Sidcup Golf Club is a members' club on Hurst Road in Sidcup, Kent. Founded in 1891, it is one of Kent's older golf clubs. The present parkland course consists of nine physical holes with 18 tee positions, producing a full 18-hole round of par 68 and approximately 5,571 yards from the White configuration.
The club identifies the course as a James Braid design and participates in the Association of James Braid Courses. Its setting forms part of historic Lamorbey Park, where an 18-hole course was laid out around the northern lake in about 1910 before later development reduced the golf property to nine holes. The modern course uses mature trees, the River Shuttle and several water features as playing elements.
The course is a 9-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 68, 5,094m (5,571 yards). Designed by James Braid, the course originally opened in 1891. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Bar, Catering, Putting Green, Pro Shop, Membership.
Sidcup Golf Club was formed in 1891 as the growing railway-connected suburb attracted professionals and city workers to the area. The club became one of the early golf institutions in north-west Kent and today describes itself as the eighth-oldest club in the county.
The present course is associated with James Braid and occupies mature parkland. Historic England records an 18-hole golf course laid out around the northern lake at Lamorbey Park around 1910, thought to have been designed by Braid. The surviving course uses the River Shuttle, mature trees, lakes and bunkering across nine physical holes with separate tee positions for the second circuit.
Urban development repeatedly reduced the land available for golf. The club's own history says development ultimately reduced what had been an 18-hole inland course to nine holes during the 1950s, with further encroachment in the 1970s. In the 21st century the old clubhouse site was redeveloped as a leisure centre.
Planning approval for a replacement golf clubhouse was granted in 2004 and the new clubhouse opened in 2008.
Sidcup remains a members' club operating a nine-hole parkland course that is normally played as an 18-hole, par-68 round. Non-members may play at specified times by prior arrangement with the club.
