What the club says: Finchley is set in the grounds of an imposing Victorian stately home that has served as the clubhouse for more than 70 years. The panorama below shows the view from the Veranda of the clubhouse, where you can relax and enjoy a drink and some food after your round while watching the action on the 12th, 13th and 18th holes.
The 6,356 yard, par 72 wooded, picturesque, parkland course is recognised as the finest challenge of golf in London. Designed by five-times Open winner James Braid, his short, uphill 12th hole, "Braid's Masterpiece", is one of the best know par threes in the south of England.

Reviewed Oct 26 2019 by Tony B - rated 5 out of 5 Excellent course. Well worth a visit
Finchley is a great test of your all round game. Narrow fairways, plenty of OOB, and undulating, quick greens, even in the very wet conditions played in today. A great mix of holes, ranging from short to long par 3's, 4's and 5's which made the round really enjoyable. There's few warm up nets, a small chipping area alongside and quite a small putting green, which if I was being over critical could do with being relocated from its present position and made a bit larger, it really is too small. The imposing historical looking clubhouse is welcoming and adds a touch of character to the place and the hospitality is first rate. There's a good selection of beer and excellent catering on hand. I'm going to return in the summer, as I'd like to see Finchley as its best. It was a tough test in the wet, windy conditions, but a thoroughly enjoyable one.(Round played: Oct 2019 - Score: 92 Handicap: 19)

Course in reasonable condition, greens fast especially given time of year, a number of the fairways suffering from lack of grass, particularly 16th where ball rolled backwards over 50 yards on approach shot. Pace of play good until hit a slow competition three ball.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Sep 18 2018 by Eddie M - rated 4 out of 5 Good greens
The greens were some of the best I have played this year, the fairways and tees were suffering from the hot summer. The first is a very short downhill par 4, the last is a great looking hole, but has a ditch across the fairway hidden from the tee at 210 yards (filling this ditch in would make this a great finishing hole), I dropped a shot after hitting a good drive into the ditch that I didn't know was there. The rest of the course has some interesting holes, the par fives are a bit generous (this would probably be a strong par 70). You can use tee times website to get very good value green fees.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Sep 17 2018 by Giless C - rated 3 out of 5 Hidden away, tight acreage but used it well. Not as tough a walk as I had been told. Very good practise nets, chipping and putting area, course clearly marked and colour coded flags. Greens excellent, 10 on the stimp, firm and fairly sloped. Lovely scenery.
Fairways were average after the dry summer. First hole is silly, a par 4 you could stick an iron close to. Tenth has the same problem but would make a nice tough par 3 with an elevated tee. Last hole is spectacular but has a hidden open ditch. Forcing a lay up if you know it’s there. Desperately needs filling in and the drive tightening.
That said, overall very enjoyable far superior to south Herts at the moment, under rated on here.

Reviewed Aug 13 2018 by Jiten P - rated 2 out of 5 Highly priced but Weak course layout
Finchley seems to be an over priced course for what it offers. Facilities are good however the course itself has a very weak layout, with a cluster of tee boxes and greens close to each other. Expect to be hearing a lot of 'fore' when you play here. Poor design takes away from what could be a great course.Course (layout/challlenge)
