About The Area
Tonbridge is a practical Kent base for a relaxed golf break, especially for golfers who want a market-town stay with easy access to Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Maidstone and the Kent countryside. Gatwick is the closest major airport, with Rome2Rio listing it at 19.1 miles from Tonbridge, while road-distance sources put the journey closer to the low-to-mid 30-mile range.
The main local golf option is Poult Wood Golf Course, based in Tonbridge. It offers both 9-hole and 18-hole golf, plus a driving range, making it useful for societies, beginners, mixed-ability groups and relaxed short breaks.
Away from the fairways, Tonbridge has a strong heritage hook. Tonbridge Castle sits in the heart of town and is described by Visit Kent as one of the finest examples of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle, set beside the River Medway. The River Medway also adds easy walking and boat-trip appeal, with Tonbridge River Trips offering guided cruises and rowing boats during its season.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Tonbridge works best as a Kent golf weekend, society base or easy short break combining golf, castle history, riverside walks and nearby Tunbridge Wells.
