The Addington Golf Club is a rare Golden Age heathland layout in Croydon, south London, representing the only known collaboration between architects J.F. Abercromby and Harry Colt. Founded in 1913, the course stretches to over 6,300 yards across rugged, ravine-cut terrain, and has undergone an extensive restoration by Clayton, DeVries & Pont since 2020.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience at The Addington from making the tee time to finishing the course.

The Addington simply did not disappoint despite the weather on the day launching high winds and even a hailstorm our way — “forcibly” guiding me to the merch section for a comfy beanie beforehand.

The rebirth of The Addington in recent years is a quite remarkable story with a classic, but almost dormant, golf course being given a new lease of life.

The Addington is easy enough to find, sitting between Croydon and Biggin Hill in South London.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
