Tee off at Pilgrims Charity Golf Day

Spend a day at this ‘hidden gem’ just outside of Canterbury city centre and make your way around this stunning 18-hole course, featured as one of the Golf World Top 100 Courses. By taking part in the Golf Day, you will be helping Pilgrims Hospices to continue delivering specialist end-of-life care in east Kent.

This top Harry Colt-designed course is set within the Kentish parkland, benefitting from stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Once you’ve enjoyed your round of golf, you will be able to relax in the clubhouse and enjoy views across the 18th hole.
