Information
Designed in 1913 by John Frederick Abercromby, The Addington is a fine course which will challenge and excite golfers of all abilities. Affording expansive views of the metropolis from hilltop tees like those at the 14th and 16th, the fairways wander through mature pine and birch trees and create a feeling of intimacy in stark contrast to the looming mast of Crystal Palace and the backdrop provided by the Natwest Tower, Canary Wharf and the Shard. With no two holes the same, The Addington ensures golfers will need every shot in the bag to navigate their way round this exceptional course and promises a challenging game which will remain long in the memory. You may struggle to pick your favourite, but perhaps the 230 yard par 3, 13th – described by golf writer and former member Henry Longhurst, as ‘with the exception of the 5th at Pine Valley, near Philadelphia, the greatest one-shot hold in inland golf’- will feature? Having undergone a programme of course improvements over the last few years, The Addington is, without doubt, one of the finest courses in South East England and is ranked 30 in Golf World’s Top 100 Courses, England.

The Addington is a fantastic course and getting better every few months with huge money being spent on making it more playable off the tee, bunkers being re-built and even a new 19th hole to offer flexible routing (Hole19 please update asap). Also, for such a nice club, the atmosphere as a guest in the clubhouse is excellent. No egos, no nonsense, no ties etc.

Probably the best ‘hidden gem’ around the here. Wonderful, forgiving course with interesting holes and hugely well kept greens and fairways. Huge amount of work has gone on in the last few years to bring it back to its original design as well as making it play as well as possible. Great course

Superb. So many lovely holes. Bridges, dog legs, ravines. A real gem.

The course is currently under major renovations. A lot for the trees and heather have been removed so a lot of GUR. Tee boxes, fairways and greens still playable and in normal condition. The bones of the course are fantastic. Would love to play once the renovation is complete. I wouldn’t want to pay full green fees at the moment.
