Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Golf Club

[phillyboy]

Anyone played here before? I see you can play during the week without being a member. I don't suppose anyone knows the fees for membership? It seems too perfect to have a golf course about 300 yeards from ED

[dbboy]

do they have a website you could check?

[Sandperson]

If you are rich, you'll be ok.

[lenk]

I did check once - something like ?40 a round summer green fees.

don't know if you're female (your username suggests not) or not but the usual 'females and juniors have no course standing' nonsense applies.

[phillyboy]

Yup its here http://www.dulwichgolf.co.uk 35 quid for a weekday round seems ok. Although I fear membership would be naother matter....

[snorky]

Just turn up and play

dont bother with fees and suchlike

smash the golf based bastions of class & sexual discrimination!

[woofmarkthedog]

Yeah and let the grass grow & hippies camp out on the 18th

Wooooo ... smash the system man...zzzzzzzzzz

[alachlan]

I looked into it a couple of years ago. I think the annual fee was about 1200, and you had to stump up this or double this to join in the first place, and there was a waiting list >12 months, and you needed to be introduced etc.. Nothing particularly unusual.

no

Hippies are reactionary scum. Thye would not be calling for the destruction of a system they exploit so well.

Yeah point taken Snorkers

Turn GC's into motocross tracks.......

Now that's more like it..

W**F

*pulls massive wheelie down College Road.....AAHHHHHHHH*

I popped in the other day and found it quite snooty. And you need a swipe card to get in!

[snorky]

I cannot advocate a mass tresspass & quick nine holes for obvious reasons, but swipe card entry has never been a barrier to the determined

We should invade the Dulwich & Syd gold club & build a crazy golf utopia instead...

[Mick Mac]

I'm a member there and I would not say its particularly snooty as golf clubs go - there are a mix of different types of people - a lot of the members don't live in Dulwich, they are from all over South East London. Most members are over 50 but there are plently of young golfers around as Dulwich school kids play for free.

The fees of ?35 for a game without a member is very reasonable for London and its a reasonable course although a little on the short side. The greens are small and are slick in summer. They have made improvements to the course over the winter.

I'd recommend it as good value for ?35. The clubhouse is in need of an upgrade and they are considering this currently in which case the fees will probably go up further when they ultimatley get around to it.

[AllforNun]

fees are ?3000+ for the year plus a couple of grand joining Fee.

[Mick Mac]

I dont know where you get your information from afn. its actually ?1166 per year.

[phillyboy]

Ah super thanks for the info - think i'll try a round one day during hte week

[fractionater]

I've played there a few times and it is a short course, I didn't like it that much.

Shirley park is pretty good and nearby

[Jah Lush]

My dad was a member there for over 50 years and my uncle still is. I hate golf though and all that goes with it. It's game played by men with small balls.

[SeanMacGabhann]

yeah yeah and you hated G&B until you actually gave it a go Jah.. ;-)

I think fractionater is about right tho - first time I tee'd off looking across teh city on a sunny day I thought I was in for a treat. But it's just a bit short and dull. I'm still up for a game tho..

[lenk]

Has anyone played on the one on top of the reservoir?

I'd be interested in getting on there to take some photos more than anything else.

[red devil]

Re. Aquarius, I was told you have to book by phone beforehand...

I have played. I was a schoolboy member there. Never took to the game. Too slow for me. And I find sports clubs too snooty by far. (See also tennis and squash clubs).
