Feeling inspired by the Masters? Why not take on the challenge of Kent’s very own Amen Corner at Hever Castle Golf Club.
As the most recognisable three-hole stretch in golf, Amen Corner is a pivotal spot in deciding the outcome of the Masters Tournament. Amen Corner is renowned not just for its difficulty but also for its stunning beauty. The 12th hole, known as “Golden Bell,” is particularly famous for its picturesque setting and the swirling winds that challenge even the most seasoned golfers. The combination of natural beauty and strategic complexity makes this stretch a highlight of the Masters.
Our Championship Course features a trio of holes – the 11th , 12th, and 13th – that have drawn comparisons to Augusta National’s iconic stretch. Much like Augusta’s famed sequence, it features a par 4, a par 3, and then another par 4 all involving play over water, this memorable section of the course can truly make or break your round.
Dubbed Amen Corner by golfers over the years, it’s a favourite among members and visitors alike. This unforgettable run invites you to experience the thrill of playing a course worthy of the pros.
Head Pro Peter Parks commented, “It’s a lovely comparison to make because they are comparing us with three of the most famous holes in the world. They do have some similarities to the Augusta course.”
“It’s certainly a special part of the golf course and they are very memorable holes! They are tricky but it’s a nice opportunity to play some of the most picturesque holes in the county.”
Whether you’re looking to test your game, or simply enjoy a beautiful course, now is the perfect time to visit. Come and see how your game stacks up against the challenge of Hever Castle Golf Club’s Amen Corner!
