What the club says: The superb course was designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie and used as an Open Regional Qualifier for the South of England from 2000 to 2005. Our impeccable facilities are set in an imposing Georgian Clubhouse built in 1781 and is located in a beautiful and peaceful parkland setting off the beaten track, but still only 11 miles from the centre of London.

HW is a challenging but interesting course. A number of two tier greens with some subtle breaks albeit that these were rather two paced. The course is having renovation done currently and should be in good shape after this but it was a little shabby around the edges at the time of my visit. Clubhouse, food and service were top notch with excellent attention from the staff.

Interesting track, major works being done on drainage, which has
clearly caused problems through winter.
Greens are very undulating & must be tricky in the summer.
Shame the members dont care enough to repair all their pitch marks
& divots, the greens resembled the moons surface.

Food was excellent & staff are very helpful.
Great clubhouse & facilities.

Well worth a summer visit once works been completed

Nice but........

Hospitality was top notch. The welcome in the Clubhouse was brilliant. Food was tremendous.
Unfortunately, the course was not in it's best condition. Clearly the fairways suffered in last years hot spell and there are many signs of bare patches. The rough likewise suffered and is very patchy. The greens are very good, but were significantly two paced.
There's a huge amount of drainage work going on (18th hole was shut) and I wouldn't want to play here again until all that work has settled down and been proved to improve conditions.
Additionally, a pitch repairer clearly isn't part of the member's golfing kit. We repaired more pitch marks than we should have had to at a Club of this stature (and price range).

Very friendly club, course a little disappointing

Greens in great shape but fairways struggling for grass given the recent hot conditions. A surprising negative point was the poor quality of sand in the bunkers, coarse and stony, for a course of this standard and fees not good enough. First time playing and there were a couple of not obvious green to tee links on the 3/4 and 9/10. Very friendly pro, bar staff and members.

Nice, but soggy!

A nice course with really good greens, but was very soggy compared to many other local courses. I am pleased to say that there was a good amount of drainage work going on, which I am sure will help a lot for next Autumn/Winter.

Wait until the major maintenance completed

We played mid Jan & although it hadn't rained for a week the course really hadn't drained well & their investment in corrected that was evident on several holes on the F9. As well as heavy going from tee to green the latter were very slow. I'm really looking forward to going back for a twilight in high summer because it's a great course & really worth seeing at its best.

Well worth it

Beautiful course, each hole was unique. It was in fantastic condition and the greens were amazing. Very quick and undulating. Lots of 3 puts, but lots of holed puts as well (just need to be a genius to get the line. Love the day and will be back, even though a pretty hefty price tag.

Challenging

The greens had recently been renovated so it was difficult to judge how good the greens could be. Generally there was good, lush grass cover on all playing surfaces and the bunkers were in good condition, but the course could have been kept a little tidier on that particular day/week. All in all a stunning venue and a course I would certainly play again.

Best course in North London

Well conditioned Alister Mackenzie designed parkland gem. Always fantastically well conditioned when I've played it. It may appear generous off most of the tees but the difficulty lies in not only hitting the (frequently raised) Mackenzie greens but in making sure you are the right side of the pin. If not, good luck!

Lovely clubhouse, warm welcome, good food, and excellent practice facilities to boot.

Superb golf course, always a challenge

Hadley Wood is a classic MacKenzie course, each hole is a challenge and there are some birdie chances than can quickly turn into double bogey unless you concentrate.
Greens are in great condition, as are the practice facilities.

Friendly Parkland Gem

I was pleasantly surprised to find an Alister MacKenzie designed course I could reach by public transport, could afford, and which would let me on to play! The course is just a short walk from Hadley Wood rail station so for a visitor to London it's an excellent option. Pro was very welcoming, rental clubs were a mixed bag but the AP2 irons were fine. Bring water! There's none on the course and the turn isn't until the 11th. The course itself is wide open tee to green and easy to walk. The greens are really the only defense against posting a low score - they're multi-tiered and moderately quick so you'll need to make a lot of six footers if you're an aggressive putter. As an overall layout this would be just a mid-level test where I live in New England, but this close to London, this affordable (GBP60) and this friendly, it's an easy four stars!
