If you've never visited the Addington Golf Club and Mr Spock beamed you onto the first tee, you would never believe you were a mere ten miles from the centre of London. The Addington is an extraordinary heathland golfing paradise. It's a course which has remained virtually unchanged since J.F. Abercromby, the man behind Worplesdon, designed it back in 1914. Many believe the Addington is Abercromby's finest creation. 
In the early days, the Addington boasted two golf courses, the Old and the New - 36 of the finest golf holes in England, as good, if not better than Sunningdale. Unfortunately, the New course no longer exists; a housing estate now stands in its place. The current course is an idiosyncratic affair, with rickety trestle bridges spanning glorious heathland dells. Mature pine and birch trees provide a wonderful feeling of intimacy. It really is a delightful place to be, especially in the winter, because the sandy course drains perfectly and remains bone dry underfoot.
The course measures slightly more than 6,300 yards and opens up with a challenging par three. The 5th hole is a long par four with a slight dogleg to the left. An accurate tee shot is required to the right to the left-sloping fairway. A hanging lie is often the order of the day for the second shot, which is uphill to a well-guarded green. Take plenty of club for the approach shot, which is usually longer than it looks.
Bernard Darwin was a lover of the Addington, especially the new course, which as we have already said, sadly no longer exists. The course we play today remains witness to Abercromby's skill. Or as Darwin said in his book, Golf Between Two Wars: "He had admirable material, the country of sand and heather and birch trees, and with what an artistic eye he used it!" | |

 |  | | Average Reviewers Score: |  | | | Played here June 15th for the Scratch Open . After the first 6 holes I wasn't sure what the fuss was all about. I didn't think it was a match for some of the other courses with a similar ranking. It changes character a little from the excellent par 3 7th onwards . There are some very strong and memorable holes on the back nine with dramatic elevation changes and peril very close to the greens for the slightly wayward approach . By the time the round had finished it had won me over . |

| | The Addington is in better condition every time I play it. I have just played here 3 times in a week and I can tell you it is in very good order. As for the course it is as unique and idiosyncratic a golf course as you are likely to play. It is a striking course and is very tough if the weather is not perfect.It has a plethora of very attractive holes featuring elevation changes and undulations. It is a flowing journey too. It is a must play course and getting better by the year. JCB Lay |

| | My favourite spot in golf is at the Addington. Standing or sitting on 16th tee with all of South London, The Shard, The Gherkin and Canary Wharf in the panorama. Knowing you are about to play the wonderful par 5 16th and fanatstic par 3 17th - bliss |

| | Played here on September 25th 2012. Paid £90 for 36 holes. Bargain! A blustery, rainy Autumn day.It's in very good nick. Make no mistake this is a Rolls Royce of a golf course. The measure of any great course for me is whether you might find any of the holes else where, whether they play fabulously and whether the course is attractive to the eye. Addington scores on all three counts and in spades. The par 3's are beautiful, The par 4's majestic, imperious and challenging from the tee and to the green. The par fives are short but very tricky. There are some unique holes here; the 8th rewards a long blind tee shot bending left over the hill for a short iron or a shorter shot down the middle for a mid Iron second. The ninth needs two well struck accurate shots to find the green over two ravines. Sublime. The 13th is a stunning 220+ par 3 across a valley. I'd put a bunker at 150 from the green on 14 on the right to put some pressure on the decision on the tee and 2 bunkers on the 15th at driving distance. 250 on the right and 275 on the left to make it more attractive and challenging but that is it. Never the less a wonderful course with great long distance views and a challenge for all standards on a wonderful piece of gentley undulating ground. Go immediately. For a course as good as Sunningdale however we were dissapointed with the micro burger and sachets in the underwhelming clubhouse. It's not half time at Crystal Palace Ron, This is the Addington. Please sort this out, lets have some panache!! JL international JCB LAY |

| | Played this gem of a course over the weekend. Despite the rain we had a fantastic day. So many interesting holes which I cannot wait to have another crack at. Prior to playing I read the reports about the greens so was a little sceptical but they are well on the way to being the kind of greens you would expect of a top 100 golf course. Have already booked a return game. |

| | Played this course last week for the first time. The layout was good, nothing exceptional and the condition was poor. The faiways were shocking and although the greens looked nice and were fast, they jumped and bumped all over the place. Having in the last month played quite a few top 100 courses, such as Stoke Park, Worplesdon, West Hill and Hankley Common which I believe are all ranked lower than Addington. I find it hard to see how this course is in the top 100, let alone 30th!! Nice place but just not the course or condition I expected for the 30th ranked course in England. |

