North Foreland Golf Club

Convent Road

Broadstairs, Thanet, Kent, CT10 3PU

Tel: 01843 862140

North Foreland is a deceptively difficult course, seemingly forgiving because of its open nature on high ground overlooking the sea. Because they play uphill, the 8 th, 17 th and 18 th are particularly demanding each about 450 yards long. Two of the short holes, the 14 th and 16 th, are very attractive, playing towards the sea.

18 holes 6430 yards par 71

Approximately 16 miles from the Royal.
