As a venue the London Rowing Club is great, it is in a stunning location and the long room is beautiful.

However, having recently held our wedding reception here I would strongly advise others to be cautious about booking this place. The in-house caterers bill suddenly increased from what was originally quoted and on the day things did not go to plan. Our drinks bill was also ridiculously excessive (they reckon that each wedding guest had a bottle of wine each + bubbly!).

It's a shame as it is truly a great wedding/party venue, I'm not sure why they feel the need to rip people off. Frankly it is not a very nice way of running a business!

This public course is ideal for low-mid and high handicappers. The course is challenging yet it has several rather easy holes to test out mid handicappers.
The course is in good condition throughout the summer with the fairways being like some courses greens!
During the winter many temporary tees are used but this does not detract from your game at all!
There is a great restaurant and bar ideal after a tough 18 holes. The bar serves many beers and other drinks at reasonable prices.
This course has great greens which are looked after by the greenkeeper throughout the year. The grass is very green and short which makes the game run very smoothly.This public course is ideal for low-mid and high handicappers.
