Brands Hatch.

golf and a spa you have hotels such as the
Marriott Tudor Park, Bearsted near Maidstone or
Eastwell Manor near Ashford, which are the ideal
choices if you want everything in one place. Even the picturesque Leeds
Castle has its own parkland course set against the backdrop of the medieval
castle and the moat and has many attractive water hazards. Hever Castle
also has an excellent 27-hole parkland course.
Ashford Golf Club has a tie up with guests staying at the Ashford
International Hotel where they can get 30% off green fees.

of different courses to choose from.
