North Foreland Golf Club
The Main Course
The Main course comprises of four par 3, three par 5 and eleven par 4 holes. While the broad fairways instil a sense of relaxation and tee-shot confidence, don’t be fooled as strategically placed bunkers lie in wait. That all-important second shot needs careful thought, as making and holding the greens is deceptively tricky.
The 3 short par 3s look innocuous enough, but fire off line and recovery is far from easy. The eighteenth hole, which is the longest par 3 is a fine test as it requires both length and accuracy. The par 5 holes are fair and straightforward until you encounter the wind which is a major feature of our coastal course.
On average most of the par 4 holes can be reached in two, but the 8th, 9th and 17th both offer a considerable challenge and one feels successful with a bogey on each.
Enjoy your round!

Slope Panel
Hole 1 – Nor’ Ard
“What looks like an easy opening hole is deceptively difficult: Keep your tee shot left to open up the narrow and tricky green.”
| White | Par 4 | 334 Yards | SI 16 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 311 Yards | SI 16 |
| Red | Par 4 | 299 Yards | SI 16 |
Hole 2 – Banks
“A great risk and reward hole: Do you take the driver and go for the green to set up a two putt birdie, or play safe into the dip with a long iron or hybrid?”
| White | Par 4 | 274 Yards | SI 18 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 260 Yards | SI 18 |
| Red | Par 4 | 214 Yards | SI 18 |
Hole 3 – Whiteness
“A great birdie chance if you keep your tee shot to the left. The fairway slopes from left to right, so aim your second shot just inside the left hand greenside bunker.”
| White | Par 5 | 486 Yards | SI 4 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 457 Yards | SI 4 |
| Red | Par 5 | 437 Yards | SI 4 |
Hole 4 – Tongue Light
“Do you take the second fairway bunker on and drive up the left, or play it safe as a three shotter?
The swale on the right of the green will gobble up any pushed approach shots.”
| White | Par 5 | 465 Yards | SI 10 |
| Yellow | Par 5 | 471 Yards | SI 10 |
| Red | Par 5 | 441 Yards | SI 10 |
Hole 5 – Neptune
“A gentle par three: All the trouble is at the front of this deceptively small green, so take enough club.”
| White | Par 3 | 142 Yards | SI 12 |
| Yellow | Par 3 | 121 Yards | SI 12 |
| Red | Par 3 | 120 Yards | SI 12 |
Hole 6 – Harley
“A beautiful par four: Avoid the bunkers from the tee and set yourself up with a good birdie chance.
Once on the green allow a little more break from the right on this sloping green.”
| White | Par 4 | 326 Yards | SI 8 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 304 Yards | SI 8 |
| Red | Par 4 | 304 Yards | SI 8 |
Hole 7 – Digby
“Our second par three requires an accurate tee shot, as the green slopes dramatically from front to back. Three is a good score here.”
| White | Par 3 | 159 Yards | SI 14 |
| Yellow | Par 3 | 148 Yards | SI 14 |
| Red | Par 3 | 143 Yards | SI 14 |
Hole 8 – Long ‘Un
“By far the hardest hole on the front nine: Keep your tee shot to the right to allow for the fairway camber, and watch out for the fairway bunkers with your second shot.”
| White | Par 4 | 464 Yards | SI 2 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 451 Yards | SI 2 |
| Red | Par 5 | 411 Yards | SI 2 |
Hole 9 – Home
“Another long and challenging par four, the safe line is to aim at the gate in the distance with your drive, or take on the bunkers to make the second shot shorter.
Most people come up short with their approach shot so club up.”
| White | Par 4 | 454 Yards | SI 6 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 440 Yards | SI 6 |
| Red | Par 4 | 341 Yards | SI 6 |
Hole 10 – Shells
“A tough start to the back nine awaits. The fairway slopes from left to right, and the green is the most difficult on the course. Try to play your approach past the hole for an easier putt.”
| White | Par 4 | 412 Yards | SI 7 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 400 Yards | SI 7 |
| Red | Par 4 | 385 Yards | SI 7 |
Hole 11 – Hell
“A large target but there is danger if you miss the green especially long. Try to leave your ball below the hole for an easier uphill putt.”
| White | Par 3 | 142 Yards | SI 15 |
| Yellow | Par 3 | 141 Yards | SI 15 |
| Red | Par 3 | 105 Yards | SI 15 |
Hole 12 – Castle
“Ranked as the most difficult hole on the course. If you can miss all four fairway bunkers from the tee, a tough second shot awaits to a narrow green with two tiers.
Good luck as there aren’t many pars here!”
| White | Par 4 | 433 Yards | SI 3 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 419 Yards | SI 3 |
| Red | Par 5 | 417 Yards | SI 3 |
Hole 13 – Joss
“A beautiful looking downhill par four: Keep your tee shot to the right (the lighthouse is a good line).
Be careful with your approach shot, as it’s easy to run through the green.”
| White | Par 4 | 427 Yards | SI 11 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 412 Yards | SI 11 |
| Red | Par 5 | 409 Yards | SI 11 |
Hole 14 – Paradise
“It’s often difficult to believe this hole is less than 400 yards. Playing uphill back towards the clubhouse, and often into the wind,
it requires two well-struck shots to reach the green where it’s crucial to be on the right level.”
| White | Par 4 | 387 Yards | SI 1 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 371 Yards | SI 1 |
| Red | Par 4 | 352 Yards | SI 1 |
Hole 15 – Westward Ho
“The line from the tee is the clock on the clubhouse, but beware of the fairway bunker.
Once again there are two tiers on this green, which makes selecting the correct club vital.”
| White | Par 4 | 346 Yards | SI 9 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 346 Yards | SI 9 |
| Red | Par 4 | 324 Yards | SI 9 |
Hole 16 – Eastward Ho
“The longest hole on the course: Still a great birdie opportunity if you can miss the fairway bunker from the tee.
Once again the green runs away from you so try to get past the hole for an easier putt.”
| White | Par 5 | 514 Yards | SI 17 |
| Yellow | Par 5 | 502 Yards | SI 17 |
| Red | Par 5 | 496 Yards | SI 17 |
Hole 17 – Elmwood
“Another brutal par four up the hill with O.O.B. to the left: Aim at the fairway bunker on the right from the tee
and take plenty of club as you approach the green.”
| White | Par 4 | 451 Yards | SI 5 |
| Yellow | Par 4 | 441 Yards | SI 5 |
| Red | Par 5 | 382 Yards | SI 5 |
Hole 18 – Caves
“A challenging par three to finish: Be aware of the O.O.B. on the left and behind the green. Par is an excellent score here as many a card has been ruined.”
| White | Par 3 | 196 Yards | SI 13 |
| Yellow | Par 3 | 188 Yards | SI 13 |
| Red | Par 3 | 187 Yards | SI 13 |
