One of the most interesting designs I've played. I'm looking forward to a second crack with some course knowledge. A caddie would've been a significant benefit here but it's not the culture.
I loved the consideration needed for every tee shot, seeing driver is not required for every par 4.
The combo of the par 5 12th to par 3 13th might be the best combo of any course I've seen.
I was new to the Addington in 2025, so the redesign was spectacular in my eyes.
While I liked the design, a par 3 start on #1 wasn't my favorite.
The clubhouse and pro-shop accommodates the basic requirements.

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.
