Frequently Asked Questions
What's the real challenge at Addington Palace - is it just another parkland course?
Don't let the 'palace' name fool you into thinking it's flat; Addington Palace throws some serious elevation changes at you, especially on the back nine. You'll need to manage your approach shots carefully through the mature trees, making it a true test of strategic golf, not just power.
When's the best time of year to experience Addington Palace without getting soaked?
We always recommend late spring to early autumn - think May through September - for the best chance of dry weather and firm conditions. The course truly shines when the fairways are running fast, and the views from the higher points are clearest, making for a much more enjoyable round.
Are there any 'must-play' holes at Addington Palace that really stand out?
Absolutely, the par-3 14th is a stunner, playing downhill to a green guarded by bunkers - it's a real beauty and a test of nerve. Also, keep an eye out for the dramatic elevation on holes like the 10th and 11th; they offer fantastic views over the Surrey countryside and demand precise club selection.
Is Addington Palace worth the green fee, or are there better value courses nearby?
For a course so close to London with such a rich history and unique layout, we think Addington Palace offers excellent value. You're paying for a classic English parkland experience with memorable holes and generally well-maintained greens, which isn't always a given in this area for the price point.
How easy is it to get to Addington Palace from central London, and what's parking like?
Getting to Addington Palace is surprisingly straightforward from central London; we usually take the train to East Croydon and then a short taxi or tram ride. Parking is ample and free on-site, so if you're driving, you won't have any issues finding a spot for your car.
