Biography coming soon!
We have a range of coaching facilities for you to use in your lessons. Use the key to find out more information and the map to discover there location:
Driving Range |
Our 32-Bay Floodlit Driving Range is open to members and visitors 7 days a week. Come rain or shine you can hit balls until your heart is content. Opening Times: Monday – Thursday 12.00pm – 8.00pm Friday – Sunday 7.30am – 3.30pm
Putting Green |
Our well-kept putting green sits adjacent to the driving range, perfectly situated on the way to the first tee. Practice your distance putting and green reading skills on an undulating green that performs similarly to the greens on the course.
18 Hole Golf Courses |
The courses at Addington Court are all about encouraging more players into the game. Neither too long nor too taxing, they nevertheless present their own quirky challenges, not to mention the pleasure of a good walk in beautiful scenery. The Championship course is a tree-lined parkland design, requiring greater accuracy off the tee, while the Falconwood course is more open but has smaller greens, demanding more precision with your approach shots.
Short Game Area |
We allow chipping onto the practice green which is a great way to get a feel for how you ball will react on the course. For those wanting to practice longer chips and pitches there is an area to the side of the green to be used for this. Our practice bunker is situated alongside the driving range. Players should use range balls and are able to hit out onto the range, meaning any thinned shots will not endanger any other players. Build your confidence and put it into practice out on the course. Please use your own balls and be aware of other players practicing.

"A warm and friendly club. The children learn through games which keeps them engaged. Would highly recommend." Hannah, George's mum
“I was a well-practiced beginner and thought the standard would be much higher than me and so I’d be holding the group back. The group was more mixed, very friendly and supportive. It has been friendly and worthwhile!” David, Club Member
“You have promoted the game in a truly refreshing way which has led to some great results, not least of which has lead me to feeling far more comfortable with my game” Mike, 12 handicap
