That’s super helpful! Do they also have anything for beginners, like coaching services?
Yes! Richmond has coaching services for all levels. Plus, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Perfect for beginners. 
While Richmond sounds nice, I wonder how it compares to Southwark. Are the public facilities there any good?
Southwark has decent facilities, but it can be quite busy on weekends! Don’t expect the peace of a private course.
Busy is an understatement! But hey, at least you can make friends on the course and improve your game with some friendly competition! 
If you’re looking for great golf courses in London, I suggest starting with the public ones like Richmond Park or Hampstead Heath. Their green fees are fairly reasonable, especially during weekdays.
I totally agree! Have you checked out The Grim’s Dyke Golf Club? They often have promotions that make it more affordable, especially if you take advantage of their weekday rates.
I heard that some clubs offer membership packages that can save you a lot of money if you’re an avid player. Does anyone have insights on which clubs have the best deals?
Check out the AIG Women’s Open parking club! They have excellent discounts for budding golfers.

Membership at places like The Royal Blackheath offers unlimited golf for a flat fee but can be pricey upfront. But if you play often, it might be worth it!
Also consider looking for loyalty programs; many courses reward frequent players with discounts or free rounds after a certain number of visits. Anyone had experience with that?
I’ve been looking at some courses like Golf at Goodwood which offer unique membership benefits, but the initial fees are steep. It’s a tough balance.
Great point! I think it’s all about playing the field. Some clubs even have ‘pay as you go’ options which can be a real lifesaver.
What about courses that offer twilight rates? Playing later in the day could save you some money. Has anyone tried this out? How was the experience?
You know, I once played a twilight round at a local course and ended up getting a fantastic rate! Definitely worth checking if time allows.
Does anyone else feel that some golf courses in London are overpriced? I mean, you’re paying top dollar, but the course condition can sometimes be disappointing.
Haha, right?! It’s like being charged for a fancy restaurant but ending up with fast food quality. Keep looking for value!