| Response: | | | Matthew Adams | 30 March 2012 | | I’ve played the Addington a few times and agree its greens during the spring can be a pale shadow of their superb, summer finery. Definitely worth a summer visit. The only criticism I would have of the layout, is the relatively weak first two holes. The 8th in particular, with its blind tee shot to a crowned, narrow fairway is a perfect example of how to prevent modern equipment overpowering a course. | | | The Addington GC | 13 April 2012 | | The greens have suffered from fusarium over the past couple of winters which have led to bobbly spring greens. We are working hard to prevent this in the future and excellent progress is being made. The greens were cored last week and with spring upon us we fully expect the surfaces to be as excellent this year as they have been in previous summers. The ground at The Addington is extremely stony and this means historically the fairways have been very thin and bare in places. The Club commenced a programme of ‘green’ waste (organic compost) application last year and this will enhance the playing surfaces considerably over the coming months and years. With regards to the layout of the course it is universally considered to be one of the finest tracks in the country. Abercromby’s design is completely unique. | | | Young P | 14 April 2012 | | I know The Addington well and it is indeed a very fine track. However, it's also a course that has fundamentally lost touch with how it was designed. If you look at the old black and white interwar photos of The Addington (golfclubatlas.com has a good example), trees were few and far between – as was also the case at the likes of The Berkshire, Sunningdale and so on. The point of these courses was that they should replicate as far as possible links-type conditions for London players who didn't have the time to go to Scotland or the Kent coast every weekend. They had undulating terrain, relatively firm and fast conditions – and very few trees. Unfortunately, whilst the nature of the land at The Addington hasn't changed over the intervening decades, the tree growth has. The result is that you now have a links-type course that plays within a tightly wooded environment. Balls hit marginally off-line (or sometimes even on line) go careering off into the trees, from where the only option is to hit out sideways. Whereas at The Berkshire, Sunningdale and so on, the trees are largely aesthetic, at The Addington they impact much more directly on play - a problem amplified by the severity of the terrain (those who've played it will know that the course is basically built on the side of a hill). The best thing the Club could do is to cut down the vast majority of the trees in order to restore the original strategic merit of the course, multiply potential playing lines, open it up to the wind and enable the gambling recovery shot. Of course, this will likely never happen - sadly, most golfers have become obsessed with aesthetics, not least by watching Augusta National every year and mistakenly believing that the perfect inland course has to be tree-lined (even though, ironically, Augusta is astonishingly wide open in places). That said, if one of the best and most famous courses in the world can do it (Oakmont CC removed over 5,000 trees prior to hosting the US Open in 2007), then who knows... Young P |
| | | This is one of the best golf courses in the South East, certainly nothing further East is better until you hit the links courses on the coast. Unfortunately the greens have suffered terribly the last few winters with disease. There are deals to be had here as a non member and that seems to be the way the course is heading, deals, traffic, open to any standard of golfer - Eventhough the course does not suit any standard of golfer. It's a shame but golf is business here. |

| Response: | | | Addington Member | 27 January 2012 | | In response to the previous comment i think its fair to point out that generally all courses offer a reduced price for the winter. If you consider the latest rankings in which The Addington has improved significantly it would seem they know how to run their business. |
| | | Played this tough cookie today in brilliant sunshine at the start of the year, there had been heavy rain the day before, but for the most part, it had drained well, but was a little soggy. With tight fairways and lots of trouble all around this is a challenging place to play - especially for the first time around. Sadly, the greens let the whole thrilling ensemble down - I'm sure this isn't just a time of year/ lots of traffic issue as East Sussex National just 20 miles south was in tip top condition the week before. After my round the very friendly staff explained that they have some issues With the greens at this site, but not at others within their group (Westerham, Woldingham, Surrey National and Godstone). Other than that - I would play it again soon - and I hope they can sort out the greens quickly as it's a great track. |

| | Having played a number of top 100 courses in the UK, The Addington is undoubtedly a fitting member of this club. I played it today on a blustery October day and found a gorgeous heathland course with bags of character, variety, challenge and some great views. The greens were absolutely brilliant and the general condition of the course was excellent, but I have to say I was a little disappointed with some of the fairways which were somewhat patchy. However, this didn't detract from a great 36 holes. The par 3s really stand out on this course with the long 200+ yard 3rd and 13th holes extremely challenging. There are a number of great par 4s too like the 9th where an iron or hybrid off the tee leaves a stern second uphill and the long 15th (uphill again) requiring a driver and 3-wood when playing into the wind, while the shortish 6th and 10th holes are real risk and reward holes where an accurate, long drive leaves a flick to the green. Miss the fairway and you're in trouble however...One other small criticism is that the par 5s haven't really moved with the times. The second is just long enough by modern standards, but the 12th was a bit goofy needing a 3-iron/8-iron/sand wedge combination to get to the green. A driver off the tee simply ran out of fairway and into gorse! Worth noting the welcome was fantastic and the clubhouse is delightful with a good bar/restaurant and nice changing facilities. Overall, well worth a visit and good value at £85 for a day ticket. |

