What The Club Says

Purley Downs, a 6308-yard, par 70, SSS 70, downland layout, designed by JH Taylor in 1904, is superbly situated some 500 feet above sea level with magnificent views over the whole of London.

From the highest vantage points you can see Wembley Arch, Canary Wharf, Hampstead Heath and the City of London landmarks; some even claim to have seen Windsor Castle on a clear day.

A very hilly course and the fairways were heavily sanded due to the impact of the dry weather. The greens were in very good condition, overall a good course

Quality course. Mesmerising greens

Really enjoyed our 2nd visit. Clearly a quality course as was very popular. Plenty of 4 balls slowed us down. And so we missed the kitchen. Greens truly excellent & so hard to read. Fairways ideal. Highly recommend.

Lovely course, some really interesting holes & great challenges & some excellent views back over London. The fairways’ recovering well from winter & rough was fair however, the greens had been heavily sanded & completely took the joy out of the day because we weren’t told when booking nor when we arrived. Very disappointing. Also plenty of work going on around the clubhouse so it’s going to be great when complete & I’ll be going back then.

Course in good condition despite recent rain and further heavy rain for a short while during the round. Played and drained well. Greens were the quickest I've been on for a while. Nice bacon roll and coffee pre round on our society day. Clubhouse has been re-done recently and is a nice place to spend time pre and post round. Good facilities all round.
