When you walk down the fairways of Shirley Park Golf Club it's hard to believe you are only one mile from East Croydon Station. This is because a parkland on one side and the wooded Shirley Hills on the other flank our Surrey countryside golf course.

Designed in 1913 by Tom Simpson and Herbert Fowler, our generous fairways accommodate all levels of handicap golfer and our undulating greens are commented on very favourably by amateur and professionals alike as being amongst the best maintained in Surrey. The course snakes through mature oaks and occasionally crosses ravines, so club selection is always important to get exactly the right distance. We have course planners to give you the exact yardage and if you're using a range finder you'll be pleased to know that the course has been fully mapped by SkyCaddie.

We have generous fairways and our rough will penalise you with a restricted shot, not necessarily a lost ball. Our greens are well watered, even at the height (or should that be heat) of the summer thanks to our own well next to our half-way hut which has food and drink to sustain you through the second half of your round.

We promise you 18 holes of challenging golf followed by a professionally prepared meal in our spacious dining room or you may want to sit in the players bar and watch golf on the large plasma TV. Or you can sit out on the patio and watch the others as they finish.
