Two Championship courses designed by Harry Colt in 1923, has hosted golf legends like Seve, Faldo, and Rose. Nestled in lush parkland in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, a perfect environment for a challenging round for all players with magnificent clubhouse rooms. .

In the thirteenth century the Clubhouse was known as the Manor of the More and later Cardinal Wolsey, Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon lived there.  A peace treaty with France was signed within its walls in 1525.

Berkhamsted Golf Club is set 600 feet up in the Chilterns, within one of the largest expanses of heathland in Hertfordshire and golf on this common land dates back to 1874. In 1890, the golf club was officially inaugurated, making it Hertfordshire’s oldest golf club alongside Chorleywood, which was also founded in 1890.

As golf grew in popularity around the turn of the 20th century, the club commissioned Harry Colt in 1910 to extend the course to 18 holes. In 1926, the Great Revisionist, James Braid, was called in to redesign and extend the course.

If you like golf as nature intended, or if sand bunker play is not a strong part of your game, you’ll love it here. In the same vein as Royal Ashdown Forest, there is not one single sand trap at Berkhamsted. But don’t be lulled into a false sense of security and assume that the golf here is easy. Nature’s challenges are in abundance, waiting to test the most able golfer – heather, gorse, bracken and trees.
