Donate to Community Trust formed to Fight Closure of Inner London's Oldest & Last Public Golf Course –

A Unique and special paradise where SIr Henry Cotton and Patty Berg Played Exhibition matches at the invitation of Tom & Geoff (Tom’s son) Cotton (no relation to Sir Henry) who both became Professionals at Beckenham Place Park.

In fact Sir Henry Cotton, The Gentleman Golfer, learnt to play golf in Lewisham at Honor Oak & Forest Hill (now Aquarius Golf Course). His first Professional post was at Langley Park Golf Club in Beckenham. He won The Open x 3 and was in top 10 something like 17 times and was one of the first UK golfing superstars!

Geoff Cotton became Chair of the PGA and his training scheme for young professionals was adopted by the PGA. Tom and son, Geoff, helped to make Beckenham Place Park the most played on golf course in Europe! Local Professional Mick Taylor says about 20 of his peer group, all South London Lads, became golf professionals like himself because of Beckenham Place Park. In Future This Opportunity will be denied local youngsters unless the Community Trust is successful
