Tour The Course

Prepare for your visit to Bearsted by familiarising yourself with each hole over the coming pages and make the most of your round with our hole-by-hole guide. You can prepare yourself for the challenges that await, as well as pick up some invaluable playing tips from our PGA Professional.

Hole 1 (Railway) 143 yards, par 3 Our course starts with a short par three with a difficult green sloping down from the bank on the left. Watch out for the railway.

Hole 2 (Old School) 345 yards, par 4 A difficult blind drive on this straight par four hole, with out of bounds on the left and trouble waiting in the trees on the right.

Hole 3 (Sir George Hampson) 464 yards, par 4 A very long left-to-right dogleg hole which is difficult to reach in two shots, especially with two fairway bunkers waiting to catch out your second shot.

Hole 4 (Honeyhill Woods) 439 yards, par 4 A good drive will leave you well placed to reach the green with your second shot. However, mind the ditch and out of bounds on the right.

Hole 5 (The Shaw) 364 yards, par 4 A straight fairway to the green, but with a ditch hazard to the right.

Hole 6 (The Hump) 516 yards, par 5 A long par five sloping from left to right, with longer grass and small ditch strategically placed to help stop your ball from going into the woods - surprisingly, on the right again.

Hole 7 (Up And Over) 400 yards, par 4 A right to left dogleg to the green located in the valley, where the trees to the left often block out a second shot to the green.

Hole 8 (Downs View) 162/211 yards, par 3 This par three involves a tee shot across a valley to the well-guarded green.

Hole 9 (Halfway) 383 yards, par 4 This very inviting hole is frequently used for the longest drive competitions, but be careful. Out of bounds awaits a loose tee shot to the left, as does the pond on the right.

Hole 10 (Twin Oaks) 295 yards, par 4 A relatively short par four with the green just beyond the two tall trees in the distance.

Hole 11 (Centenary Bridge) 371 yards, par 4 A dogleg right with a very inviting tee shot down the hill, and over the stream and bridge. Beware of the ponds either side of the fairway.

Hole 12 (Water Meadow) 401 yards, par 4 A good straight drive is called for on this very long par 4 hole, with trouble again waiting for a loose tee shot to the right and the pond on the right for the long hitters.

Hole 13 (Birling House) 508 yards, par 5 A long straight tee shot is needed on this par five which bends to the left. Strategically placed bunkers await each shot from tee to green.

Hole 14 (Reservoir) 371 yards, par 4 A tee shot to a wide open fairway sloping from left to right where a ditch and bunker often catch out the unaware. A second shot which strays into the ditch across the fairway is rarely rewarded with a playable third shot.

Hole 15 (Seager Way) 526 yards, par 5 A ditch across the fairway is in range for the long hitters, and the green is located at the top of the hill on this long par five.

Hole 16 (Chapel Lane) 179 yards, par 3 A short par three with a tee shot to the green at the bottom of the hill.

Hole 17 (Brickfield) 386 yards, par 4 A long drive back up the hill again, where a shot to the right of centre is needed to avoid being blocked out by the trees to the left.

Hole 18 (Sandy Mount) 174 yards, par 3 Our course finishes with a straight downhill par three where the valley in front of the green catches out many players.
