Best Golf Courses in Thamesmead, Greater london (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

The course is in fantastic condition year round and deals with wet weather better than any other local course that I have played. Addington Palace is the first club I have been a member at. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming and the social side of golf has been great. Would recommend the Saturday morning roll-ups to get involved.

Upon venturing to Addington Palace Golf purely for a look around, I was approached by the Men’s Captain who introduced himself and asked if I needed any help with anything. He immediately came across as welcoming and warming, even offering to play a round of golf with myself to see if I liked the course! The course is magnificent and one of the most challenging, yet interesting I have played. I joined pretty much the next day as a Full Member.

Reviewing Callum the pro here — brilliant patient teacher who knows how to focus on key things for each player. I can only manage the occasional lesson currently and he’s so quick to isolate what’s most important. Worth a visit in his own right and the course is great too.

A warm welcoming club to new members and visitors. Having only joined this summer, the members and management have gone above and beyond to ensure it was easy to settle in. The course has been consistently improved with regular course maintenance and improvements and continues to remain in great condition compared with many local courses.

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.

Great course. Very challenging with lots of water hazards and narrow fairways. Make sure you have a good few extra balls! Greens are superb whole course is very well looked after. Club house is very nice and modern. Good selection of beers and spirits. Good choice of food, very nice and well presented. Definitely be playing here again.

Lots of work being undertaken at the moment. An old hole has been found amongst the trees cut down. A site for a new clubhouse has been found and views to the city of London are beautiful. The foresight of the current owner seems to align perfectly with the original course architect. Large greens, wide fairways, a great test of golf. Don't let the par 69 fool you. This course can bite back as quick as look at you. Worth a try now, when it's completed, you won't be able to book a time or join as it will be full.

Always a top course and now moving towards greatness. A marvellous test of golf that is now showing some class. Tees all good most fairways very good and all greens superb and very challenging. Bunkers are proper top course quality, properly raked to give you a chance. Give it a bit more time to mature and it’ll be on a great number of golfers wish list. Btw great views of London too.

One of the best golf courses, to play it is to be blessed

Rating: 4 / 5

A very good test of Golf and a course that has gone through significant redevelopment in the last few years. There were some truly fantastic par 3s some very challenging par 4s and a couple of interesting par 5s as well. Due to a lot of the felling of trees, the aesthetic of the course will perhaps take another 2 to 3 years to really mature. I think this could be an unbelievable course when they finish the work and the changes look more natural. I do think the clubhouse needs updating, but I believe there are plans to do that as well Would highly recommend playing here as it is a very good test of Golf

Friendly club with a good course. Only downside is the walkers crossing the fairways.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great course. Not as easy as the course rating states with some very tricky holes to navigate. It's not one for the driver but will test skilled irons and wedges. Well worth thr green fee and would recommend and return.

Rating: 5 / 5

I just love this place. The team is incredible. They are kind, great at what they do and uber professional. I joined the Academy a few months ago and am enjoying every moment of the experience. The only downside is that we have to share the course with the public but the positives well make up for the negatives!

Rating: 5 / 5

Amazing value at just £20. Greens are some of the best I’ve played on in the area. Certainly the best I’ve played on at a public course!! It’s a classic golf course that will penalise bad shots. Members are among the friendliest I’ve come across.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent old traditional club! The course has had a lot of good work done to it, much improved!

Rating: 5 / 5

Lovely golf club. The best welcome committee I have ever had as an old guy with a white beard welcomes you at the car park entrance. Did not play the course as was working but looked tricky in the high wind of the day. But greens were manicured and the re wilding of some of the fairways looks good. Club house was old worlde but well maintained. Food looked good and the small shop on site well stocked. Coffee was amazing and cakes at the halfway house recommended. The date cake was lovely.

3rd time visiting and it's always a treat. Well worth the green fees. Highlights: pure quality of greens and overall course. Lowlights: £3.15 for a sausage in a dry bun along with the bar not being open until 11am (thus no breakfast!).

Rating: 4 / 5

Extensive and beautifully landscaped golf course that has opened its doors during lockdown to allow non-members to explore its rolling spaces. A secret oasis of green normally hidden from the public's eyes - lets hope it isn't closed off again for ever more when the lockdown ends.

