Faversham Golf Club - Belmont Park, Faversham, Kent

Nestling in rolling unspoilt Kent countryside Faversham is quite simply one of the loveliest golf courses in the south east of England. Complementing its beautiful surroundings Faversham has all you would expect from a long established parkland course with manicured tree lined fairways well conditioned and maintained tees and greens and imaginatively sculpted holes. The hurricane in 1987 had a devastating effect on the woodland on and surrounding the course but it has now regained its splendour. The impressive new Clubhouse built in 1997 has added to its attraction. It is an ideal course for golfers of all abilities to learn and develop their game. Indeed its challenges have set some of its members on the path to fame and fortune with former European Tour Player Roger Chapman and Solheim Cup Captain Mickey Walker both having honed their skills here.

Founded in 1902 by – according to the Club’s history book – 12 fervent disciples and 20 or so lukewarm supporters it was in June 1911 that the Club moved to its present home in Belmont Park with the land being leased to them by Lord Harris the Kent and England cricket Captain. The Club had a slightly unusual condition in the original lease which is still in force today stipulating that the golf is subject to gaming and sporting rights i.e. pheasant shoots have priority!! The Club emblem is a Cock Pheasant and despite the obvious threat to their safety many are still seen wandering the fairways
Visitors are welcome to come and enjoy a fun game of golf in these attractive and peaceful surroundings
