Golf Courses in my Borough

London Borough of Sutton

Sutton has two active golf courses, (excluding those with fewer than nine holes) which together cover a total of 114.74 hectares. That's approximately 2.62% of the borough's total area. One course is publicly owned.

In total, Sutton has 45 holes across these courses.

Assuming one hole takes an average of 12.5 minutes to play, and that a maximum of four players can play each hole at the same time, the maximum number of people occupying Sutton's courses over a twelve-hour day is 563, or 180 people at a time. Therefore the total maximum density across the borough's golf courses is 1.57 people per hectare.

Sutton has an approximate housing density of around 19 homes per hectare. If new homes were to be built on all of the publicly-owned courses in the borough, at this density it would deliver circa 876 homes.

Sutton has 1,536 people in temporary accommodation, and 1,591 households on its housing waiting list.
