What The Club Says
Our challenging par 72 course was designed by James Braid and we are now well into our second century as a thriving members’ club situated in the heart of historic St Albans, known as Verulamium in Roman times.
We take great pride both in the year round condition of our course and also in the pace and subtlety of our greens, arguably the finest in Hertfordshire. You can always be assured of a challenging but fair test.

It’s hardly changed at all!
It can get busy at times with a large wealthy community nearby.
Get it early summer and it’s in great condition, unfortunately, as summer progresses it get hard and bouncy

Not quite at its best yet
Plenty of work going on around the fairways & 6 holes with bunkers out of play. But it’s coming through winter nicely & greens starting to speed up nicely. Should be looking pretty unbeatable in the next 2 weeks.Reviewer Rating

Over priced..
A course that trades on the fact Samual Ryder was a member, but that's about a the best thing about it. To be fair the Greens were good, consistent and true and the fairways were decent but the course itself is a strange layout. Crossing fairways, crossing and playing over roads is a bit disconcerting. The members aren't very welcoming and are very ?up them selves? making it a little awkward at times. There are better courses to play in the area, so unless you have a burning desire to play here, go play one of the other better courses around St Albans/Harpenden.Reviewer Rating

Unfortunately the weather was very wet and it was quickly evident why it was carry only. There is also an amount of work being carried, including new bunkers. Would like to go back in the summer as I believe it will play very differently.Reviewer Rating

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 puttingReviewer Rating
