WEALD OF KENT GOLF COURSE AND HOTEL
About the Castle Hotel
Weald of Kent Golf Course and Hotel, Maidstone - An Unfolding Landscape of Leisure
This is more than just a picturesque golf course; the Weald of Kent Golf Course and Hotel presents a comprehensive leisure experience set within rolling Kent countryside. Its reputation is built on meticulously maintained parkland fairways, challenging elevations, serene lakes, and strategically placed hazards, offering a rewarding game for golfers of all levels. The hotel itself complements this, providing comfortable on-site accommodation and a welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for a dedicated golf break.
Location
Situated in the heart of Kent, the hotel offers far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside, a constant reminder of its pastoral setting. While specific landmarks are a short drive away - including Sutton Valence Castle and Leeds Castle, both within a 2.5 km to 7 km radius - the true allure lies in its secluded, bucolic environment. It's a place where the landscape itself becomes a key feature, inviting exploration and relaxation away from the urban rush, approximately 80 km from London City.

Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the varied class offerings, including Power HIIT, Step and Pump, Express Pump, Pilates, and resistance band training, all designed to cater to different needs and fitness levels.
