Best Golf Courses in Barking, Greater london (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

Best kept communal course I know of. Very good for beginners but with enough challenge for low handicappers, and very cheap in comparison. The 18th island hole is a great way to finish it off.

I played at Cranham Golf Course for the first time this week and I was very impressed. This is a beautifully designed course offering plenty of challenges in the way of water hazards, fairway and greenside bunkers, dog legs and two-tiered greens. You cannot fault the course conditions. The tee boxes are in great condition. The fairways were well cut and the rough is fairly light, with barely any deep rough. The greens are fast and beautifully kept. On the final hole you are met with a challenging but beautiful par 3 with an island green. The course offers 7 par 3s, 9 par 4s, and 2 par 5s. The course would be good for high handicappers, but also enjoyable for all levels. I will definitely be back for more golf at Cranham ⛳

Not the most challenging course out there, but exceptionally well maintained and great drainage - an excellent winter course and great for high handicappers looking for some practice.

Rating: 4 / 5

Fantastic course, very well kept, greens were fast and true. Its quite open and not very long so will favour the beginners and high handicappers. Its well worth the green fee, i will return and i recommend you visit for a pleasant round.

Had a great afternoon at the club last Thursday went with some friends to look at some vintage barbed wire they had over there and were lucky enough to meet two smashing chaps Bobby and Mitchel as I entered the club Bobby was jumping off the stage I think it has something to do with a long jump competition they have there anyway he managed to give me a big hello whilst he was in mid-air which I found quite amusing then got to spend some time with mitch who was very eager to show me some of his lovely drawings I was quite taken aback how good they were he said when he grows up he wants to be like Bobby and drink lots of Jack Daniels .....I've asked mitch if I can commission him to do me a portrait of me and my two friends standing in the nude holding some barbed wire he said he would be happy to but first he has to finish a drawing of king Charles that the Palace has asked him to do...all in all a great afternoon and some very nice barbed wire !!

Visited as a guest at a wedding reception. What a fantastic venue! Great facilities, attentive staff and situated in an idyllic setting with great views over Epping Forest. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great course, not too long and not too narrow, but still a decent challenge, especially if you don't get your drive away or if you don't know your yardages with your irons. Greens in decent shape given that we played towards the end of October after a week of rain. Good little hut serving bacon/sausage baps and hot/cold drinks. Great views of the ever growing London skyline from the holes at the highest point of the course (and the club house). Also saw a giant mushroom! 😀

Really lovely course, well kept. Would of given 5 stars if bunkers were proper sand. Most are dirt. Very challenging course, narrow fairways. Greens are perfect. They spray them to make them look extra green. Very hilly course so you have to be fit if walking! Buggies available. Good choice of food extensive menu. Staff all round are friendly and helpful. Definitely be playing here again.

Played on the excellent Heritage course in the Pro Am. A very challenging course with some interesting holes. The condition cannot be faulted in any way (maybe the rough a little high 😆). Lovely clubhouse and friendly staff. A great experience.

I had my first golf experience at Central Park Golf Pitch & Putt Green with my cousins, and it was really good! The course was fun and beginner-friendly, making it perfect for our group. The staff were welcoming and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. We had a great time enjoying the outdoors and sharing some laughs. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to try golf for the first time!

While visiting the Central Park, came across the Golf & Putt Green next to the Car Park and Adventure Play Area! There is a very beautiful well-maintained garden with many different types of plants including few mature trees in front of the Kiosk. There is a stunning custom-made swing hanging from a large trunk of the tree! A boat becomes a play area for children under the shade of the tree! Mesmerising winds and chirping of birds make this place an imaginary heaven! There are chairs and tables for you to busk in the sun and enjoy the peaceful surroundings! Kiosk does serve hot drinks and snacks! I visited them after COVID19 Lockdown restrictions were relaxed and the Pitch & Putt Green was working on resuming full operation! The people at the Kiosk were very friendly and welcoming! We had a great chat and and enjoyed the natural beauty! Public Toilets next to the Kiosk were closed due to COVID-19 Restrictions at that time! If there wasn't any sign of the Golf - this place can easily be identified as a Peaceful Ornamental Garden!

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)

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Went to the golf club for a private party. Food was good Drink was reasonably priced. Atmosphere was great. Plenty of room and there were tables outside. Definitely a venue to consider for 50-75 guests.

Hired the club house for a birthday party. Great venue, bar and office staff friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I can't recommend the caterer. Didn't return calls/emails/messages and then cancelled on me 2 days before the event. I would suggest outside catering for this reason but otherwise - great place!

Great Public course. Bargain after 3pm and the greens are easily the best I’ve seen in the London public course scene.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great 9/18 hole golf course with some of the best greens in N E London and Essex.

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

Rating: 5 / 5

Course was in stunning condition especially considering the weather over night and in the morning. Food was superb as always. Well worth a visit if you get the chance

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

Rating: 4 / 5

I can only really comment on the aqua drive range and staff. Gotta say though the staff are friendly and it's only a tenner for a hundred balls to whack your frustration out with. If your bored fancy something different, highly recommend popping over here and kids are welcome to. (Clubs can be hired for a mere £2)

Rating: 5 / 5

Reasonably priced for golf and alcohol. Modern alcohol served with plenty of variety. Alcohol free fruit flavoured cider also available. Billiards table. Once you've let your stress out by bashing a load of balls into the lake you can have a few pints and a game... Great place, hadn't been for ten years but will becoming more regularly now

Excellent place to spend time with family or friends. Easy access from the A12. Free parking. Drinks and snacks available. Easy online booking. No waiting in the queue. Highly recommended 👍🏻.

Rating: 5 / 5

I love this place. Easy access, a turn off the A12 dual carriageway. Free parking, snacks available on site. You can book online in minutes and enjoy playing golf. Around 20 holes on the course. Lots of different types of tests to get your competitive juices flowing. Great fun for kids and adults. You will have a great time here. Lovely setting. Salim Patel

Had a really nice time with the family, took just over an hour to complete the course, it provided some light-hearted competition, lots of laughs and a couple of arguments too! Everything you expect from a family outing. My 8 year old said it was like going abroad on holiday with all the palm trees 🌴 luckily for us it was a sunny afternoon 😎 only downside was it is a bit expensive at £40 for 2 adults and 2 children 😀

Great decorative fun mini golf. Could do with modifying a few of the more simple holes to make it a bit more challenging but overall decent course. Bathrooms were very dirty.
