Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Golf Club

A lovely well-kept private course just 5 miles from the centre of London. It isn't very long (just over 6,000 from the white tees) but it has a great variety of holes and probably the best view of London from south of the river. Visitors can only play during the week or at the weekend as the guest of a member. The course is generally very quiet - it's not uncommon for a 2 ball to get round in under 3 hours! I played last week (August 2008) and the greens were in superb condition. The par 3 14th is a particularly interesting 3 tier affair! The clubhouse isn't the prettiest in the world but it has all of the facilities you would expect including a spacious locker room with showers. There isn't a driving range but there are a couple of nets and a large practice putting green. For a club so close to central London and in such fantastic condition I think £40 is very reasonable. I will definitely be going back.

Played here midweek October 06 (£20 using a county card). A pleasant course but probably not one that i'd tell someone to make a point of playing.The clubhouse sits at the top of the course where there are far reaching views across London (there's a great view from the 18th green). It's a Colt design so it's well layed out & holes 8 - 14 are quite classy (the short feature hole 9th would grace any course).A few tees were a bit uneven & some of the tightly cut fairways were a little bit patchy but overall the condition was decent. Although there not much to be critical of & it's by no means a bad course , it didn't leave me wanting to play it again & the £20 i paid was right on the limit that i'd pay for it. Kevin B.
