We had our Christmas Do at The Golf Groove. The customer service was beyond exceptional. There was so much attention to detail. From greeting us on arrival with an envelope of organised drinks tokens as part of our package, giving training aid grips for those new to golf, the bar staff remembering orders making you feel like a true local… and just so much more. Food unreal, drinks great, golf a blast! We had a brilliant time and I’d recommend the Golf Groove to anyone!

Been coming here for a while now and have been for many reasons. You're always welcomed with a friendly smile at reception and the rest of the team are just as nice! Started out with a work from clubhouse day where you get to enjoy 30 minutes in a bay, coffee, and a small plate for an extremely good price. This is something I do regularly to change up the remote working. I've been taking lessons with Dean Wingrove and these have completely changed my golf game and how I approach my swing. I'm relatively new to Golf and Dean has a fantastic way of explaining things in a way you can understand and his years of experience shine through. The Golf Groove are lucky to have a coach like him as part of their team. There are always events happening and they show the sport whenever it's on. A pretty decent drink selection and one of the better pours of Guinness in the area.

We had an amazing experience at the Golf Groove. We eloped yesterday and were looking to have a fun memorable experience with our friends after the ceremony. I am so happy that we went with Golf Groove because it has been the absolute best day! From the moment that we enquired about it, everyone has been extremely friendly and warm and helpful. The guy with the blonde hair has been the absolute nicest. On the day, everything was organized really well, Katie was an absolute angel. She was so attentive and managed everything amazingly for us. We got 3 golf bays and tried golfing and other games. There was a very nice and friendly guide who helped us through the games. He made the experience even more fun. The food was absolutely perfect! So delicious! We got some of the sharing platters and all of them were absolutely delicious, my personal favourite was the Salt and Pepper Squid. The place is also really spacious and beautiful, it’s really cozy. But the best part of the place is the customer service; Katie and Alex are the absolute best! I did not get everyone’s name but a very special thanks to each and everyone at Golf Groove for making this day special for us. We loved it! We will definitely be coming back and recommend Golf Groove to everyone we know!

Great course, facilities and clubhouse. A few challenging holes, especially visually over water. Accurate driving is paramount with the rough/fescue being fairly pronounced. Weather comes into play big time due to its location and being exposed to elements. Make sure to get a buggy as distance from green to the next tee is generally far. Definitely one to revisit. The pro shop is well stocked and the food is pretty decent.

I was really impressed with the amount of definition the green keepers were able to get into the fairways for the time of year. The course looked great. I had called the day before to enquire about getting a round and the Pro was very help and also honest enough to inform me that the greens had been freshly sanded that week so I should consider coming before making the trip. Undeterred I’m glad I did go as it was a real gem. Some really good looking holes and a challenging course. A lot of the tee boxes were temps but it still played really long especially with the wind up. I would certainly go back to play when the greens are at the best too, a really lovely club and course.

On behalf of Connie Reynolds: After having an excellent afternoon tea at Langley Park Golf Club I booked another to take a party of ladies from a group I belong to. The sandwiches and cakes were fresh and delicious. The service was good all in a beautiful setting. I would highly recommend it.

Lovely venue hall for holding a reception gathering or party. Parking, bar and friendly staff

Rating: 5 / 5

Friendly, not busy and cheap membership by London standards. Although it's a 9 hole, it's a proper golf course with many holes needing a driver and mid to long iron to reach the green. Beyond that, it's quite nice that it's a nine hole, you can get round in an hour and a half and still have time for the rest of your life. The greenkeepers do a great job of keeping standards up on a relatively shoestring budget.

Nice golf course with challenging par 3 and 4 holes. Plays longer in the winter and provides a challenge.

Course is in great condition now and greens are at their usual best. You may even get a glimpse of the baby deer running around the 12th green. Bunkers are back to being nice and sandy

Excellent golf club. Course is very well kept, well done the groundsmen! Fairways are lovely, been well watered so a joy to play even in the hight summer. Greens are very fast and challenging. The club house is very nice with a lovely view of the course. Staff are all very friendly and there is a very good choice of beers and spirits at the bar. Nice changing rooms clean and even a sauna. Really picturesque course couldn't find a fault definitely will be coming here again soon.

My husband and I had our Indian Pre Wedding event here, and we have nothing but positive feedback for the Hendon Golf Club team. To start, our requirements were met with ease, Malachy and his entire team were beyond accommodating and nothing was too much for them. Our guests were blown away with the event, and I truly believe that this is down to the venue. The views of the golf course from the decking area, which we used for our food service, allowed for guests to relax and enjoy their meal with great views. To the entire team at HGC, we thank you so much. Our event was everything we could've wished for, and more. We'd highly recommend booking the space for any events!

Hendon golf club was perfect venue for our events. The grounds gave a beautiful backdrop and the facilities were of high standard. Can’t thank the staff enough for being so helpful and amazing. Thank you very much for making both our functions very memorable.

