Malden Golf Course is situated on what was once Norbiton Common, and later became part of Hoppingwood Farm. The name Hoppinge is very old and may be the ancient name for flat land either side of a river (in this case Beverley Brook), perhaps referring to land where hops grew wild. The farm disappeared from maps after 1911. The golf course was opened in 1926. It is bisected by an east-west footpath which connects the A3 Beverley Way with Cambridge Avenue in New Malden. This gives views of the golf course, which is otherwise private. This is the southern part of the golf course, close to the footpath. The Beverley Brook runs through this part of the golf course in the distance.
