Golf courses / lessons

[Paul]

Does anyone know of any golf courses and driving ranges that are easy to get to from east dulwich without a car? I've played a few rounds at Mitcham but am looking for a better course. I'd also like to find a good golf pro for lessons.

Cheers!

There you go.

Dulwich & Sydenham Golf Club

A good walk spoiled.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it's a private club and only take non-members on week days. I'll give the pro a call though and see if he'll give lessons.

hi have you tried aquarius in Marmora road? Not personally a golfer but apparently they have greta lessons and it's right in SE22

Thank you Oscar Wilde.

I prefer this quote though.

"Golf is a game played by men with small balls." Peter Cook.

Anyway, best of luck Paul. My dad was a member at Dulwich & Sydenham Golf Club for over 50 years. I had lessons there when I was a boy but never took to the game.

Beckenham Place Park is a reasonably well kept municipal course. I think you can get trains from Peckham Rye.

Beckenham Place

Highly recommend Darenth Valley (Peckham Rye to Shoreham on the Sevenoaks line). Considering it's a public course, it's always kept in good condition and never too busy. Beckenham Place Park has been left to rot under the poor management of Lewisham council.

Beckenhams good in the summer but poor in the winter and not difficult to get to on the train. An alternative would be Elmers End Golf range which is a train from E D and a tram and then a 10 minute walk. Bit of a fag but the lessons there are good. And you can aim your balls at the trams.
