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)

- 16th Par 4 Sweeping dog leg
Enjoyed it so much played another round in the afternoon. Looking forward to the next round here.

The course is quite open with holes running close together which means that occasionally you have players crossing paths. The back 9 is the better of the two stretches with some interesting holes. Some par 5s should really be par 4s. Greens were in great condition, but quite tricky with lots of break.

lovely surprise i the heart of London
Course conditions are quite muddy requiring a fairway mat to be used.Greens are quite slow and soft due to extreme winter conditions.
The course flows very nicely with a good variety of challenging, tight fairways, then par 5's
that are achievable, par 3's have a nice variety of short and long holes.
Still an enjoyable winter round.

Reviewed Jun 11 2025
Having played here often enough, the course has ways been of the highest standard during summer with lush fairways & rapid greens but the recent dry weather has really hindered recovery from the ravages of use over winter & there are too many bare patches on the fairways where it’s still pick up & place until July, but especially near the greens & plenty of really poor lies were evident. The back 9 was better but in its current condition be prepared to be disappointed with what you get for what the visitor is being charged & suggest deferring your trip to July. It’s still a great course but it’s worrying how wet it gets in winter & summer play isn’t yet compensating that.

Always an enjoyable Braid designed course with open but tree lined fairways. Good challenges. Fairways recovering well from winter & greens approaching their prime. Certainly the best I’ve played this year.

First signs of holding the water on the course. Greens soft & slower. Fairways softer & rough wet & harder to hit through. Even some tees were squishy. Adapt to the conditions or fail. Option B for me. Still a great course but will wait fir some dryer days before returning

Unfortunate circumstances meant the course was under water for most of it. Discounting that for the purposes of the review; you can easily see the club needs an injection of sorts to revitalise what is clearly a great setting and foundation of a courseReviewer Rating

Finchley really comes into its own in Summer. Greens very rapid. Toughest hole reachable in 2. Fairways were ok but thought they?d be more lush. Bunkers very variable. The feature 12th seemed to have concrete 1 inch below the surface. V disappointed kitchen closed again.

It's a nice course and a stunning club house. It has some open par 5's and almost drivable par 4's so you can score really well especially in the winter months. It also has some card wrecking holes, particularly the signature 12th hole, which can be a nightmare in the summer. The courses main protection is its fast greens which can be on the edge of playable in the summer. It's definitely worth playing and I'd recommend being a member too.Reviewer Rating
