About the course
Course description
Following the popularity of the neighbouring Prince's Course, a second 18-hole course was built in 1925 and commissioned by the Duke of York (hence the name). The Duke's Course is the longer and more challenging layout of the two relatively flat parkland courses, with water hazards coming into play on a number of the holes.
Being a public course, it can get quite busy in the summer and on weekends so make sure to book in advance. Richmond Park offers good practice facilities including a full driving range.

Visitor reviews
The better of the two courses at Richmond Park, this one generally books up first but you should be warned that both courses are always busy and play very slowly. Not a particularly memorable course but pretty central and easy to get to.
