The London Golf Club

The International Course is chalk-based, meaning even in the winter months the greenkeepers can maintain the course to the highest standard. The visitors’ course has many stand out holes with a cracking opening par 5 that asks you a question straight away with water down the righthand side leading up to the front edge of the green. The signature stretch of holes has to be the 12th and 13th. The 12th is a 190 yards downhill par 3 with water up to the front of the green that you need to carry, only the brave will take the pin on here with most bailing out to the left. Once you have safely navigated the 12th the par 5 13th asks even more questions, will you follow the conventional route or take the tight line down the left which requires a 220 yard carry over the pond for your second shot to make the green in two.

When you finish your round, your clubs are collected and whisked away to be cleaned and you can relax in the delightful spike bar which looks back out over the courses and the lovely rolling views that form The London Golf Club. This course definitely has the potential to host hallowed events such as the Solheim Cup or Ryder Cup and it would be our pick to host something in the not too distant future.
