An 18-hole 5,722 yard par 68 course is great fun for golfers of all abilities.
Created from 1907 by the Beckenham Golf Club, from what was part of the parkland that once was owned by the Cator family. The Beckenham Golf Club built a clubhouse, Foxgrove on the southern edge of the park and laid out a nine-hole course. The golf course was expanded to 18 holes some time after the acquisition of the park and mansion by the London County Council in 1927. Beckenham Place Park has been a public park since that time.
The mansion is now a Grade II* Listed building and provides accommodation for the golf club, a cafe and bar, and the Mander and Mitchenson Theatre Collection. Some of the associated buildings, such as the Homesteads and stable yard, are also Listed. One of the Homesteads now houses a visitor centre run by the Friends of Beckenham Place Park, which is open at weekends.
Be advised to book in advance to avoid disappointment.
