The course is located at Richmond Park, and is reached from Hertford Avenue off the Upper Richmond Road West. The nearest gate to Palewell Pitch and Putt is Sheen gate. Click here for a map of the local area.
This is an enclosed nine-hole course at Palewell Common, which is an extension of Richmond Park.
The course is divided in two by the Beverley Brook. A footbridge takes you from one side to the other.
The holes are all at least 80 yards long, and several of the greens are guarded by sand bunkers. A pond provides an additional hazard on the 9th hole, and the Beverley Brook itself captures any hooked drives from the eighth tee.
The greens are exceptionally large for a Pitch and Putt course and the entire area is maintained to a very high standard.
There is a golf professional, Karl Spurrier, attached to the facility. The tuition programme centres on junior players.
There is a Junior Pay and Play session every Saturday from 9.30 until 11.00. Advance booking is not necessary; you can just turn up for tuition and play. The cost is £7 per session, or £36 for a six-week block.
Competitions are held every month.
Courses for juniors are held during the Easter and summer holidays. Some of these are golf only; others are combined with other sports.
The kiosk provides a range of snacks, hot and cold drinks, and ice creams.
