Lovely course with plenty of practice areas to prepare for your game. Love the wedge range and massive chipping/putting areas too. Course is in an emaculate condition, and the greens are very fast. Beware of false fronts and slopes of greens though. These can be sloping front, back, left and right towards rough or bunkers. Often taking an extra club away from these run offs is key to avoid getting beaten up by the excellent layout.Members all friendly and helpful as were the staff, nice halfway house with friendly staff who were chatty and a pleasure to see half way round. Well worth a visit if you can when guests are allowed. I was lucky enough to play a matchplay against the home side here. Also amazing views when at the top of the course.

Always a top course and now moving towards greatness.A marvellous test of golf that is now showing some class. Tees all good most fairways very good and all greens superb and very challenging. Bunkers are proper top course quality, properly raked to give you a chance.Give it a bit more time to mature and it’ll be on a great number of golfers wish list.Btw great views of London too.

Really exceeded expectations – modest start with generous fairways but tricky greens then developed into a very scenic tactical challenge with several memorable holes. Add panoramic views of London and very friendly staff it made for an excellent afternoon.

Now this place is special for all golfers, beautiful holes and views from all over the course. This is going to be special in 5 years with all the work that’s going on. Members will be loveing this once it’s all completed

Great nick, very tough though especially around the greens. First time back since they’ve taken all the trees out, looks great.

What a beautiful golf course, I played with a member, and off the white tee, every single hole is challenging, I played off a single handicap, but find it hard to score, the green is magnificent but tricky, if your ball is in the heather, it’s so difficult to get the ball out, love to come back and challenge this course again.

Excellently maintained grass and greens running true. It’ll be something special once they finish the refurbs.

A very welcoming experience from the professional staff explaining how the course is changing and the future plans a tough but enjoyable course

It was a really good day, good full English breky. Course has changed a lot, difficult to say if it’s for the better. Lots of trees removed, I mean lots. I want to go back soon.

Lots of work being undertaken at the moment. An old hole has been found amongst the trees cut down. A site for a new clubhouse has been found and views to the city of London are beautiful. The foresight of the current owner seems to align perfectly with the original course architect. Large greens, wide fairways, a great test of golf. Don’t let the par 69 fool you. This course can bite back as quick as look at you. Worth a try now, when it’s completed, you won’t be able to book a time or join as it will be full.

JC Mustill

06:09 13 Jun 23

Wow. Haven’t played many courses in the UK like this. Almost every hole could be their signature hole. Very undulating, various holes with plenty to think about in a stunning location with views over London. Lots of work ongoing but shows they invest and take the future of the club seriously. Worth the green fees!

Always comes up asking for a review only because I cut the grass in a property on the other side of club entrance

The course was in first class condition. Lovely fairways and greens were a joy to putt on. Great breakfast as well.

A friend and I had a splendid round of golf at ‘The Addington’ a couple of weeks ago during the week. They are undertaking a huge amount of work on the course…none of which hindered or detracted from the round. This was clearly explained in pro shop.The course was a delight and the greens in excellent condition. If you didn’t know…you could have been forgiven for thinking you were playing ‘Queens’ at Gleneagles instead of being in South London. A delight..I look forward to going back.

I was fortunate to play The Addington in 2019 during a golf trip through London and southeast England. Immediately the quality of the design was recognizable even though the course was overgrown and the fairways had very little grass. I have followed the plans of the current owner and am very excited for the club. It is in very good hands. As an American I only wish I lived closer so I could join. The Addington is golden age design at its best. I can’t wait to visit again and see the course as Colt and Abercrombie intended.

Nick Rivers

The investment is starting to pay off, was a pile of poo 5 years ago but at £125 a head the green fees are way way too high for this area. No wonder it’s always empty!

Duncan Hood

9 holes good for practice, 18 holes 2 of them , one of normal another long course 👍🏼

Fantastic day up at the Addington. Course played superbly despite it being mid-February.One thing I’d note is all the staff were incredibly friendly. From the club-shop where we were given a mini-briefing on the story of the club, the work being carried out and the ambitions to the future, through to the half-way house. A credit to the club.Though the highlight has to be my friend managing to duff his tee shot on the par-3 17th so badly is whacked off the bridge straight up into the air, finding its way onto the green. I only wish i’d been filming!Would definitely come back again.

This is a decent course and has improved since new course manager has come in. Fairways are in better condition and the green speeds are more sensible.Have visited a number of times and find the pro in the shop a little rude and disinterested in me. Not sure what ive done to put him off.Food and service in bar is top draw and a must after a round.

