The Addington is one of J.F. Abercromby’s finest works, and it would be fair to say that over the years it has not been as well maintained as a great course like this one should have been.
However, in recent times there has been a real focus on trying to return the course to former glory, and a huge amount of successful work has been done.
“It’s almost like a Rembrandt found in the attic. You need to take four layers of varnish off, but the painting is still there” – Frank Pont; Clayton, DeVries & Pont
The restoration is well under way.
