Highgate Golf Club, located in London, offers golf as it should be. Just 25 minutes from King's Cross, this private golf course provides a superb, testing, and enjoyable 18-hole course set in an island of tranquilly, overlooking North London.
Highgate's undulating parkland layout rewards creativity and shot-making, providing a fair challenge for golfers of all abilities. The course measures 6,033 yards from the back tees and has a par of 69. While it may be compact, the course offers flexibility for a quick round before work or a leisurely nine holes with a drink on the terrace during a lovely summer's evening.
Established in 1904, this leafy, parkland course was designed by C. S. Butchart on 83 acres of land that was once part of the hunting estate of the Bishops of London. Although the course has retained many of its original features, the layout was changed in 1928 to accommodate the construction of the Bishopswood Reservoir by the Metropolitan Water Board.
This reservoir currently stores 40 million litres of water and is vital for the water supply in North London.
The White tee course measures 6,033 yards with a par 69 and a standard scratch of 70. The ladies' course measures just under 5,500 yards with a par of 72 and a standard scratch of 72. Highgate Golf Club offers a test of golf to those who play it, with the current amateur course record of 66 achieved in 1984. This record, although matched, has never been beaten.
For those looking to experience golf in a peaceful and picturesque setting, Highgate Golf Club provides the ideal location. The club can be easily reached by public transport, with Charing Cross, Bank, and Green Park Stations only 40 minutes away. Whether visiting or considering a membership, Highgate Golf Club offers an elite golfing experience in the heart of London.
