Three of a Kind: Golf Courses in Kent
Outdoor Activities | Pub Accommodation | Posted 2021.09.02
Our Three of a Kind series looks at a trio of pub stays with one common feature and provides unique inspiration for a trip away. This week, our focus is on three pubs near prestigious golf courses in Kent.
Kent is home to over 80 golf courses, all of which boast picturesque views of the county’s rolling landscape or coastline. Kent is best known for some of the UK’s premier championship links on the east coast trail, offering a range of parkland, downland and inland layouts, which are surrounded by lush green and tranquil settings.
For those planning a golf break, we have put together three pubs with rooms, close to major golf courses in Kent.
The Duke William, Ickham, Kent
This wonderfully cosy pub is a 30-minute drive to Princes Golf Club, on the east coast of the country. The prestigious golf club boasts 27 holes of championship links in three 9-hole loops: The Shore, The Dunes and The Himalayas. The coastal terrain and seaside breeze, together with the 97 revetted bunkers make for challenging golf.
The Duke William has four stylish bedrooms; each named after a favourite culinary hero and made to feel like another home from home for guests. Before a day out on the course, enjoy one of the pub’s hearty full English or Continental breakfasts.