Fabulous course. Hard but fair.The only reason why I gave it 4 stars out of 5 is the buggy cost and I am writing a review to make people aware of it if they need a buggy like I do. We play all over the world and never came across a buggy cost of £50.

Stunning golf course with great views of London, buy course guide as ravines will trap you if you don’t know they’re there. Superb course in UK top 100, 2nd was a temporary when we visited and lots of tree work going on with large GUR areas on most holes. A real gem despite this.. will definitely play again .

The course is in great condition and the improvements that have been carried out over the last year, will make this a top course once again.

Craig R

22:31 09 Nov 21

One of my favourite courses played ever.That is how much I enjoyed this. Such a beautiful course that will test your golfing abilities. Lots of very interesting holes. You need to hit the ball long and straight off the tee as thick grass and Heather awaits if you are not.so high handicappers its not for you. Favoirite holes were 5 and 17. Not a massive fan off starting with a par 3 but on the whole this is a course that if be happy to play again and again and again. You must play this course if you get the chance a great game of golf.

A challenging course which I’m sure will be impressive after the remodelling is completed. But playing a round with the constant noise of construction and choking smoke on 6 holes was not that pleasant, even at a reduced rate of £60.

Was looking forward to playing to The Addington. I had heard it was undergoing a lot of work on the course, but decided to go anyway. Unfortunately, this put a huge dampner on the experience. In some places it was like a bit of a war zone, with fires burning tree stumps, bellowing smoke over the fairway, lots of GUR and heavy plant machinery dotted around the course, was also pretty slow play. I’m sure it will look magnificent when it’s all finished but it will take a few years to get it to where they want it to be. Having said that, the greens where fantastic and there’s still some untouched parts of the course that were lovely, so be aware if you come to play there are a lot of changes going on and maybe should reflect this in green fees. Won’t be rushing back, maybe in 5 years when all the work has been completed and time has healed the scars. Sue was very friendly at the halfway hut tho and poured a great pint!!

This once great course is currently undergoing the most horrendous works schedule. Masses if trees and shrubs being taken out to improve light and air movement but leaving huge swathes of damaged areas.Sad sight for those of us that know the original masterpiece. But the greens are all in excellent condition and quick. Very expensive visitor green fee £ 125 especially for the condition the course is currently in.

Nigel Jupp

11:28 25 Jun 21

The course has been ruined by the cutting down of hundreds of trees! More GUR than actual playing area. Very poor food and no decent beer, no bitter at all! Not going back. ☹️☹️

Cracking course, even though it was undergoing significant improvement work, the course was still exceptional. Club staff helpful, would recommend playing here if you have the chance, scenic, challenging and enjoyable for all abilities

Oli W

12:31 16 May 21

Very fun course to play, had a discounted rate due to many areas currently being treated/repaired. A few challenging holes and one where course knowledge/management comes into play. Would recommend playing a couple of times or purchasing their course booklet, helpful for those tougher holes.

Alan Wells

12:11 15 May 21

Disappointed with this return visit to the Addington golf course. Course not in good condition due to major refurbishment work. Unfortunately we were not told about the ongoing work and disruption until we checked in….would have been nice to have been told when we booked! Despite the significant disruption to the course there was no offer of a reduced green fee? The look and feel of the course has completely been changed, perhaps when completed for the better, but not at the moment. The current course condition does not warrant the green fee charged.

The layout of this course is simply stunning, each hole is as good as the next, providing a truly memorable experience.

Charles

20:14 19 Sep 20

Very good challenge. The angles off the tee and fairways make you think twice. Not many bunkers but the ferociously quick and undulating greens have enough defence against the best putter. The course owes me, I left a few out there, ill be back.

potterpotty01

22:25 02 Sep 20

not for beginners very challenging. Fastest most undulating greens I have played outside of the belfry. The guy in the proshop was rude and didn’t really seem to care about customer service, bar service a little better.Course planners not available and no pictures on the tees so not easy to plot your way around if you have never played it before. But it’s a great course!

Guy B

14:31 02 Sep 20

Finally got to play The Addington golf club today. Wow, probably the best course I’ve played. A tough course but every single hole is amazing! The tees, fairways and greens are all in fantastic condition. Look forward to visiting again soon.

Wow, what a golf course! Interesting holes galore with no weak holes either. Loved the stretch from 6 to 14. Fairways decent if a little patchy, greens were fantastic and tees were level. Bunkers fine as always. I played under my handicap so it is playable. A great golf course!

Use to be a wonderful course with fantastic fairways,. Now only good greens, hence 3 stars otherwise would have been less. No landing zones, just blind shots.
