Westgate & Birchington Golf Club

Easily found off a main road, limited car parking at an adjacent car park. Smallish pro shop. Character built clubhouse. Friendly staff.
Course is shortish, greens quite slick despite looking a bit fluffy. Tricky reading though and made more complex by winds. Course split over residential road with holes 2 onward on the seaward side, exposed to the elements. Fairways just showing a bit of winter/ water wear so ground was claggy and muddy.
No particularly feature holes typical links feel, very few blind holes.
Breakfast was traditional and enjoyable.

Worth a second visit, in the summer, perhaps as part of a coastal Kent trip (probably better to incoporate with a seaside weekend).

Nothing too exacting and a nice stroll not too exhausting.

Played in October. The course was in good condition. Its a bit up and down with a lot of par threes but don't let that put you off.

A few holes are played by the sea and some of the par threes have lovely greens with beautifully maintained surrounding areas.

My only criticism would be the sand in the bunkers.Its very grey, grainy and compact. I've never seen sand like it in any bunkers anywhere.
