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.
Style and Character
The Weald of Kent strikes a balance between its primary function as a golf destination and its role as a hotel. The architecture speaks to practicality and comfort, designed to serve golfers and guests without pretension. The atmosphere is one of relaxed camaraderie, especially in the spaces dedicated to post-game reflection. Each department works in concert to ensure a professional, warm, and friendly welcome, creating an enjoyable experience that feels genuine.
Service and Facilities
The hotel's commitment to a positive guest experience is evident in its integrated approach. Staff across all departments ensure customers receive a professional, warm, and friendly welcome. For golfers, the facilities are paramount: a beautifully maintained 18-hole parkland course with significant elevations and water features. Beyond the greens, the hotel offers 35 comfortable double/twin rooms for on-site accommodation. 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. There's also ample parking for 200 cars, and a larger suite, the Lakeside Room, capable of hosting up to 100 guests for sit-down meals.

The option for junior members to enjoy unlimited golf and full use of facilities indicates a welcoming approach to younger guests. The Lakeside Room and the variety of dining options can easily accommodate family gatherings, and the relaxed atmosphere of the countryside setting provides a pleasant environment for all ages.
“The golf course views and countryside setting offer a tranquil escape, and the on-site restaurant elevates dining with its local sourcing. While some rooms might show their age, the warm staff and event spaces create a versatile destination. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking a blend of recreation and relaxation near Maidstone.”
