Ramsgate sits at the eastern tip of the Thanet peninsula in Kent — one of England's most historically loaded stretches of coastline, where chalk cliffs, North Sea light, and a long maritime past define the landscape. This corner of the county isn't traditional links country in the pure Open Championship sense, but the coastal exposure and firm, fast-draining ground give courses here a distinctly seaside character that inland golf rarely replicates.
Stonelees is a par-72 parkland layout on the outskirts of town, offering straightforward, accessible golf in a setting shaped by Kent's rolling agricultural terrain. Without the elevated status of a private members' club or a resort destination, it functions as a genuine community course — the kind of place where local golfers build their games and visitors can get a round in without fuss or ceremony.
Kent's golf scene punches well above its weight for a county its size, with everything from classic downland tests to coastal links within easy reach. Stonelees sits comfortably within that regional tradition as an everyday option for golfers exploring the far eastern edge of England.
