Staplehurst Park Golf Club

Staplehurst Park Golf Club takes its name from Staplehurst, a village in the Weald of Kent set among the farmland and orchards typical of this part of the county, between Maidstone and the Tunbridge Wells area. The wider Weald landscape here is characterised by gently undulating countryside, hedgerowed fields and pockets of woodland, the kind of terrain that has provided the setting for a number of golf courses across Kent. Staplehurst itself sits on the rail line between London and the Kent coast, giving the village and its surrounding area reasonable transport links despite its rural character. A golf club in this setting draws on the quiet, agricultural feel of the Weald, offering golfers a course away from the busier, more built-up parts of the county. For local golfers in and around Staplehurst, the club provides a facility within easy reach without needing to travel into Maidstone or further afield for a round. The surrounding villages and countryside of this part of Kent, known for fruit growing and traditional farming alongside newer residential development, give the area a settled, semi-rural character that frames the course's immediate surroundings within this stretch of the Kent Weald.
