Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play golf directly in Greater London?

You won't find any traditional 18-hole golf courses within the official Greater London boundary itself. The city's dense urban landscape means space is at a premium, so you'll need to venture just outside for a proper round. Don't worry, world-class golf is still very accessible from the city.

Where are the closest golf courses to central London?

For your best golf options, you'll want to head just outside the M25 motorway. Surrey and Kent, to the south and south-east, are home to some truly legendary courses like Wentworth and Royal St George's, often less than an hour's drive or train ride away. We recommend planning your transport in advance, especially if you're aiming for a morning tee time.

What's the best time of year to visit London for a golf trip (considering nearby options)?

We find late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) ideal for a golf-focused trip around London. The weather is generally milder and drier, perfect for enjoying the nearby courses without the peak summer crowds or the chill of winter. Plus, London itself is vibrant during these shoulder seasons.

Is it worth bringing my clubs if I'm staying in Greater London?

Unless you're specifically planning multiple rounds at courses outside the city, we'd advise against bringing your full set of clubs into central London. Storage can be a hassle, and navigating public transport with them is a pain. Consider renting clubs at the course or using a shipping service if you're only playing once or twice.

What can a golfer do in Greater London if they can't play golf there?

While you can't play a round, London offers some fantastic golf-themed experiences. We recommend checking out a simulator lounge for some indoor fun, or visiting a sports bar to catch a tournament. Of course, the city's world-class museums, historic sites, and incredible dining scene will keep any traveler more than occupied.
