Playing Golf at Lullingstone Park: Green Fees, Tee Booking and Everything a Visitor Needs to Know

If you are planning a round, the first things to sort out are Lullingstone Park golf green fees and a tee time. Lullingstone Park is a public, pay-and-play course on the edge of Lullingstone Country Park near Chelsfield in Kent, open to visitors and non-members without the need to join a club. This guide pulls together everything a first-time visitor needs: the two courses, how green fees work, how to book a tee time, the cheapest times to play, and what to expect on the day.

Because it is run as a pay-and-play venue, you can turn up as a casual golfer, book online or by phone, and play either the full 18-hole course or the shorter 9-hole layout. Everything below links to a more detailed guide if you want to dig into one part of the visit.

The two courses at Lullingstone Park

Lullingstone Park has two courses sharing the same parkland setting. The 18-hole championship course is the main test, a mature parkland layout with established trees and rolling fairways that suits a full round. The 9-hole valley course is shorter and quicker, ideal for a half-day, a practice round, beginners, or an evening when the light is short. Most visitors choose based on time and confidence on the day. For a side-by-side comparison, see our guide to the 18-hole championship course versus the 9-hole valley course.

How green fees work

A green fee is simply the price of one round for a visitor. At a pay-and-play course like Lullingstone Park, the fee depends on which course you play (18 or 9 holes), whether it is a weekday or a weekend, and the time of day you tee off. Weekends and peak morning slots are dearest; weekday and later slots are cheaper. Pay-and-play fees are reviewed from time to time, so always confirm the current price on the official green fees page rather than relying on an old figure. If you expect to play regularly, ask about season tickets or loyalty options, which can work out cheaper than paying each visit.

How to book a tee time

Booking a tee time reserves your slot so you are not turned away on a busy morning. You can usually book online through the course's tee-booking system or by phone, choosing your course, date, time and number of players. Weekends and summer evenings fill fastest, so book ahead for those; midweek you can sometimes turn up and play, though reserving is always safer. For the full step-by-step, see our guide on how to book a tee time at Lullingstone Park.

The cheapest times to play

If value matters more than the exact time, there are several ways to pay less. Weekday rounds are cheaper than weekends, later slots cost less than peak mornings, and twilight rates from a set time each afternoon are among the best value of all. The 9-hole course is also a cheaper way to get a round in. Our guides to the cheapest times to play and green-fee savings and to twilight golf in Kent cover every way to keep the cost down.

What to expect on the day

Arrive with enough time to check in at the clubhouse, pay or confirm your booking, and warm up before your tee time. Standard golf dress is expected, and buggies and trolleys can usually be hired subject to availability and ground conditions. The course is at Parkgate Road, Chelsfield, Kent BR6 7PX, on the edge of Lullingstone Country Park, with parking on site. If it is your first visit, our guide for first-time visitors covering dress code, buggies and directions walks through the practical details.

Groups, societies and pay-and-play

Lullingstone Park welcomes casual pay-and-play golfers as well as organised groups. If you are arranging a society or group day, packages can include reserved tee times and catering, so it is worth enquiring in advance. See our guides to society and group golf days and to playing as a pay-and-play visitor. To start planning your round, head to the Lullingstone Park golf homepage.
