Summary:

Redlibbets Golf Club is named after the ancient woodland landscape, which is home to the course. The name is a corruption of the sixteenth century "Le Lyvet" or Leveret" - the young hare which appears in our badge. Redlibbets Golf Club was officially opened in the summer of 1997. Since then the club has gone from strength to strength, providing our members, guests and visitors with a wonderful opportunity to play the sport in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Situated within easy reach of London via the M25/M20/A20 and A2. The undulating topography has given the course architect Jonathan Gaunt the opportunity to create many impressive holes. There is something remarkable about every hole at Redlibbets. Set in over 150 acres of parkland the course boasts hundreds of mature beech, oak and chestnut trees to embrace spectacular panoramic views across rolling Kentish countryside. Redlibbets has been described as "Like a grand old course with modern greens". Many of the tees are set well above the greens and fairways and the designer, Jonathan Gaunt's strategy makes for exciting play for golfers of all abilities.

I used to be a member at Red Libbets so I've played it many times. I can understand what some other reviewers said about the greens but that problem has been addressed by completely rebuilding two of them and adding better drainage to some others which were suffering. The club is friendly and the course is a great woodland/parkland challenge - starting with a forced drive across a large pond to a fairway which is narrow and slopes right to left draining shots away into the woods. The course then winds it's way along the valley with tight tree lined fairways always causing a problem with the drive. Set out in two loops of nine the course is (now) well maintained and a good challenge, the lovely views are a bonus. The course is also pretty cheap to play (using the Open Fairways card means you can play it for £20). So get doen there and see for yourself.

I enjoyed playing here. Tee-shots have to be very accurate in places to avoid the tree lined fairways. There is some interesting holes with a excellent par 3 17th.

Had heard mixed reviews of Redlibbets but I was very impressed with both the course and the facilities. Most courses have been playing very hard with the lack of rain we've had but the fairways were lovely to play from (or at least the ones I managed to find!) The course design maximises on the natural contours of the land giving players plenty to think about. Every hole is well thought out making the most of the mature trees, bushes and the natural features and using well positioned bunkers to produce a fantastic balance of challenges and achievable good scoring for the average club golfer. If you can get a 2-4-1 offer or some sort of deal then it makes excellent value for money - well worth a visit.

A lovely course let down by the greens, 17 Jul 2008, by Pete Connon

I've played Redlibbets on many occasions (never had a good score there because of the special 'tree magnet' balls I use, must change them for another make). The course layout is great, resonably undulating, lots of room between fairways, mature trees, lots of wildlife (even a nudist camp adjoining the 12th fairway!). The only criticism would be the quality of the greens, it seems that they struggle to keep them in good shape so that at least one or two (and sometimes more) are in poor condition. A shame because it's a friendly club and the rest of the course is great.
