Hi,
Just wondering if anyone here is a member of the Roehampton Club? I'm looking for somewhere relatively near SW6 where I can go a couple times a week to work out, play squash and golf, get to know some new people etc. Seems from the website that its a very well equipped club. Would like to hear what its like from the inside?

Thanks in advance for any info!

Rgds,
Arthur

Oh no! Seriously?? I had visions of glamorous, wealthy London high-flyers with whom I could mingle!
Dammit! I'm under 25 so by the sounds of it will stand out like a sore thumb.

Where to play golf then? Dukes Meadows? But its 9 holes... meh.

To be fair they do have a lively younger section I'm told

Only about 25 years!!!

Not sure how whacking a few golf balls over the croquet lawn would go down either!!!

Golf unfortunately is a must for me, so the Hurlingham is not an option.

I was driving to Kingston a few days ago so thought I'd pop in to the Roehampton, get a feel for the place. Didn't get to see much as I was just given a quick 10 minute visitor pass, but I got a feel for it and really liked it. There was a good mix of age groups, the facilities looked second to none, secure parking etc.. didn't get to see the golf course but from Google maps it looks pretty respectable considering its close to central London!
