Coombe Hill GC, Richmond/London

« **on:** February 25, 2025, 05:55:27 PM »

Even though I have never played it, I mentioned Coombe Hill on the visiting London thread as the course is not far from central London. I don't recall it ever being discussed here, although it probably has been.

Has anyone played it? Any background on the course/club? Is it worth a visit? The summer season green fee is 175 pounds.

Just found this video visit from 2011. An Abercromby course where Henry Cotton was the club pro. Not bad!

David-

I haven't played it yet, but it's on my list. Their website is very good and the photos of the course are very compelling. Better hit a straight tee ball though.

The elevation changes make it very interesting.

I played Coombe twice. It wasn’t to my taste. The routing uses the hilly terrain aggressively. There are a few awkward spots as well. Still, if cleared out and fairways widened there good stuff would shine.