| | Underlying the unique and highly challenging course layout, a serious golfing history which remains well preserved in this day and age where most courses are all about the dough. Also, do not be mistaken by the par 69 and the seemingly short course yardage of 6300. Holes play unquestionably long and tough. Par 5 12th, Par 3 13th and Par4 15th offer you unparalleled golfing challenge comparable to any other renowned holes worldwide one can possibly think of. |

| | If you are playing this course for the first time and without a member you are in trouble, its tough and has some tricky surprises. The greens even in mid October are quick and fast and you will be punished if you don't drive the ball straight, end up in the trees and you'll need to take your medicine, trying to hack through these is not an option. A decent stableford score is mid to high 20's, most comps are won on 30 - 31. 10 miles from the middle of London, you won't find better that close to our capital. |

| | Pure golfing heaven and a wonderful layout.Quirky but pretty course with rickety bridges to cross and one of the best par 3's(13th) in the world according to an american golf writer in the 1980s.Even low handicappers will find the course tricky as it starts with a testing uphill par 3.The 9th par 4 dogleg left requires a well struck tee shot over a ravine and then your approach is some 170yds over another ravine to the green.A must play course! |

| | I went back to this course this week (june 2010). dont go expecting golfing perfection, just go expecting a totally bonkers experience . The bunkers were not good, and the hot weather has not been kind to the fairways - but approach and green are still spotless. I havent played such dramatic holes anywhere - just go and have sme fun. This week I have played also wentworth , woburn there is no doubt these are better courses - BUT - this old track i think remains my favourite, its a tough one to explain !! go during the week for a total bargain, and if you live in south london , dont mess about just join it ! is in a different league to the near alternatives..... |

| | Played the Addington in March 2010. Great fun to play. Deep chasms; smatterings of gorse and heather; tight fairways bordered by mature woodland; thin, wooden bridges and immaculate greens. The bridges only add to the character of the club. The driving is tight and it is hard to score well without driving straight. The fairways are in decent condition and the greens were superb. They were fast, firm and had many subtle slopes along with some large slopes. The 12th is a short par 5. Lay-up at the top and enjoy the rest of this fantastic hole. 13th is very challenging but i can see why it is rated so highly. All of the holes were different and all were memorable. It was a super course with only 1 weak hole: the 18th. Also served a nice ploughmans afterwards. Overall a great course but it has no practice facilities. Must-play |

| | | I played the course in good weather during early April 2010. Addington is an outstanding collection of interesting holes, including the always-admired par threes. A very traditional, old world, unspoiled feel, with the layout dictated by the interesting heathland ground rather than bulldozers and tricked-up hazards. I played Addington the morning after playing Walton Heath, and I'm surprised Addington's international profile isn't a bit more prominent than it is, since I judged it to be in the same league as the more well known Walton Heath (perhaps a function of the '81 Ryder Cup). At any rate, Addington certainly belongs on any London area golf itinerary. |

| | I played the Addington again yesterday and have to say that I had a great day of golf. When you arrive at the club (its a bit of a mission to get to) - the clubhouse and setting is very low key and somewhat misleading - as it is the first hole which is somewhat of a tame start, with none of the 1st tee potential for embrassment factor I like to set the competitive juices flowing. That said the addington as a course is a great test of golf and there are plenty of interesting quirks such as deep ravines, wooden gang ways etc that keep the course challenging. To my mind the course is distinguished by its par 3's - the 3rd is a tough ask into any sort of wind. Equally the 7th is a pictureque hole. The standout hole for me though is the 13th which had nothing to do with sticking it to 8ft (honestly!!) - and the 17th from the back tees is a tough club call. Only downside to me was some of the fairways which are very well drained but do seem to be slightly bald in places - or maybe am just used to the lush feel of my home club Moor Park. All in all the Addington is a fab day out - and if it ever gets the practice facilities and club house to match the course then it will be truly great. However, I agree with the prior review in that the course I think is optimal for visitors rather than a week in week out member. But thats not necessarily a negative... If you have not played it - then get on it! |

