Chartham Park

A few of us were members here 20 odd years ago and we went back for a nostalgic game. The course has matured nicely and the layout has stood the test of time and I think is an excellent golf course. It was therefore a great shame that the really TERRIBLE greens rather spoiled the game. Really slow and really bumpy. They had obviously been hollow tined but nowhere near enough dressing had been put on . The greens at my course were done 3 weeks ago and are now perfect already. Shame.

Fantastic gym with excellent and friendly staff. I have been given routines that are just right and have progressed well. It is a lovely place to go. Lovely pool. Part time and over 65 memberships bring the cost down.

Great golf course. Very well kept. Coaches are also brilliant.

Great golf course well looked after. Nice club house and staff are really helpful.

Puting prices up shame not then maintaining property like they use to.

Nice course. Played in winter and played well considering wet weather. Will visit again.

Played just after a week of heavy rain and the golf course did show this but still was in very good condition. Was very impressed with the greens and the customer service was exceptional. Will be playing again

Nice gym but very busy. Bit on the expensive side but you do get everything here and its all well maintained.

Good course which is quite varied but the bunkers aren't well kept. Clubhouse is pretty good but the food could be better.

I have been a member at Chartham Park Gym for 7 years and love the variety of studio classes they offer in the evenings. The gym gets busy during seasonal peeks (New Year) but the rest of the year it provides a great place to exercise, socialise and get fit.

Recently joined and loving it! Course is normally immaculate, facilities great and a lovely community feel to the place.

Well placed golf and health club. Great facilities. Friendly staff.

Diabolical duty manager tonight , really bad feeling on the club now

I ve been a member since Dec 18 and I m so glad I joined. It s unlike any gym I ve ever been a member of. Staff are knowledgeable, genuinely care about your wellbeing and goals and the general vibe is very positive and supportive. I stopped going to other gyms due to the peacock syndrome of men looking at themselves in the mirrors. Particular thanks to the personal trainers Josh and James who have given me an excellent training routine.

Nice course. Very good condition. Modern club attached to sports club.

Excellent gym and pool. Always kept very clean and professional.

The club gives preferential rates to those in the know. Gym is good but lacking any squat/deadlift barbells.

Great gym, very friendly atmosphere and staff are very helpful and encouraging.

Whilst I am often apprehensive about courses that are younger than myself (I'm pushing 30), and concerned that they will not feel mature, traditional or have any character, there are no such worries to be had at Chartham Park Golf Club. Following two weeks of not playing and a week of course closures due to snow and frost after a cold snap, I went into my round with no expectations, and a sense of fortune and that I was just lucky to be out! Despite the fact that there were 4 temporary greens due to frost, the rest of the course was very much playable and in good condition for the time of year, especially considering the course had a layer of snow a few days prior, which still remained in a couple of shaded areas. The course itself is a modern, resort style layout, with cart paths lining the holes for those that prefer to ride rather than walk, but at no point does the course feel so modern that it feels too man-made, gimmicky or without character, as similar courses can do far too often. With plenty of water hazards, and a fair few wooded areas, there are still hazards to swallow up your ball and help you rack up a number if you go offline! My favourite holes were the Par 4 6th, with its tight tee shot, and tricky approach into the green; the Par 5 11th, which demands 2 long and straight shots to thread the needle and leave a decent pitch into the green; and finally the Par 3 17th, which can be added to my ever growing list of fantastic par 3 17th holes in the county (alongside Cottesmore GC and Dyke GC amongst others!). In summary, Chartham Park is a fantastic modern facility, which oozes class, character and charm, and I look forward to returning in the summer!

I have been a member here for 4 years.....absolutely NO regrets

The slowest golf course. Tried to give it another chance. It's just ridiculous. Give it swerve if you like a round to take less than 4 hours. The course itself is in excellent condition.

Great gym facilities with friendly and helpful instructors.

Lovely Club with some really friendly staff. Definitely recommend the gym and the Club bar, great views!

Very nice golf course offering a challenge to most golfers. Good facilities and bar and restaurant.

Really lovely course. The greens are fantastic. The course is very well laid out. The clubhouse is excellent with gym and pool.

Good golf course. Pro shop could be more professional, run by the country club reception

We organised a society golf day for June 19 and the course was excellent! Despite some heavy rain days before the greens were fast and true and the course in fantastic condition. We would go back without a second thought.

Nice club and the course is in good condition (posted during winter). Comfortable bar area.

Absolutely excellent gym. Members and staff all polite and professional people. Loads of classes. Gym area is modern and clean and rarely have to wait for a station even at peak times. Weights area is sports-people and people looking to get fit rather than take selfies in the mirror of their rippling biceps, they all go to other (cheaper) gyms fortunately. Cafe is good standard, burgers and sandwiches all freshly made. Pool area is clean and quiet (apart from when full of children but they have dedicated "family times" and "adults only". Sauna, jacuzzi and steam room all excellent.

Decent course, well laid out with not much room either side of the fairways. The first cut off rough is a bit too long which makes it difficult to find your ball and slows down play significantly

Nice course. Fairways in god condition cosidering the dry summer. A couple of tight holes on the front 9. Clubhouse is nice. Shame the entrance is shared with the gym etc.
