Description
The Addington Golf Club is only 13 miles south of the centre of London and a five minute drive from the busy Croydon train station, but it is truly golf's secret garden - a hidden world of golfing delights where there are often more foxes and deer on the course than golfers. Part of the charm of The Addington is the complete seclusion the club provides from the bustling City of London. The layout wanders through thickets of bushy trees like the tight-bending eighth hole, yet still affords expansion views of the metropolis from hilltop tees like that at the 14th Many visitors are impressed by the "Old World Charm" of both the Course and Clubhouse where the traditions of golf are maintained. This does not mean that modern Greenkeeping practices do not apply, quite the contrary! The quality of the greens is of the highest, even in winter, this is a gem waiting to be discovered. The best place in the area to play golf! Heather, braken, pine and birches abound to make a beautiful setting for an absolute classic of a golf course. The 3rd and 13th are arguably amongst the finest par 3's in the world. Perhaps the only disadvantage is that the back nine is hilly making it trying for the unfit.

Addington Upgrade
Haven't played here for a while so was looking forward to what is always a testing course. Was amazed at the conditions. Lots of work on clearance and general tidying up
Making it look a picture. It’s looking and playing better than I have known it before. Spoke to long term (prior to Altonwoos) Members who said the course is in the best shape they had ever seen. Well worth a visit

Good challenge but definitely not worth £100 on a saturday
Enjoyable course to play. Fairways very dry but greens in superb condition. Bunkers poor with little sand and stones in them. Not what I would expect from a course that charges a normal rate of £100 on a Saturday. I paid a society rate of £50 but would only pay that once or twice a year. Have played better courses for less.

Interesting course
The Addington Golf Club is a very interesting course with some unusual holes, great views of the city of London, and apparently the best par 3 in England (13th). The greens were in superb condition as were the tees - fairways a little dry due to the great summer. I really look forward to playing there again.

Adding ton golf course
Nice course, although I fought the tee,s were badly marked.
Not knowing the course there is plenty of rough around the fairways, difficult to find your ball if landed in there. Course is well laid out, greens are a bit bumpy.

A little disappointing
The Addington is not really giving the quality that their well above average prices would suggest. The fairways had many unrepaired divots. The greens were far from being true. Having said that there are many excellent holes here, some very challenging Par 4 holes, not to mention 6 very different and challenging Par 3 holes. My concern is more with the lack of general upkeep all around the course. Breakfast was OK but did not include the cost of a cup of tea.
