The London Golf Club

The London Golf Club takes its name from its target audience rather than its postcode: the course lies not in the capital but near Sevenoaks in Kent, in the wooded greensand country south-east of the M25 that has long served as London's outer golfing belt. This stretch of west Kent, running from the North Downs down through the Weald, is dense with courses built to draw exactly this crowd — commuters and city golfers within reach of the M25 and the Sevenoaks rail line into London Bridge and Cannon Street. Sevenoaks itself is an affluent market town known for its ancient park, Knole House, and its position as a gateway between the capital and the Kent countryside, a mix of rolling farmland, former hop gardens and pockets of ancient woodland. A club carrying the London name in this setting signals ambition aimed squarely at the capital's golfing population, positioned to draw members and visitors happy to travel out from the city for a round rather than play within it.
