century and is the heart of the golf club.

HistoryThe county of Kent is perhaps the most fortunate in

southern England in the variety and quality of its golf courses.

Chestfield, with its historic connections and attractive layout

and its reputation for a warm friendly welcome, is well worth

a visit. Chestfield Manor is mentioned in the Domesday

Book as a gift of William the Conqueror to his half brother

Bishop Odo. It lies on the route taken by pilgrims to the

shrine of Thomas Becket and was known even then as a

place of rest and hospitality. In that respect, little has changed

to this day. The present building dates from the 15th century

and has been carefully and lovingly restored to provide an

attractive beamed lounge bar, a small but cosy Spike Bar and

a restaurant overlooking the 18th green and fairway.

The thatched timber cowsheds to the south now house

the thriving junior section and the administrative offices.

A purpose-built modern changing room and a well-stocked

professional’s shop have been tastefully added. The course

itself is, not surprisingly, of more recent vintage. Its location in

the triangle of land formed by the coastal resorts of Whitstable

and Herne Bay and the cathedral city of Canterbury affords

wonderful views over the Thames Estuary and the Swale.

Construction of the course, originally known as Shrub Hill,

began shortly after the First World War at the instigation

of George Reeves, a local builder. He commissioned two

well-known professionals, James Braid – five times Open

Champion – and Abe Mitchell to design the course which


was opened for play on 16th April 1924.

Some of Abe Mitchell’s clubs are still on display in the

clubhouse.

In 1938, the club was purchased by millionaire ship owner

Jack Billmeir, a local boy. When he died in 1963, the course

and buildings were acquired by the members. Since then,

the course has improved beyond recognition, culminating

in the club hosting the Kent County Championship in 1993,

when it was won by a local member, Graham Brown, and

more recently the Kent County Junior Championship in

2007. Changes have been made to the original design over

the years with the most recent arising from the rerouting of

the A299 Thanet Way. The road was channelled through

a purpose-built cut-and-cover tunnel, 400 metres in length.

The new layout, designed by the internationally renowned

golf architect Donald Steel and comprising six new greens,

was opened in June 2000. It is generally agreed that the

improved layout, which has an SSS of 70 for men and 72

for ladies, is an excellent test of golf. It retains the historic

character of Chestfield, undulating fairways and greens

and magnificent views, while incorporating modern design

features and materials.

The CourseAt Chestfield you are afforded an excellent round of golf,

matched only by the clubhouse hospitality. The course suits

golfers of all abilities but with it being a hilly course, will

challenge even the most seasoned of golfers. The course

is easily walkable but for those wanting to reserve energy,

buggies are available for hire. The most attractive part of

the course is undoubtedly the area comprising the first and

eighteenth holes, set in the centre of the village near the

Oast House.

The most testing part of the course lies on Shrub Hill

overlooking the sea, where golfers will find much to interest

and challenge them, not least the new 553-yard second hole.

Other less demanding holes are more subtle in character

and offer substantial rewards to the more cautious golfer.

Take the Course TourPlan ahead for your visit to Chestfield and make the most

of your round with our course map and hole descriptions.

You can also read the helpful tips from our Head

Professional David Ledingham.

Hole 1, 381 yards, par 4

A reasonably gentle opener but with a few teeth. Be aware

of the small pond to the right and, in the summer, of driving

through the fairway. If you can find the centre of the fairway

then you have a relatively simple mid iron into a flat green.


A monster off the back tee, particularly into the wind.

Loads of trouble off the tee so your best is needed. Think

about a shorter club off the tee, especially if you won’t

reach. Be aware of the very long green. You will need more

than you think to get back to the flag – and don’t miss right!


Another difficult hole. A draw off the tee is ideal but

otherwise aim left as the fairway will throw your ball down

to the right rough. The green can be hard to find and again

plays a bit longer than you think. Make sure you’re up or the

front bunker will get you!

chest_10873_redeaglerecruitmentspecialists_proof.pdf 1 11/06/2014 11:41:21


Take the Course Tour Continued


Only short but never easy playing uphill. Play for the centre

of the green and this time don’t go left! Don’t miss the

amazing views from the green!


Great hole. A little cut off the tee is ideal as the fairway

runs everything to the left. Then the fun starts. A two-tier

green with slopes front left and back and a deep bunker left

means your approach needs to be good.


Drive as close to the left as you dare as the fairway throws

everything hard right. Be aware of the bunker to the left of

the green as it is invisible from the fairway.


