What the club says: The course, which is kept in excellent condition and open all year round (weather permitting), has a well-deserved reputation for being suitable for all categories of golfers and 'The Common' as stated by Ken Brown, is one of the most friendly Golf Clubs in Hertfordshire. Hertfordshire County Scratch and Tigers matches are regularly played here as well as a full programme of Mens, Seniors, Ladies, Juniors and Mixed Competitions.
Harpenden Common golf course has eleven holes set on the Common and a further seven holes which were designed by Ken Brown in 1996. As you will see from the course planner, the first is a par 4. This runs past the clubhouse parallel to the 18th. As you move round the course each hole has its own character.

Perfect Rehab
One of our group, an elderly player coming back from illness was comfortably able to play this flattest of courses with the aid of a buggy. Ideal. Bunkers were all GUR which also helped. Nice course & will return under similar circumstances. Greens were well paced & well maintained as were the fairways but generally prefer something less sedate.Reviewer Rating

Played in full sunshine, lovely conditions. Some of the best greens I've played in a long time, very pretty course. Only issue is the plethora of people walking their dogs everywhere and unfortunately not cleaning up after them.

Nice course, in very good condition well laid out with slick greens
It's not n common land so dog walkers wandering about was a little annoying but otherwise very nice course and friendly clubhouse staff served good food.
Only downside was only two tucked away practice nets and a long walk to the practice putting area

Flat parkland course. Lovely condition. Played well with good weather. Greens fast but true. Again, like most courses the bunkers are a bit thin on sand but managed to avoid all but one.

Nothing spectacular but just a very solid golf course
Played here on a windy old day. Course is an old style layout, short but by no means easy. The wind presented quite a challenge and there are some very sloping greens. The course looked immaculate but the greens were nowhere near as fast as they looked. MOst holes are straight with the occasional dogleg. The short pa 4 7th is particularly memorable, as is the par 5 3rd, where I ended up hitting across the corner of a B road!Reviewer Rating

Flat parkland course, slow play
Mainly flat parkland course, first few holes very muddy even though not much recent rain. A few interesting holes but had the overriding feeling of back and forth. Some enormous greens and greens in very good condition. Very slow players. Fairways being spiked.Reviewer Rating

Good
Fairly open course with a nice variety of holes including some quite tough par 3's. Some long par 4's and some short ones.Bunkers good- what is it with eyebrows? Grren were quick and at times difficult to read so dont be surprised if your puts swings away from the hole when you not expecting it. Excellent clubhouse.Reviewer Rating

Course in good condition - easily walkable which allows for players of all ages and abilities. Front 9, more of a parkland set-up, with the majority of the back 9, more open with wider fairways and more bunkers.

Playing off the yellows, qiute short but very tricky to start, tight fairways with lots of trees to worry about until the 12th when it opens up a lot. Greens were in excellent condition, fast but true. Good test for an average player, would certainly give it another go.Reviewer Rating
