By distance from Canterbury, 2 are within 10km of the centre, 14 are 10 to 25km out and 20 are 25 to 50km out. Because these are straight-line figures, the drive is usually longer.

3 courses list a length, from 2,843 to 6,596 yards. 3 list a par, from 34 to 72. Because tees differ from club to club, treat these figures as a guide.
2 of the 36 courses have a listed founding year, from 1924 to 1931. None of them was founded before 1900. However, the rest have no year on record, so the oldest club here may be older than it looks.
The closest other city pages are Ipswich (87km), London (88km) and Brighton (99km). Courses between two cities can appear on both pages, since each page covers its own 50km circle.
Each page measures from one point in the centre of Canterbury, and a course appears only if it has a map position. As a result, a club just outside the circle is not listed here, although it may be on a neighbouring page.
