Hi, I'm a member as well. If you are looking for a local course to you and you're keen on golf then it's useful. It's one of the least snobby courses I play at, in fact it's the other way around. Apparently many moons ago it was. The only old fashioned thing left is no trainers or jeans and keep you're shirt tucked in. But if you play golf you know this is universal except on the council tracks. It's also a private club and the law stipulates it cannot let general access for the bar and facilities i.e. invite, become a day member (green fee) Because it is an expensive hobby most of the members are either mad on the game, old or middle aged ........ which again is normal for golf clubs. Most people have lived in the area for a long time as well and it is a sociable club and many use it as a pub. Personally I stick to that as golf club socials are not my kind of thing. As a 7 day member I can walk up and play almost anytime, you can only reserve tee times for the big competitions. There are lots of golf clubs in the area crying out for members and there are many that are better than Dulwich .... The Addington(one of the greatest courses in England), Addington Palace, Shirley Park, Croham Hurst, Langley, Royal Blackheath, Sundridge Park ..... if you go another few miles out there are a dozen more. Only Dulwich has a waiting list, because of its location. The wait is over two years and the entrance is 1yr + 2yr joining fee. All the others have either extended payment for entrance fees or waive them. They all have the same rules etc etc etc. The course is average and because it's on clay, pretty awful in winter. Only the Addington is a proper Heathland course with heather, pines and peaty soil.
