Golf Tee Times London: 14 Courses Compared, Prices & Booking (2026)
Public pay-and-play, members’ clubs with visitor access, and premium bookings — all 14 London golf courses with verified prices, transport links, and what to expect before you tee off.
Quick Orientation
London has three tiers of golf access. Pay-and-play courses (mostly council-operated) need no membership and take bookings online, often a day or two ahead. Members’ clubs with visitor access welcome guests on weekdays or after certain times at weekends — prices are higher and dress codes stricter. Premium contact-to-book clubs require you to ring the pro shop or email; self-serve online booking is not available.
Prices in this guide are the cheapest published visitor rate for 18 holes (or 9 holes where noted). Weekend rates are typically 30–60% higher. Twilight (after 3–4pm) discounts exist at several venues and are flagged below.

Pay-and-play: No membership. Book online. Tee times typically open 2–7 days ahead. Ideal for visiting golfers or those who play infrequently.

Best times to book
Weekday afternoons (after 1pm) offer the biggest price drops at pay-and-play courses — up to 40% cheaper than morning rates at Chingford. Sunday evenings are the best entry point for most members’ clubs. Mid-week mornings in winter are the quietest and often cheapest across all course types.
Seasonality
Spring / Summer (Apr–Aug): Peak demand. Weekend morning tee times at top pay-and-play courses sell out within an hour of opening. Book as early as the window allows. Premium summer rates apply at Dulwich (£100 Fri confirmed for Summer 2026).
Autumn (Sep–Nov): Best conditions for parkland courses. Less competition for tee times. Course conditions can be excellent with autumn colour — Richmond Park in particular.
Winter (Dec–Mar): Prices at their lowest. Some courses operate reduced winter tee-time windows. Trent Park’s floodlit range remains useful for practice when daylight is short. Check course-specific winter schedules before travelling.