This golf course is absolutely amazing. I haven't been able to play yet but I've been up there a few times. The staff are all really nice and helpful. Foods also really really good 👍

This could be my new favourite golf course. It seems the perfect London golf club offering variety, charm, challenge, and manicured greens. Lovely warm welcome from the pro shop on my first visit this morn. While I can get rounds for £28 I’ll keep coming!

This is an absolutely gorgeous place! Somehow affiliated with Canada the place features more beaver 🦫 figures and impressions than I've ever seen (including one on the club's arms). Beautiful greens, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff - a worthwhile experience! Their Pro Shop offers a nice selection of golfing tools and attire, too

Wonderful oasis of a golf club in London. Superb club house. Golf course is good , quite flat. Greens a bit slow. The back drop of the club house makes it . Course a good parkland course. Short par fives. Food and bar delightful.Staff excellent

The Club on the top of the hill, has a good view, I like it! Fairways good , greens a little fast.

Rating: 4 / 5

A golf course with a tale of two halves - The first half is a short but tight track with no real stand out holes apart from maybe the 2nd which has a tight and blind tee shot. From home 9 onwards the track really comes into it's own. The fairways and greens were in great condition with only a few dry patches around some areas. I played during a twighlight time and the course was relatively quiet. Would play again.

Visited as a guest at a wedding reception. What a fantastic venue! Great facilities, attentive staff and situated in an idyllic setting with great views over Epping Forest. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great course, not too long and not too narrow, but still a decent challenge, especially if you don't get your drive away or if you don't know your yardages with your irons. Greens in decent shape given that we played towards the end of October after a week of rain. Good little hut serving bacon/sausage baps and hot/cold drinks. Great views of the ever growing London skyline from the holes at the highest point of the course (and the club house). Also saw a giant mushroom! 😀

The course itself is famous for having been designed by Seve Ballesteros and for having 6 of each of the par 3's, 4's & 5's. It is a challenging parkland course with a lot of water hazards strategically placed with the first hole being a medium length par 3 with the green protected with a pond at the front and sides. That fact kind of sets you up nicely to know what's coming for the rest of the round. The course itself was beautifully maintained with the fairways being pretty immaculate and cut into some interesting slopes amongst the trees. I was very fortunate to be able to play this course the day before a PGA qualifying event. The greens had been cut and ironed and had that crunch feel that you get when your shoes break the surface almost like walking on a frosty puddle. To say they were fast was an understatement and they were very consistent giving a very even roll. I played from the Diamond (White) tees and found it to be quite a long course. The course flows beautifully never having that up and back feel and is cut into the contours of the land giving a great variety of tee shots and approaches. There were only two draw backs to my mind. The rough was brutal and combined with the water means that any errors were punished severely, so a good supply of balls is advisable. Also like a few other courses I have played, there are electrical lines crossing part of the course, here being a par 3. So I got a free reload having struck my tee shot beautifully and hitting a wire, but that didn't really make up for the lost ball and second, not so great strike, at the same hole. The course does offer some great views of itself from the tees and the way it cuts through various copse means that considered play is essential. The club house was very nice with plenty of pictures of Seve to admire. It is definitely one that i would like to play again and would do so on a regular basis with the undulations and water providing a variety of challenges.

Great course. Very challenging with lots of water hazards and narrow fairways. Make sure you have a good few extra balls! Greens are superb whole course is very well looked after. Club house is very nice and modern. Good selection of beers and spirits. Good choice of food, very nice and well presented. Definitely be playing here again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Seve designed. Played here quite a few times and it remains one of the toughest golf challenges you can get! Every hole and indeed every shot has to be hit well or it will cost you shots. Greens are perfect...very undulating and as quick as any you've played. Loads of water and it all is in play. It will beat you up if you give it a chance, and can even if you don't! Well worth a visit. Club house lovely and views of "S" last green breath taking.

Enjoyable Sunday roast. Friendly and polite service. Atmosphere and decor a little bland but good food and drink. Good party venue with great views towards London.

We had attended a funeral for our cousin and this was the venue for afterwards. The food was excellent and the staff were very efficient.

Rating: 5 / 5

3rd time visiting and it's always a treat. Well worth the green fees. Highlights: pure quality of greens and overall course. Lowlights: £3.15 for a sausage in a dry bun along with the bar not being open until 11am (thus no breakfast!).

Rating: 4 / 5

Extensive and beautifully landscaped golf course that has opened its doors during lockdown to allow non-members to explore its rolling spaces. A secret oasis of green normally hidden from the public's eyes - lets hope it isn't closed off again for ever more when the lockdown ends.

The new course investment makes it the best course for miles. Seriously good now

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent old traditional club! The course has had a lot of good work done to it, much improved!
