Coombe Hill Golf Club

Coombe Hill Golf Club sits in Kingston upon Thames on the southwestern edge of London, and it has built a long-standing reputation founded partly on the golf professionals who have worked at the club over the years, a list that has included three winners of the Open Championship. The course itself is regarded as one of the more traditional and highly rated layouts in this part of the country, and it draws visitors from well beyond the immediate London area as a result. The clubhouse dining operation, led by its own head chef, serves menus built around locally sourced ingredients prepared in a style that blends contemporary and traditional approaches, giving the visitor experience as much attention as the golf itself. Kingston upon Thames sits close to Richmond Park and the wooded commons that run along this stretch of the Thames, and Coombe Hill's course reflects that leafy, established suburban landscape rather than the more open parkland found further from the city. The club continues to welcome societies and visiting groups alongside its membership, positioning itself as a course worth travelling for rather than simply a local convenience for golfers in the Kingston area.
