Shortlands Golf Club is conveniently located in a pleasant mature countryside setting close to Bromley and near to Orpington, Beckenham and Biggin Hill in Kent and Croydon in Surrey and is easily reachable from South London. The club dates back to the 19th century and in 2019 we celebrated having been in existence for 125 years.

In all those years, the course has continued to challenge and delight golfers of all standards in equal measure.

The course rewards the accurate, thoughtful golfer rather than the one can drive the ball the furthest. To score well you need to be straight off the tee because the fairways are narrow with internal out of bounds if you stray too far off line.

Lovely place. Great function location. Beautiful grounds. Lovely people. I’m having my wedding reception here and the staff have been very helpful.

Having played and been a member of a number of the local clubs over the years, including the “bigger” clubs I recently joined Shortlands Golf Club and couldn’t have a made a better decision. The course is superbly presented and the work on the bunkers really is transforming them from good to great. Its a very friendly club without the airs and graces of some and I have been made to feel both very welcome and in need of more practice!

Shortlands Golf Club is open to golfers of all abilities and we dedicate ourselves to an atmosphere of friendship, competitive and friendly golf. We assure you of an enjoyable round of golf on our well-maintained course with the opportunity to reflect on your game over a few drinks / light bite in the comfort of our clubhouse. Whether you visit to play a round of golf, experience the camaraderie in the club house or choose us to host your special occasion, we very much look forward to welcoming you to Shortlands Golf Club.

This Years Captains Charity is Parkinsons UK

We will be working hard to achieve a greater recognition of the charity Parkinson’s UK, and raising money for this my elected charity during my captaincy. This is a charity dear to the Mens Captain’s heart as sadly, his mother, who was a sufferer of Parkinson’s for a great many years passed away as result some five years ago.

It was an incredibly difficult time and to see one so full of life suffer and change as she did was heart breaking. The charity does a great deal of good; it drives better care, treatments and quality of life. As a result of the incredible work they do no one has to face the fear of Parkinson’s alone.
