Dulwich & Sydenham Hill Golf Club

A Colt course with skyline views

Harry Colt, the architect behind Sunningdale, Muirfield, Royal Portrush and Royal Liverpool, designed this course. It is framed by mature oaks, with undulating fairways and fast greens that need careful reading. From the back tees it plays to par 69 over 5,872 yards, and several short par 4s and par 3s put the emphasis on accuracy. The club says the course was designed for walking.

Booking and visitor practicalities

This is a members' club, so some times are reserved for members, including weekday competitions, Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays. Visitors can play at weekends and on bank holidays after midday, subject to availability. Contact the pro shop for tee times. All visitors need a CDH number, a dress code applies, and a good pace of play is expected. Buggies are limited, so book one in advance through the pro shop. Since 20 September 2026, drainage work has reduced the course to 14 holes until further notice.
