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 known par threes in the south of England.

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

Haven't played here for years. A very mature hilly parkland course. Lots of blind shots over ridges. Overall in good condition but some bunkers had water in them and sand was soggy.

Tired Clubhouse and Course
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.

Previously a member
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
