Westerham Golf Club

Westerham Golf Club sits in the North Downs of Kent, just south of the town of Westerham and within easy reach of London. The course occupies rolling countryside characteristic of this part of southeast England, where chalk downland creates natural elevation changes and wooded valleys. D. Williams designed the layout, though detailed records of the architect and the club's founding period are not widely documented in major golf architecture references. The course plays across undulating terrain that takes advantage of the natural topography. The routing moves through a mix of open parkland and tree-lined corridors, with several holes offering views across the Kentish landscape. The elevation changes provide variety in shot-making and create natural strategic interest, particularly where doglegs follow the contours of the land or approach shots must be judged to greens set at different levels from the fairways. Westerham serves primarily as a members' club for the local community and golfers from the surrounding region. The course provides a traditional English club golf experience in a rural setting, with the clubhouse and grounds reflecting the character of a well-established Kent golf club. The layout offers a straightforward test of golf suited to regular play, without the championship length or severe hazards found at major tournament venues, but with enough variety in hole design to maintain interest across the full eighteen holes.
