Leave M25 at exit 6 and follow A22 direction London / Croydon. After 6.2 miles, at traffic lights, turn right onto the A2022 (Downs Court Road) and follow this road up the hill, direction Selsdon / Sanderstead. After following the A2022 for 2.5 miles, Selsdon Park is on your right (just before entering Selsdon Village).
Selsdon Park Hotel & Golf Club: In the grounds of the rambling, but ever-popular Selsdon Park Hotel, lies this quintessentially English parkland golf course. Laid out by the great J.H. Taylor in 1929, excellent use has been made of the undulating terrain, with plenty of mature trees, including sycamore, beech, oak, silver birch and cedar, providing good definition to the fairways.
Water hazards, too few to speak of, will not cause you any trouble, but the strategically placed bunkering demands good course management throughout. Accuracy rather than power hitting is the key to scoring well on one or two of the short par-4s, not least the 18th where good positioning is essential from the tee. There are enough other opportunities to get the big-timber out.
The well-paced and not overly sloping greens are maintained at a very satisfactory level, while general course maintenance is usually more than satisfactory, without being exceptional. Overall, Selsdon Park is excellent value, either as a Stay&Play venue or just for a day visit - a pleasant parkland course that attracts golfers from near and far.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
