
Canterbury Golf Club opened for play in 1927 on 160 acres of land leased from the War Office. Designed by the renowned course architect Harry Colt, the 18-hole course boasts several areas given SSSI status by Natural England.
Over many years, the original heathland nature of the course has altered with the introduction of huge expanses of trees. The resulting mature woodland, with its carpet of bluebells in spring and wide variety of wildlife all year round, make this an uplifting place to play golf.
The closure of the adjoining Howe Barracks in February 2015 enabled the golf club to buy the land on which the course stands from the Ministry of Defence. Since then, heavy investment has seen the course developed and improved, a long-term project that is still ongoing.
The course is 6,287 yards off the whites – a par 71 – and is a mix of open par 5s, tight par 4s and challenging par 3s!
Canterbury also have a driving range which provides an opportunity for non-members and novice players to improve their game or for members and regular golfers to keep their game ticking over while winter conditions restrict activity on the course.
The catering and management of the bar and restaurant facilities at Canterbury Golf Club are newly improved and enlarged.
We want the members and guests of Canterbury Golf Club to enjoy a friendly and convivial atmosphere whenever they enter the clubhouse; regardless of how they played. We also want to ensure that all visitors receive the food and service they expect for the many and varied golfing and social events that take place in a busy and vibrant club.
We offer a wide selection of locally sourced homemade food prepared in house by our experienced and highly-regarded chefs. Within the bar and restaurant, we offer breakfasts, bar snacks, lunches, buffets and formal dining.