| | A good review should help you make your mind up if you want to play a course, or give you an idea of what to expect if you are already committed to making a trip somewhere. This reviewer would say to those dithering that you should definitely make the effort and if you are already going then prepare for some old fashioned fun!
Our party of 8 were coming to take advantage of the great winter deal (also on this year) last March. There were problems on the M25 so several people were delayed, but the Club staff did everything they could to accommodate the changes and make sure we still got a full day’s entertainment.
The course itself has the feel of other heathland courses in Surrey, is not overly long as the fairways are fast running, but has many twists and turns, ups and downs and a smattering of ravines! This makes it sound like crazy golf but it just makes you think a little harder, is not ‘unfair’ and adds to the enjoyment of pulling off the good shots. Almost all the holes have some sort of memorable feature from tee to green and if you negotiate these then the greens themselves are also challenging, with many subtleties (and were pretty fast, even in March).
I, and the rest of our party, really enjoyed our trip to the Addington, and came away wanting to go back – if only to try to score a few more points next time! |

| | I played here for the first time a few weeks ago as the club were offering a days golf at a very advantageous rate. £50.00 including breakfast, a bargain if ever there was one.
Twenty of us in all, and nobody had a bad word to say about the course.
It has some very unusual holes to say the least. Standing on the tee for the first time, not knowing which club to hit or where exactly to hit it.
The only thing that I feel would make the course a little "fairer" would be if the fairway grass were allowed to grow a little. Bearing in mind we played the course in March, there was very little growth on the fairways at all, which meant that the ball just ran and ran. This was fine if you were on a nice, level fairway...but there aren't many of these at the Addington so subsequently a lot of shots were being played from under (or behind) trees, which I thought was a little penal as even good shots were being punished. The tees and greens were in superb condition, and I would love to go back in the Summer when those punishing trees were in leaf. The course looks very bare at this time of year but then that is to be expected. I didn't play too badly, managed to par the signature 13th both morning and afternoon, so quite chuffed with that!
It's an experience I will grant you. I wouldn't like to play the course every week though...not unless they let the fairway grass grow a little.

| | The only negative is that there are two par-3’s in the first three holes – more unusual than negative maybe. Golf at the Addington is everything that is great about the game – a beautiful setting, testing holes and a great club atmosphere. The Surrey/Berks counties have to be the very best county for quality courses; Sunningdale, The Berkshire, Wentworth, St Georges Hill, the list goes on. The Addington can comfortably be discussed amongst these great courses. The 6th is a fine short par-4, the 7th a great par-3 and the 9th is my choice as best hole on the course; driving over a valley, turn left and approach the green over another valley – unique and exhilarating. The par-5 12th is another favourite (need to play it twice before you can understand it really) and then the celebrated 13th ; 220 yards uphill par-3 set in an amphitheatre of pine, birch and heather. It is a strong finish also, I loved the 16th (par-5) as it is all about the 2nd shot (go for the green or lay up – that’s the choice) – another cracking par-3 at the 17th; around 190 yards back over the 16th green and another valley, brilliant. There are places on the course that will certainly remind you of others in the area but the natural contours of the land give that little extra. Do not expect many flat lies as this terrain does not provide them but do expect a wonderful experience. The current GB&I ranking of 88 does not do this justice – I believe around 50th would feel about right. |

| | The Addington, the best. Quite simply a fantastic course. A super welcome and cheap food before you start the round!! Holes 6-13 must be the best stretch of holes anywhere in England, and the 4 finishing holes are just as good. Some truly amazing holes where you cross old narrow bridges that are as tall as the tree tops!! Super condition course with some wicked greens. A masterpiece of design, this is a must play course, can't wait to return. |

Seriously, I have played Algarve, Marbella, Scotland, Wales, North, South, East and West England and the Addington has beat the lot for presentation, beauty, imagination, welcoming, true greens.
If you are a low handicapper, you have to play this course! Even if you aren't, YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS COURSE. |

| | A great course which has been substantially improved over the past year. A journey back to a time when golf was more art than science. The heather is abundant and an autumnal setting brings out the true beauty of the surroundings. The signature hole twelth is a test for even the best scratch golfers. |

| | Played with a member on a crisp saturday morning in slightly frosty conditions. Would say that this is a truly stunning course, I have played a few good courses incuding St George's Hill which is magnificent but the condition is not as high. With the new change in ownership this is likely to improve I feel. If I lived a little nearer than I would be very tempted to join, the membership of 2k is very reasonable in my opinion for such a gorgeous course. |

