Cave Hotel & Golf (Formally Boughton GC)

Cave Hotel & Golf (formerly known as Boughton GC) is a pleasant, well mature parkland course with interesting holes, not flat, quite a few climbs, challenging dog legs and some blinds shots, wayfinding could be improved with better signage as many 1st time players/visitors do go wrong at certain holes, 9th or 11th and some others, There are some very tight holes, rough is thick, good fairways & tee boxes, the Greens were excellent too.

My favourite holes were the Par 3s, always welll designed & perfectly protected, either downhill, sloping or uphill, and the 18th hole, slight dog leg right, it was very interesting as the Green is situated near an area where a Wedding was taking place, God forbids if one overshoots the Green on the right!!!!!!!

Wonderful views of surrounding Kent countryside, a real escape form the hustle & bustle of West London where I live.

Easily accessible via Motorways and a small country lane at the end.

Large Car Park.

Modern Ladies changing rooms, all in the "Cave mode", so is the Clubhouse, which could have been a barn originally. Very friendly reception all around, lovely outdoor terrace with comfortable furniture, lighting & heaters (dont tell Prince Charles or Prince Willians!!!!). The terrace overlooks the 1st Tee, and the 18th Green in the distance.

There is a Par 3 Academy course, which seems very popular at all times.

Practice Chipping/Pitching,Bunkers area on the right of the first Tee, by the Buggy park with a Putting Green too.

Friendly, well stocked Proshop and very efficent & business like Manager who kindly offered me a refund as my sharing partner was unwell to attend. The Manager even came to the golf course with a buggy on our 1st round and asked me to pop in the Proshop the next morning to organise my Credit card refund.


Cave is appropriate name for the darkness darkness theme, with striking coloured lighting in every room, from reception to many lounges and bars, to the well designed saline pool. Luxury but certainly but at a price, the Penthouse Suite prices start at well over £1,000...... Food is superb, prices quite high. The rooms were sheer luxury, with all the gadgets one can imagine. Be careful to use them properly otherwise you might get locked in the shower/bathroom!!!!! (I wont name anyone!). Each room had a balcony with furniture overlooking either of the 2 courses. At night, lots of the trees have wonderful lighting, which is still seen early morning should you venture to the "C" shape saline pool, uusual in shape and concept. Actually a must visit when dark outside. I was the only one there at 6am in the morning and I had a special drink brought to me by the Reception, what a lovely gesture.....

We had a 2 days away golf with Pintetree Golf Society, my favourite TSG Society where our organiser Roger A. managed a very good deal for us all on 23rd/24th October (just before Uk fuel crisis) and also managed to organise a superb weather, How lucky we were. It was so enjoyable that we are most likely to return next year.


Highly recommend as part of a golf break.


I think I have covered most things.

so that THE END....

nice course and well maintained

starts off a bit average but once you get to the 600 yard 4th it opens up and becomes a super test of golf. slopey fairway make positioning hard but the greens are good a must play course
