Course Description

Dulwich & Sydenham Hill has been a private members club since 1894. The 6,100 yard course (par 69) is set among mature oaks on the slopes of Sydenham Hill, overlooking Dulwich College. The City is just 5 miles away, making Dulwich a convenient venue for corporate and society days. From the social areas, with two bars and excellent catering, there are panoramic views across the whole of London. In a recent book 'Building London,' the biography of the author, Club member Bruce Marshall, says, 'He deals with the sprawl and splendour of his home town, the entire skyline of which, from the far western steeple topping Harrow-on-the-Hill round to Canary Wharf, he admires on fairweather mornings from the Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Golf Club, said to have the only clubhouse in the world that overlooks a capital city.'
