The staircase-like 15th green, which will become the 11th hole once the clubhouse moves to its intended location from over 100 years ago, currently marked by a marquee.

Course Walk, Part 4 – The Wodehouse Bunker on hole six, and the challenge with our restoration project when old images sometimes confuse matters.

The now exposed bank to the right of the 16th green is being cut to fairway height to create a visually striking miss that will punish imperfect approach shots and encourage creativity in the pitch shot (or putt) back up the hill. Just as it was in 1913.

Course Walk, Part 5 – False fronts across our course, being brought back to life by our restoration.

A bird's-eye view of the seventh green, which will appear minuscule in comparison to the same green 12 months from now. When fully restored, the back half of this green—which will be 90 yards long—won't even be visible in this photograph.

The dramatic land movement of the 12th hole, seen from above — with Perdu’s green sitting right next door.

A good test of our restoration work is whether Colt and Abercromby would recognise the course today. Mike Clayton seems to think they would — but a few years ago, they certainly wouldn’t have.

Expansion work on the 11th green is now complete, creating new pin positions right up to the bunkers and run-offs. The restored back-left bowl will be great fun to play to, though it'll be a serious challenge when the alternative tee is built to the right of the 10th green.

Course Walk, Part 7: The evolution of the famous 12th hole — and why we removed the heather on the approach last year.

May 1930 — the great Bobby Jones and the US Walker Cup team practise on the New Course at The Addington before heading to Royal St George’s, where they’d go on to win emphatically, 10–2.

The view from above our clubhouse now reveals glimpses of more than nine holes — triple what it was before the project began.

Alongside ongoing renovation work, Jonathan and his team have the course dialled in — firm, fast, and playing just as Abercromby and Colt intended.

It’s clear that Abercromby designed our 13th as a par 3.5, with ample room short of the green leaving a simple pitch for those not wanting to leave themselves in a bunker, or short-sided, for their second.

The original humps surrounding the 4th green were once covered in semi-rough, softening their contours and requiring little imagination to navigate. Now shaved down as things once were, a missed green here presents some incredibly unique shots.

Course Manager Jonathan Taylor discusses why the 12th is his favourite hole.

Improved playing corridors have allowed the course to come alive with colour in summer. Firm, green fairways are bordered by brown native areas, with purple heather soon to bloom as well.

The current fifth – soon to be the first when we switch back to the originally planned layout by Abercromby & Colt – features a vast, bumpy fairway that offers players the option to chase angles off the tee or provides ample room for the first swing of the day.

The 14th green with London’s skyline in the distance. The fairway here will soon hug the tree line, which covers a cliff-like drop, allowing players to chase the preferred angle up the left and flirt with a hazard that has been hidden for generations.
