The course reflects the character typical of London's suburban golf clubs, developed during the era of expansion in early-to-mid twentieth-century club golf. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography and tree-lined character of the site, creating a course that blends formal fairways with the mature woodland and open spaces common to courses of this vintage and region. The club's design and evolution reflect the practical approach to course architecture common among London's established clubs. The layout presents a mix of hole lengths and strategic challenges across eighteen holes, with routing that makes efficient use of the available land.

Getting there
Eltham Warren Golf Club sits within Greater London's southeast reaches, accessible most directly via London Luton Airport (LTN), roughly 35 miles north, or the closer London City Airport (LCY), a mere 12 miles east - both offering straightforward road connections into the capital within 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic. For those arriving by private aviation, Biggin Hill Airport (BQH), a historic Kent airfield just south of the city, provides a discreet alternative with swift ground transfer to the club. The final approach winds through the leafy suburban envelope of southeast London, where tree-lined streets and the gentle topography of the Greenwich Peninsula give way to the club's secluded grounds - a quiet sanctuary that feels worlds removed from the urban sprawl beyond its gates, yet remains within easy reach of central London's transport networks.
