About Leeds Castle Golf Club

Leeds Castle Golf Club is a nine-hole, par-34 course measuring 2,843 yards on the Leeds Castle estate in Kent. Its origins date to 1931, when Lady Baillie commissioned Sir Guy Campbell, Cecil Hutchison and Stafford Hotchkin to create a course as part of the wider estate landscape. A specific design requirement was that bunkers should not be visible from the Castle and that golf features should not disrupt its skyline.

The course remains open for public pay-and-play golf as well as memberships. Current published fees distinguish nine- and 18-hole play, with an 18-hole round consisting of two circuits of the nine-hole course. Facilities include a pro shop, coaching and equipment hire.

The course is a 9-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 34, 2,843 yards. Designed by Sir Guy Campbell and Cecil Key Hutchison and S. V. Hotchkin, the course originally opened in 1931. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro shop, Golf academy, Club hire, Trolley hire, Junior Membership, Restaurant, Terrace, Lodge.

Origins

Lady Baillie began development of the course in 1931 as part of a broader reshaping of the Leeds Castle estate landscape.

Did You Know?
Lady Baillie's architects were instructed that no bunkers should be visible from the Castle.

Design Philosophy

Sir Guy Campbell, Cecil Hutchison and Stafford Hotchkin were asked to create golf without compromising the Castle's principal views. Bunkers were to remain out of sight from the Castle and flagsticks were not to interrupt important skyline views.

Today

The original concept survives as a nine-hole, par-34 estate course open to members and pay-and-play visitors.
