The Best Golf Courses in Balham, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

Amazing club that offers more than we could have every hoped for in a sports club. We can play golf, tennis and squash all in one place. We also like using the gym and the classes and the outdoor pool in the summer. The facilities for children are also incredible. Mini tennis courts and many play facilities. We can’t even imagine SW London life without Roehampton Club anymore!

Nice golf course. Clubhouse is pretty good too.

Went to watch the Wimbledon Qualifiers here and they have really improved the experience since we came here pre-Covid. Keeping visitors away from players and officials worked better and meant that toilet facilities were much improved and choice of food and drink. Shaded areas with seating were also much appreciated. A fabulous experience and great value for money. Prefer this tournament to the main event!

I have been treated very often (over many years) as a guest of a member to both the restaurant and cafe brasserie at RC. It’s always excellent. Really delicious food, great value, lots of good choices, well presented and just consistently tasty. Love coming here! Service is friendly and always welcoming.

Enjoyable Sunday roast. Friendly and polite service. Atmosphere and decor a little bland but good food and drink. Good party venue with great views towards London.

Went for food and drink only. Prices were reasonable and food was great

Twilight round price very reasonable for quality of the course

Course: Interesting layout, you go back and forth across the road and paths. Walking only course. Not the hardest but overall distances are decent and offer good variety. I still felt it was short overall, but I am a fairly long hitter. But also some pretty challenging holes. Some dog legs and overall great condition when I played. Overall: staff sooo friendly and lent me rentals as I was a visitor. Good price and overall a great place to go. I'd def suggest this one.

What a gem of a course. I'd used almost every club in the bag by hole 6. Great variety of shots required. The greens are superb for the time of year. You need to think your way round, it's not just a case of driver and a wedge.

Awesome course, tricky, greens and fairways are immaculate 🏌‍♂️⛳️

Attended for a Wake of a close relative. A lovely venue. However the entrance is a bit confusing as it's gated, it took a while to realise there's a line on the ground in front of the gates, and car needed to be near that to allow gates to open. Lovely views from the reception area across the 18th hole and out towards Sidcup/Welling. Nice clean facilities, friendly staff.

Had my 80th birthday party my family and I had a lovely evening the staff were excellent.

Nice course in really good condition. Shame the pro didn't tell us about the past Capts comp & from the 13th tee would be closed. Luckily there were some friendly members who helped

Very friendly staff, great food, and peaceful surroundings.

Very interesting and challenging course. A stone’s throw from Eltham Palace. Pro shop manager was very friendly and accommodating. Clubhouse was beautiful, and had a fascinating history. I even got a private tour by the facilities director, which included an incredible golf memorabilia museum! I ate in the bar area and enjoyed delicious food and friendly service. Pick up the book on the history of the club, one of the oldest in England.

It's nice to treat yourself to the elegant and stately surroundings for Sunday Lunch. I did feel, however, that it wasn't as good the first time round. The actual roast beef lunch seemed if was of the pre prepared variety that most pub restaurants do. The beef was passable but may have been not freshly carved. The accompanying vegetables were nothing of note. I hope I'm wrong as it's a good venue to eat, albeit a tad on the pricey side, but that's to be expected.

A golf course with a royal status. Wasn't the longest or the most challenging course that I played so far, but it very well maintained. Has a classic club house that server fantastic food. Probably give higher recommend to the restaurant than the course.😅 It's a been there done that course, as it's not easily accessible. (Private course)

I was sceptical, because I only had time for 1 X 30 minute lesson before I left for my snowboarding trip (due to how popular they are here and how late I left booking), and as it's quite pricey, I wondered what they could teach me in 30 minutes. I was very, very impressed! I was coached by Ebony, and she was superb! Very patient, very knowledgeable and had a great teaching technique. I am thrilled that I came here. Well worth the money, they really crammed a lot of learning into the 30 minutes.

Visited here for golf so can't comment on the other facilities. The golf is a 9 hole par 3 course, it's a good layout and not boring with undulating greens and water hazards. As it's a par 3 it only takes around an hour to get round. The pro shop is well stocked and a round costs £15. The driving range has plenty of bays but as it's only 200 yds long not so good if you're a long hitter wanting to practise with a driver or woods. It's £7 for 66 balls. Overall it's a good challenge for all levels and I would happily play here again.

Course seemed a bit boggy underfoot even with little recent rain. I've known more interesting holes on many other courses. The off course facilities are very good quality.

Great course and hospitality for 54th golf society Captain’s Golf Day.

A wedding anniversary celebration was held there. The food was excellent and the facilities were top class.

You'll get over the fact you have to wear a red top after you realise the course is in the middle of a public park... Quite annoying really with so many people nonchalantly strolling across the fairway (lots of paths across the course with bikes, prams, dogs, kids etc..). Feels like they should be the ones wearing red so you know who not to hit, most don't understand fore either.. Anyway aside of from the obvious flaws, it's actually a pretty neat course.. An unusual course, short but with long par 3s, no bunkers or water. Most holes are reasonably open off the tee but with enough wood to make it not feel like a field. Would probably play again now that I know what to expect, perhaps a bit steep for £40 a round..

Amazing fun , warm and friendly members and club staff and good value. There is a very woodland feel to this course and some tight holes making this an impressive place , greens are good. Just watch out for the odd ignorant dog owner .

Excited about playing a course that I’ve not played in 15 years. The course layout is good, very flat and straight, however bunkers are very well placed and the fairways are mostly undulating so shot selection is key. Course is okish, could be better, however greens are true can be attacked very well. The rough needs work as when a ball lands in it it’s very tough to find them. Staff are very friendly and there is a good beer selection!

Had a lovely scramble with a good friend on this 18 hole course after hitting the driving range. I’m a complete beginner so I was happy to hit a few straight shots! Driving range is decent and has targets etc Cafe is reasonably priced and lots of seating area Recommend sun cream for hot days! The refill station at hole 9 was welcome, and the price of stuff in vending machines is cheap for chocolates etc

Played on the princes lovely course moderately well kept but for the price and accessibility it's amazing great staff, and an amazing day out Update, have played on the dukes very nice golf course, well kept friendly players and staff, really enjoyed it.

We played at Duke’s course. Enjoyable course with rental clubs available. Tips: Better bring own clubs. And a lot ~~~s of balls ~~ 😬
