First time visitors to this secluded corner of Kent will soon return, attracted not only by the quality of the course but the peace and quiet provided by a layout set in three tranquil valleys close to the ancient village of Eynsford.

You will certainly need as much peace and quiet as possible to concentrate on the challenge offered by a par 73 layout which measures a hefty 7,200 yards from the championship tees. The excellent drainage and natural chalk base ensures play all-year around.

The fairways are generously wide, but the undulating nature of the valley terrain means that you will need stamina, good course management and an imaginative touch around the greens to succeed.
