Let’s be real for a sec: the actual golf is nice, but the view is the main character. From the higher tees, you can see for miles across the park and even spot the city skyline in the distance. It’s like someone Photoshopped a countryside course into central London.
You’ll be hitting a shot and suddenly think, “Wait, is that the Shard?” It’s a weird, wonderful contrast. The breeze up here is fresh and clean, a total escape from the Tube fumes below.
And if you’re not playing? You can still enjoy it. The clubhouse at Norstead Place is open to everyone, not just golfers. Pop in for a coffee or a pint with that famous view.
A Hidden Gem for Walkers and Dreamers
Honestly, you don’t even need a golf club to appreciate this spot. The course is bordered by public footpaths, so you can walk right along the edge. It’s a fantastic detour on a Richmond Park stroll.
Watch the golfers do their thing, listen to the birds, and enjoy the quiet. It’s a little theatre of sport and nature, and you’ve got a front-row seat for free. No ticket required.

Feeling curious? Just imagine swapping a day at the office for an afternoon here. You could grab a cheap used putter, book a tee time for under twenty quid, and feel like a millionaire for a few hours.
That’s the magic of Richmond Park Golf Course. It’s an urban oasis that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
