Hythe Golf Club

Hythe Golf Club occupies a coastal position in the Cinque Port town of Hythe, running between the English Channel and the Royal Military Canal. At 5,721 yards with a Standard Scratch of 69, the layout suits golfers of all abilities while still offering a genuine test. The course plays across 12 greens, with seven used twice from alternative tee positions — a clever design that fits an 18-hole, near-6,000-yard layout into a compact parcel of flat land. The card breaks down as five par threes, nine par fours, and four par fives, with several elevated tees adding variety to the otherwise level terrain. Bushes, small trees, and challenging rough punish wayward shots, while the Royal Military Canal along the northern boundary brings its own hazard into play. The greens and fairways have drawn particular praise for their quality, and views across the English Channel to France are a constant backdrop throughout the round.
