The course architect, David Williams, made excellent use of the natural features and gently undulating topography to create a course that has quickly established itself as one of the best golfing challenges in Kent.

The course is characterised by traditional links turf, carries over heather and rough to narrow, fast running fairways and beautifully sculptured greens full of character and deceptive slopes. The course enjoys an excellent free draining geology and coupled with full USGA specification greens and tees makes it the driest inland course in all of Kent whatever the time of year.
