Home of the Ryder Cup ! Sam Ryder used to be a member here, apparently.
Course in v good condition, with beautiful greens.
Bit noisy on the 1st, 2nd and 18th holes as very close to London-Midlands railway line. Some challenging holes. One particular hole (11th) aims straight towards St Albans Abbey and is recommended for the view.
Clubhouse well known for quality of its food too. Recommended.

Very nice course although some of the holes are rather easy for "big hitters". A little slow too (on the day)as there was a society on the course where one of the lady players had never played before and we counted at least 14 shots on the 12th. Marshalls required!

Interesting, tight course, good condition but a little noisy

An interesting but tricky course with a good variety of holes and nice elevation changes. Condition was good, excellent bunkers and greens. The putting surfaces were very quick and had a lot of contours to make you think. The first two holes are notable for the railway line rather than anything else but after that it got more interesting, the subtle dog legs are nice and out of bounds a risk on lots of holes which puts the pressure on tee shots and approach shots. Most holes are pretty tight as well, little margin for error and if you are off the fairway there is only a small amount of rough before bushes and trees.
The 3rd hole had lovely views of Sopwell House and the 11th has a great view of St Albans Abbey in the distance. The 14th was my favourite hole, a attractive curve uphill to the left with the river Ver on the right. I also enjoyed the 17th, it may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's the only short par 3 on the course so it felt like a welcome relief to have an easier one.
The biggest negative for me was the noise from the A414 road. I thought the trains going past would be the bigger distraction but actually they are not too frequent and are only really noticeable from certain parts of the course. But the loud hum of road traffic is pretty constant, especially on holes 3 - 9, and I think this would put me off joining as a member even though it's the closest course to where I live.
There are good practice facilities although you have to cross the 11th fairway to get to the main practice ground and there was a little confusion as to whether or not non members were allowed to use this.
I would like to return again some day as a visitor, however, at £58 for a weekend round it's a little steep (I think in some ways you are paying for the historic Ryder cup connection), so will try to play mid-week next time.

No pick and place

1st course I've played since winter where you play the ball as it lies- no muddy balls- greens are sanded but had been done very well so minimal impact on putting

Lovely course

Playing Verulam for the first time in December, I probably didn't see the course at its best. That said, despite the damp conditions, I loved playing here. The tees were in excellent condition, the greens were smooth and quick, and the fairways were well worth finding.

The course unusually only has three par 3's and three par 5's, and while there are lots of trees to been seen, mostly the fairways are pretty generous and allow you to go with the driver from the tee.

There were lots of lovely looking holes, my favourite was probably the scenic 14th where water comes into play down the right hand side from the tee, but the hole which sticks out is the 17th. The 17th is a short par 3 that gets played over a fairly busy back road. There's a net to stop you from hitting the cars, but still...

The clubhouse and the welcome, both there and in the pro shop, were excellent. I can also recommend the huge bowl of chips from the bar menu.

(Round played: Dec 2017 - Score: 100 Handicap: 20.1)