This network has provided the means for me to develop skills and meet others with similar goals. The Social Golfer community has provided me with the opportunities to play more golf and make like-minded friends. Always good fun and emphasis on social...

Rating: 5 / 5

I recently joined the Social Golfer and have already played my first local match. This is a great way to meet golfers in your area and get out on different courses to play. Would strongly recommend the pro membership at just £30 for the year!!

I feel fortunate to have aligned myself and all the young prodigies at AFRIYEA Golf Academy with The Social Golfer platform and its TSG handicapping system. Through this novel system, our talented youngsters and coaches have been able to meticulously record their scores and closely monitor their incredible progress in the game. The utilization of this system creates a valuable opportunity for our students to cultivate greater discipline and reverence for the sport of golf.

For those of us who don’t have loads of golfing friends, The Social Golfer (TSG) is a great way to play golf on a regular basis with a great bunch of people. It’s easy to create and join games. There might be 2 of you, or 22 - it’s up to you. There are “Major” competitions organised by TSG which are great and played, for me, in the right spirit: fun but serious (there are trophies to win!). There is no way I would have been able to play as much without TSG and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Great course, facilities and clubhouse. A few challenging holes, especially visually over water. Accurate driving is paramount with the rough/fescue being fairly pronounced. Weather comes into play big time due to its location and being exposed to elements. Make sure to get a buggy as distance from green to the next tee is generally far. Definitely one to revisit. The pro shop is well stocked and the food is pretty decent.

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: 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! 😀

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.

The Club on the top of the hill, has a good view, I like it! Fairways good , greens a little fast.

We had our wedding at the Royal Mid Surrey Golf Club on 2nd September 2023 and what a brilliant choice that was. Emma, Marcin, Kenga and the whole team worked around the clock to make our event well and truly special. They were very accomodating and the guests all had a fantastic time. We could have not simply have asked for anything more.

Wonderful club house that showcases its amzing and long history, coupled with two fantastic golf course makes this one of London's must play courses for any golfer

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent place for a celebration lunch - good management, careful attention to our requests and plans, really delicious carvery (the beef!) and well presented starters and desserts, efficient service, and all in a lovely spacious function suite with views over the greens. No need to be a member.

Rating: 5 / 5

Played a bunch of times with a pal of mine who is a member and we always get looked after because of him. Booked to play on Saturday just gone, and my pal got ill. The club still honoured his booking and treated us (non-members) but as a members friend just like we were members. They didn't need to, but they went over and above. Big shout outs to Carlos, Oliver, Fenella and Jack.

A fantastic course. Impeccable greens, well kept fairways with decent tees, plus nice sand in the bunkers. A nice setup for all the holes with good challenges, but nothing too difficult. So great for most level of golfers. I wouldn't recommend getting buggies though as they must remain on the cart path. In some ways that's good as it keeps the fairways in good nick, however, there can be more walking and time spent to get the right club. The service was brilliant from conversations with Tom who dealt with all my groups needs and making it perfect for the day, with Alice who looked after all of us brilliantly. There was a lot of nice little touches - with individual gold name tags for our bags, a lovely pouch with The Grove tees and pitch repair. Alice made sure my cakes were cut up and ready at the halfway house before hole 10, and took a load of nice pictures of us on the first tee. Really impressed with the overall experience with a big Thank You to Tom and Alice who made my 50th really unforgettable.

One of the best kept course I have visited and played. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the entire course was fantastic. The greens were perfect, the rough wasn’t too rough and the fairways in better condition than a lot of other courses putting greens! Sausage bap was top notch as well. Highly recommend

Thank you to the friendly and well-informed staff at The Grove. On 26 June 2023, we had a very special celebration that called for a bottle of pink champagne and a very special lunch. The waitress talked me through the gf menu which basically included everything on the menu bar one thing. They cook their food on site and are willing to adjust for food allergies. It's the first time in years I've had fish and chips! And they were delicious. When it came to paying the bill, we were told that because of our celebrations, the bottle of champagne was on the house. Wow! We were so impressed. Then they presented a plate of macaroons and fruit with a piped 'Congratulations' in chocolate. I almost cried at their consideration. Thank you The Grove!
