West Herts Golf Club

The opening hole at West Herts Golf Club sets the tone: short but strategic, with bunkers that must be avoided from the tee. That kind of precision runs through this private parkland course in Watford, England, which has been shaped over more than a century by four architects — Old Tom Morris, J.H. Taylor, H.S. Colt, and Alister Mackenzie. The layout plays across tree-lined fairways with well-bunkered greens, all sitting on a gravel over chalk sub-soil that influences pace and drainage. The 18-hole, par-72 course is rated 4.7 by 100+ Hole19 golfers and is a popular round among Hole19 golfers in England. A driving range is open daily from 8:30 am (Thursdays from 11 am). The club also has a Pro Shop and four function and event spaces.