| Response: | | | John Wade | 02 April 2007 | | Are you sure, the new owners are decimating the old course with the removal of all holly, yew and corse bushes that nestled under the pine trees that line the fairways, where once it was intimate, now its open plan, where you can see three different fairways at a glance. To say that the course remains dry underfoot in the winter, you must have been playing somewhere else, not the Addington. | | | Addington Member | 24 May 2007 | | In reply, to John Wade`s comments, when you actually look at the course and think to how it was originally designed, there are very few trees that are more than forty years old, when it was constructed I would think you could 5 or 6 fairways at a glance, it was a heathland course not a tree lined course. I have to say I did play it this winter and it was very wet, wasn`t everywhere?? We had 6 months of above average rainfall!!
Now it is in fantastic condition, this is thanks to the new owners who have invested in the club. Take a look at the Atlasgolf web page it shows a picture of the 12th hole from the London illustrated, please note the lack of trees!! |
| | | I live less than 2 miles from here and played it for the first time last weekend. Wow! It's hard to believe that golfing heaven is in Croydon.
Despite it being alternately windy, rainy, and sunny, this course was magnificently enjoyable. I cannot think of a hole that was not at the same time tough and fair. There are a few blind shots but the Strokesaver keeps you in play. The 13th hole has to be seen to be believed, as does the bunker under the bridge at the 6th.
The greens are in great shape, even though wet. You can't overpower the course, but a big drive is often rewarded. Wayward play is punished, but not extremely, and accurate play is always rewarded.
Clubhouse facilities are the only let down, but under the new ownership I expect this will change.
This to me seems the perfect members’ club; the pace of play was brisk and you feel sheltered from the world once inside the gates. I would happily play here every weekend for the rest of my life - it is that good. All I have to do is convince the Mrs we can afford it!

| | | An absolute gem. I work nearby and try to play this on summer evenings as often as I can. With its ravines and valleys it's hard to believe that you are in the middle of the Croydon/Addington conurbation. The course may not be long by todays standards but it has charm and challenges in abundance. The early holes are good but the course really gets going from the 7th a tricky short Par 3. The 9th is a 90 degree dogleg which you have to cross 2 ravines via 2 wooden bridges to get to! The 12th is a stunning downhill hole. And the 13th might just be the greatest Par 3 in England and certainly Surrey (particularly when the rhododendrons are in full bloom). On the 14th tee you have a fantastic view towards the City and Canary Wharf on a clear day. This course is easily in my top 10 English courses. |

| | A solid and good course, comparable perhaps with Royal Wimbledon?. A tad short for todays game but very nice to play. Not sure what previous reviewers are saying comparing to Walton Heath etc as its not even close to the best Heathland courses in Surrey. Still, a pretty and good golf course all the same, and should be ranked about 150th IMO. |

| | Difficult to think of a better course inside the M25, Walton Heath maybe, it's that good. Like W.H. an opening par 3 hole but then you immediately get a feel for the rest of the holes, narrow, mixed with heather and treelined. Simply stunning in parts and some very good short holes. The condition on the times I have played, has always been exemplary, yes the clubhouse could do with a lick of paint, but the people there are friendly and the members rightly proud. Strongly recommend a game here |

| | It is an amazing place. If it were in a more famous suburb rather than it's east Croydon location you'd wait many a year to join. It is a very challenging heathland course with huge ravines running through out, which conveniently have bridges accross. However the ravines also make for some very quirky holes. There seems no rhyme or reason why it languishes this far down the list, only it's condition, fast improving, stops it being ranked along with Walton Heath, Worplesdon and other great Surrey heath land courses. Just play it is my advice and if you make a par at the 13 then well done. It's ranked as one of the best par 3's in the world and once you have found your ball on the 12th you'll understand why. |

| | I’ve played the Addington on and off for more than 20 years and it’s an absolute dream. At one stage the club and course was run down but they are now working hard on returning the course to its former glory. The course is short, so take the opportunity to play off the back tees for maximum enjoyment. Once upon a time, this course was voted into the Top 50 and for me it’s almost as good as St George’s Hill and probably, inside the M25, only Walton Heath is better than this heathland beauty. Many of the holes are tight and as I’ve already mentioned, the course doesn’t have huge length, so stay in play and you can score well. I can’t think of a more charming course or club, except perhaps for the quirky Swinley Forest. There are no weak holes and the highlights are many but the ravine which comes into play on the 9th is especially memorable. Old, traditional and totally absorbing, this is a real hidden gem. Play it and prepare to be blown away. |
