About Wildernesse Club

Wildernesse Club is a private members' golf club at Sevenoaks in Kent that also accepts visitor play on designated terms. Founded in 1890, its 18-hole parkland course measures 6,539 yards from the White tees and plays to par 72. The identity of the professional who laid out the original course has been lost, but five-time Open champion and architect James Braid later made significant alterations, including creation of the par-3 fifth hole, which entered play in 1929.

Two further holes, the present 16th and 17th, were created in 1969. The course is characterised by mature woodland, tree-lined playing corridors and relatively small, undulating greens. Wildernesse has been recognised by The R&A as an Open Championship Regional Qualifying venue and has hosted England Golf and Kent county events.

Origins

Wildernesse was founded in 1890. The club's own history records that the identity of the professional responsible for the original layout is unknown.

Development

James Braid later made a number of alterations, most notably a new par-3 fifth hole that came into play in 1929. The present 16th and 17th holes were added in 1969, while much of the remainder of the routing has remained comparatively stable.

Recognition

The R&A has used Wildernesse as an Open Regional Qualifying venue, and the club has also hosted England Golf and county competition.

Today

Wildernesse remains a private members' club while providing controlled visitor access and published green fees.
