Very welcoming club who take a lot of pride in their course. In excellent condition and offers a very good variety of holes.

An excellent course with very friendly staff and members.
The back night was particularly challenging with some very kept greens and bunkers. Will play again.

You may have seen this course !
Potters Bars is the course you pass on the main line about 15 minutes out of Kings Cross . I'd seen it many times and passed it on summer evenings when not many golfers seemed to be out there . Finally got to play it on my birthday . Super course , James Braid layout , not too long , starts with some shortish par fours , some longer holes later on . Nice group of par 3s . In good condition even on a bad weather day .Little hilly in places so you might need a buggy , and one or two holes criss cross a bit .
Gary G A'ris , the club pro , was very very friendly and helpful , as were all the staff we met . Gary told us about Tony Jacklin and Alex Hay who were both associated with the club .
Should imagine a good venue for a group or society visit . Green fees have been kept low in the afternoons to try and attract visitors .

wonderful course in excellent condition..
there are a few minor issues such as not having sand repairs on all par 3's but this is minor..
all in all excellent value at £90 for a four-ball..

A club with a very interesting heritage. For example, this is where Tony Jacklin started his golfing career. Have a look on their website (which portrays the club rather too modestly).
Played on a Monday morning for a mere £15. So lets face it...who's going to moan about that?
The staff in the clubhouse were very friendly as was the professional in the shop.
Potters Bar is a pretty parkland course with a tranquil feeling to it (okay, there's the busy London / to the north railway alongside holes 2 to 4, but personally I've always liked seeing trains whistle by a golf course).
Course itself was in very nice condition with the fairways having plenty of life in them despite a recent and prolonged spell of very dry weather. This made ball striking from the springy surfaces a pleasure. The rough is not in any way penal and much of the areas beneath the trees lining the majority of the fairways has been cleared out. This kept any ball searching time to a minimum (which is always a welcome scenario). The greens were running very true and at guess around a very manageable 9 to 9.5 on the stimpmeter. If you did (and I'm certainly not) have a moan, you could say that certain bunkers require attention. Personally, the solitary one I played from was top class (think of Sunningdale's shallow but perfectly filled ones with that grey gritty sand)...however, in all honesty some of those I walked by should be deemed GUR. The club have filled several of these in, so they are now grass bunkers featuring growing gorse bushes (which look far more picturesque). I'd imagine / hope several more of the more tired bunkers will be similarly converted.
As a challenge I'd have to say that on a calm day you should rack up plenty of stableford points as generous fairways and receptive, smooth greens (although small in some cases) won't provide a Carnoustie or Aldeburgh type test. But if it's a very pleasant days golf, generally devoid of irritating hacking in search for balls (though you may still have to chip out sideways!) in a peaceful setting you're after then this is well worth a try...I'd suggest something around the £35 mark for a midweek round (and about a tenner more at weekends) is more than fair.
The standout hole for me is the 180 or so yard par three 11th. Played downhill to a two-tiered green. Pretty flora at the rear of the green and not so attractive (but still a great feature) hollows to the left.
Well worth a visit.

A fabulous course, with a very hospitable membership. You can see the effort and money that has been put into the course, and the dividends have been well and truly reaped.

Also they had a karcher jet wash and they cleaned my trolley.
