Addington Palace Golf Club makes a strong impression from the outset, combining a beautiful natural setting with thoughtful strategic design.

  Recently the two loops of nine were flipped, the course now starting with two long par 4s which will nicely spread out groups, a large tick in my book.The opening hole is framed nicely by well managed trees and supported by excellent turf quality, it offers multiple routes from the tee and an...

The course abuts “The Addington” which I’ve played before but Palace presents its own individual test and charm, worth checking out.

Really cool course. Greens were amazing for the time of year. The back nine presents some quirky short par fours with small greens that require some decent course management. Really lovely setting within the grounds of the palace.

Played in July 2023 - gem of a golf course.

Greens were fantastic - fast and true with severe slopes. The pins were in tricky positions - premium on approach play, particularly on 3rd and 10th. 15th was an odd hole but one you’d appreciate after a few rounds. Enjoyed it, particularly Bobby Locke’s favourite (photo from 3rd tee).

I've played Addington Palace a number of times, most recently in September 2022.

While not up with the very best it's a good course; the holes are individual in character, the greens are hard and multi-tiered (though not this time at their glassy best) and the use of the landform very interesting. It's also, particularly for the front nine quite a walk - 2 is up, 3 is down, 4 is...

A hidden gem, given it's lowly place in the Surrey rankings.

Greens and greens surrounds immaculate, as well-conditioned as you could hope for at this time of year. Some special holes, 3 and 7 both beautiful and interesting in the extreme. The greens have real interest, and would be a handful from above the hole in summer.Perhaps best of all, there is somehow...

Firm, fast greens is always the main selling point and you have to give Addington Palace their dues.

The course is challenging and the layout provides a good test but the problem, and the reason I’ve never really enjoyed playing here, is that many of the green complexes are just too severe and when pins are set in the wrong place, e.g just below the MacKenzie slope, it becomes unplayable and feels ...

Addington Palace demonstrates the remarkable depth of Surrey golf courses.

It is ranked on this site as only the 36th best in the county, however it is good and well worth spending a day to enjoy. It’s recent history is quite fascinating, and the historic Palace provides a wonderful backdrop for golf.The front nine is very hilly as it meanders through a wooded area from wh...

I have played Addington Palace, like the neighbouring Addington, twice.

However, my first time came when only 12 holes were open. So, on a boiling August day, with a good mate of mine, we headed out onto the grounds of the grand palace for a game.I feel like Addington Palace is overshadowed by the Addington greatly. One of the problems this course has is that the simple...

Really enjoy this course.

Condition is fantastic and you can see the hard work from the green keepers paying off. Hard to believe this course is minutes from Croydon centre.Years ago The Addington (Next door) was the better course but now Addington Palace is by far a better course. Get down and give it a go you will not be d...

Considering the level of rain the course was immaculate, greens were very fast and true, fairways were excellent and mostly dry.

The course is very undulating with many holes that would be considered 'signature', practice facilities include a huge putting green, chipping area, nets and a pitching area. Would highly recommend for winter golf.
