Best Golf Courses in Hackney, Greater london (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Love this course. Superb condition, hazards well placed, challenging greens with good speed, very well priced. A short course that allows you to score (I mentally add 10 to my score to compare it to a “full” course, i.e 5800-6200 yards) but probably one of the best in the south Essex area. I would always choose Cranham for my rounds, with Epping and Toot Hill as other contenders. Wanstead is overpriced, Hainault is too busy and in too bad condition, Theydon Bois rarely in good condition, Woolston Manor great fun but busy. 18th signature hole is a highlight, even if they do dye the water! If there was a negative, it would be the open and tight nature of the holes means you’re often at risk from wayward shots (yours or theirs!). Overall 5/5 - hidden gem that may be too short for the longer hitters but provides great fun for the typical weekend hacker.

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.

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

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.

Twilight round price very reasonable for quality of the course

My son and I tee'd off at 5pm. Perhaps the most challenging course to date, high handicapers should carry a dozen spare balls. Accuracy is rewarded, everything else is penalised by this course. Keep eagle eyes on your ball as fairly easy to lose in the rough. Perfect manicured fairways and fast undulating greens. We decided not to look for more than half a minute for our balls. Still could play only 14 holes before darkness. 1 birdie, two pars, and rest unmentionable for each of us.

Seve designed. Played here quite a few times and it remains one of the toughest golf challenges you can get! Every hole and indeed every shot has to be hit well or it will cost you shots. Greens are perfect...very undulating and as quick as any you've played. Loads of water and it all is in play. It will beat you up if you give it a chance, and can even if you don't! Well worth a visit. Club house lovely and views of "S" last green breath taking.

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.

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! 😀

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

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: 4 / 5

A golf course with a tale of two halves - The first half is a short but tight track with no real stand out holes apart from maybe the 2nd which has a tight and blind tee shot. From home 9 onwards the track really comes into it's own. The fairways and greens were in great condition with only a few dry patches around some areas. I played during a twighlight time and the course was relatively quiet. Would play again.

Rating: 4 / 5

Nice golf course with challenging par 3 and 4 holes. Plays longer in the winter and provides a challenge.

What a wonderful day, highly recommended 😊⛳😊.

Great tricky course with great views and lovely friendly and helpful people run the the club it’s a hidden gem

Rating: 5 / 5

Friendly, not busy and cheap membership by London standards. Although it's a 9 hole, it's a proper golf course with many holes needing a driver and mid to long iron to reach the green. Beyond that, it's quite nice that it's a nine hole, you can get round in an hour and a half and still have time for the rest of your life. The greenkeepers do a great job of keeping standards up on a relatively shoestring budget.

Great experiences at Sudbury. Played twice and enjoyed the courses. Fairway condition was outstanding but you could loose your ball easily as there were many fallen leaves on the fairway, which are in white tone. Green fee is very reasonable(25pounds during weekdays) but rental club(I have got sim2 driver, spoon, utilities and irons) is bit expensive (40pound per round). Better you bring your own club if you intend to play more than once. Will definitely visit here again. 👍

It’s a well established club and one I’ve enjoyed playing on several occasions. It never fails to disappoint. Usually good food in the club house too.

I just played here as an American visiting, and had a great time on this course. It has beautiful views and the course was in excellent condition. The pro shop was very hospitable as I needed to rent clubs, and everyone I encountered was very friendly. The biggest difference between this course and US courses are the lack of carts, there were a few people in carts but most people were walking with a trolley. This course was easy to get to by train as it was a 5 minute walk from an Underground station. I would definitely play this course again and recommend it to anyone visiting.

Hendon golf club was perfect venue for our events. The grounds gave a beautiful backdrop and the facilities were of high standard. Can’t thank the staff enough for being so helpful and amazing. Thank you very much for making both our functions very memorable.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent golf club. Course is very well kept, well done the groundsmen! Fairways are lovely, been well watered so a joy to play even in the hight summer. Greens are very fast and challenging. The club house is very nice with a lovely view of the course. Staff are all very friendly and there is a very good choice of beers and spirits at the bar. Nice changing rooms clean and even a sauna. Really picturesque course couldn't find a fault definitely will be coming here again soon.

My husband and I had our Indian Pre Wedding event here, and we have nothing but positive feedback for the Hendon Golf Club team. To start, our requirements were met with ease, Malachy and his entire team were beyond accommodating and nothing was too much for them. Our guests were blown away with the event, and I truly believe that this is down to the venue. The views of the golf course from the decking area, which we used for our food service, allowed for guests to relax and enjoy their meal with great views. To the entire team at HGC, we thank you so much. Our event was everything we could've wished for, and more. We'd highly recommend booking the space for any events!

This is an absolutely gorgeous place! Somehow affiliated with Canada the place features more beaver 🦫 figures and impressions than I've ever seen (including one on the club's arms). Beautiful greens, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff - a worthwhile experience! Their Pro Shop offers a nice selection of golfing tools and attire, too

Wonderful oasis of a golf club in London. Superb club house. Golf course is good , quite flat. Greens a bit slow. The back drop of the club house makes it . Course a good parkland course. Short par fives. Food and bar delightful.Staff excellent

This could be my new favourite golf course. It seems the perfect London golf club offering variety, charm, challenge, and manicured greens. Lovely warm welcome from the pro shop on my first visit this morn. While I can get rounds for £28 I’ll keep coming!

This golf course is absolutely amazing. I haven't been able to play yet but I've been up there a few times. The staff are all really nice and helpful. Foods also really really good 👍

Rating: 4 / 5

Good value for money and in relatively good condition for October, however the course was generally a bit overgrown with sections of some greens unplayable. Some challenging holes but good for all levels of golfer. Better signage needed for where to go and for the closed footbridge.

Rating: 4 / 5

this is a very good course with quite a few challenges (i first played this course over 45 years ago but moved away). there were a few temporary greens in place due to the weather but perfectly playable. my only real complaint about the course is that the members seem to think that the course is there's and they broke the golden golf rule and would not let me play through even though i was behind them from the fifth hole, eventually i had to miss a hole to get in front as they were so slow and holding up play. the staff here were very pleasant and should be commended especially the lady in the clubhouse who explained everything about the course to me perfectly..

Staff and Venue: Super friendly and no doubt a great place. Friendly, bars great and food. Overall great friendly club. Golf: This place as you can imagine is on the shorter end. Low Par and mostly shorter holes. Still a good challenge overall, and can hit driver in most cases. Good variety and well maintained course. A bit interesting layout so be sure to know the map as you gotta go weird directions to get to the next hole sometimes. All an all enjoyed this place! Would recommend for those with shorter games.
