West Kent Golf Club | Orpington, United Kingdom

Andy, the organiser, has put together a heartfelt message for the sports community about West Kent Golf Club.

Andy wants everyone to know that West Kent Golf Club, nestled in the scenic area of Orpington, is a private members' club with a rich history dating back to 1916. It’s located between Downe Village and Down House and embodies the true spirit of golf with traditions of etiquette, courtesy, and friendship.

The course opens every day at 8am, though in winter, temperatures can dip to around 4°C. During these colder months, trolleys and buggies aren’t allowed, so players will need to carry their bags. Winter rules are in effect to keep the game fair and the course in top shape. The club ensures everyone stays informed about course conditions with regular updates.

For those planning an event, Andy highlights that West Kent Golf Club is well-prepared to host various functions, from corporate events to weddings. The restaurant can seat up to 130 people for a meal or 150 for a buffet, all with top-notch service and quality.

Membership at West Kent Golf Club is open for those looking for both social and competitive play. Full members should have some golfing experience, but for newcomers, the Invicta Membership programme is ideal. Andy mentions that the club strives to build camaraderie through many opportunities to connect and compete.

The Pro Shop, open every day, is the heartbeat of the club's daily activities. Staffed by a team of PGA Professionals, they offer expert advice and lessons for golfers of all skill levels. A custom club fitting service is also available to ensure everyone has the best gear for their game.

Andy encourages those interested in learning more or visiting to get in touch. West Kent Golf Club is located at Milking Lane, Downe, Kent, England, BR6 7LD. They can be contacted by phone at 01689 851323 or email at golf@wkgc.co.uk.