This hole is why you bought a course guide! A sharp dog leg

right means either a hard cut off the tee or a straight mid-

iron to hold a fairway sloping away from you. Beware the

internal out of bounds to the right! Then beware a severely

sloping green from right to left that will catch out most with

long putts. A par here is excellent.



No, it’s not a par 4! Difficult at the best of times as it’s

always a long club. If you go right into the trees then you

are probably reloading so your best is needed!

Hole 9, 282 yards par 4

A little relief now! Driveable for the big hitters but still not

easy as the green is tiny and has bunkers short and right. A

definite birdie opportunity.


As the 9th, but with a few more problems. Big hitters can

get there but the ditch left and right can catch you. Lay-ups

need to be short enough to go over the trees left and right

in case you are slightly wayward.


Play it straight and the length is not a problem. A definitely

reachable par 5. Still some trouble if you are wayward but

this is one to go for.


Take the Course Tour Continued


A strong par 3. An elevated green means you can easily

run off. It is also longer than you think and getting back is

difficult. A solid shot for the centre is a sound play. The half-

way (two-thirds?) house may help if this one gets you!


Out of bounds right and trouble left – be straight! An easy

second awaits but make sure you find the fairway.


A tough hole. Uphill all the way and then a treacherous

green that slopes hard from back to front. Try not to go

past the flag – you’ll find out why.


A huge drop to the fairway makes this tee shot very inviting

but don’t lose it right. Approach shots are tricky as the

distance is deceptive and the green slopes hard from right

to left. Again, enjoy the views from the tee out to the wind

farm. Believe it or not they are eight miles away!



Not long but the green is surrounded by sand. Beware the

green which slopes from right to left.


Plenty of trouble if you go wide from the tee but try to

keep to the left side. An accurate tee shot leaves a difficult

uphill second to a multi-tiered green with deep sand to the

right. Not long but a strong hole.


A reasonably friendly short par 4 welcomes you back to the

clubhouse. A good drive up the right-hand side, or over the

bunker for the longer hitters, will leave a short approach

to the relatively flat green. Try not to bomb the veranda

behind though!

whole of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is easy to see

why it is so popular as a venue for societies and green fees

throughout the year.


CateringThe catering here at Chestfield is held in as high a regard as the golf thanks to Gary Jefferies of Supreme Cuisine.

Gary is a graduate of The Royal Naval School of Cookery and has more than 25 years’ experience in the catering industry. Having served for nine years in the Royal Navy, travelling around most of the world, experiencing different cultures, methods of cookery and using an exotic variety of ingredients, he decided it was time to settle on dry land.

He spent the next 19 years at The King’s School, Canterbury, as Head Chef and then Executive Head Chef. Here Gary orchestrated the day-to-day catering for one of the most prestigious schools in England and also produced quality

cuisine for events and functions ranging from small private dinner parties and weddings to corporate entertaining including banquets for Heads of State, royalty and celebrities.

Gary has been at Chestfield Golf Club since 2011 and not only provides day to day bar snacks but has also catered the club’s events with tremendous success.

Golf Professional Sara Alton and husband Mick, a member, were thrilled with the catering Gary provided for their wedding. They said: “Our wedding food by Gary was absolutely perfect. The food was beautifully presented and on time and full of flavour and colour... we were so happy with him and his staff... he is a credit to Chestfield Golf Club.”

in technology with the Ipad, which is revolutionising the way

golf is taught. Instant split-screen video analysis is available,

comparing your swing side-by-side with the world’s leading

golfers and have your swing emailed to you as a memory aid

for when you take to the practice ground.

Our Pros can turn any weaknesses you have into strengths,

can tighten up your short game and even improve your

course management skills to save you shots if you opt for an

on-course playing lessons.

Individual and group lessons are available seven days a week

for all ages and abilities and healthy discounts are given if you

Opening Times


Junior AcademyChestfield has introduced scores of youngsters to the game of

golf in recent years thanks to our successful Junior Academy.

Run by our dedicated team of PGA-qualified professionals,

the Academy runs a ‘roll-up’ group lesson for young

beginners on a Saturday morning from 10am to 11am. Ages

range between 5 and 13 and all are very welcome.

More advanced programmes are made available to these

juniors as they progress. This gives them a good grounding in

technique and course management and, just as importantly,

an understanding of the etiquette of golf and the rules of

the game. Learning sound fundamentals at such an early age

means years of frustration later in life can be avoided!

Each child receives a folder and certificates as they pass

each section which really drives them on. There are also

courses during holidays that give youngsters even more time

to improve.

If you have any questions or would like to book please call

the Pro Shop on 01227 793563

At the end of the rainbow, there’s a great place to be for all the small pets,

in your family.
