I use to do the same until I found out Beckenham closed. I recently went to Bromley. It's 9 holes and fairly short holes. Not as good Beckenham but I found it the closest with reasonable availability.


I just had a look at Bexley Heath and they don't have any slots in the morning and hardly anything on weekends.

You could try the Orpington Golf Centre. http://www.mytimeactive.co.uk/orpington


Two courses, Cray Valley and Ruxley.


From where you've played before I suggest you try Ruxley. It initially seems to be a very short course (five par threes in the front nine, par 32), but then goes off into the country in the back nine, which is par 37 with only one par three. Not great condition, but some challenging holes, and normally not busy.

I think the Addington area has some good public courses too.


In terms of members clubs, you should define "quite bad" - if you can play to say a 30 handicap or better you would be happily received at Dulwich and Sydenham. You could play without a member during the week and probably less busy times at weekends, but call in advance to check. But is a different standard to Beckenham.

I too miss the convenience and price of Beckenham. Dulwich and Sydenham has fantastic views but you might be better going a little further if you want something a little kinder on the wallet. Mitcham is probably the closest to Beckenham prices that I have found so far.
A bit further out but Pedham Place golf club near Swanley (i'd describe it as an inland links) or Birchwood Park golf club near Ruxley. Both very good. That failing save on travel costs and just play at D&S - twilight golf is a bit cheaper or find a member to play with and the green fees drop to ?30 i think.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.   
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
