Best Golf Courses in Hampstead, Greater london (2025)

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! 😀

Really lovely course, well kept. Would of given 5 stars if bunkers were proper sand. Most are dirt. Very challenging course, narrow fairways. Greens are perfect. They spray them to make them look extra green. Very hilly course so you have to be fit if walking! Buggies available. Good choice of food extensive menu. Staff all round are friendly and helpful. Definitely be playing here again.

Played on the excellent Heritage course in the Pro Am. A very challenging course with some interesting holes. The condition cannot be faulted in any way (maybe the rough a little high 😆). Lovely clubhouse and friendly staff. A great experience.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

My son and I tee'd off at 5pm. Perhaps the most challenging course to date, high handicapers should carry a dozen spare balls. Accuracy is rewarded, everything else is penalised by this course. Keep eagle eyes on your ball as fairly easy to lose in the rough. Perfect manicured fairways and fast undulating greens. We decided not to look for more than half a minute for our balls. Still could play only 14 holes before darkness. 1 birdie, two pars, and rest unmentionable for each of us.

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.

I finally got to play Highgate after winning a voucher at a charity golf day at my own club. Really worth the wait as was really impressed. Four of us played and had the best stableford comp we'd played for a while, all scoring really well. The course was in brilliant condition especially in comparison to the courses I've played recently that are struggling with keeping the fairways green with the heat and lack of rain. The greens and aprons where fantastic and the interesting topography made the course so much fun to plot around. I really liked the way you have a cross over of a few of the holes with this almost communal Plato adjoining them all made it really unique. After we finished our round we enjoyed a nice gin cocktail made from locally sourced Gin and did the usual assessment of the course and of course the round and the unanimous feed back was an amazing course we all wanted to get back play at the next opportunity.

I joined a few months ago, and the experience has just been fantastic! I didn't know anyone there, but has since gotten to know so many members, most of whom have been members there for 10+ year. It's just such a friendly community, and such an impressive collection of people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. The staff as well really make an effort to know everyone, which actually does make a difference. There's plenty of competitions and social events to get involved in, so I'm playing a lot more than I initially planned to... The fees I should say are very reasonable as well, compared to some other clubs I've inquired to. They have special rates for young professionals and students, so it's really worth a visit.

It’s better to make a reservation or wait until a person finishes. This place is usually busy. It’s a very good spot for a weekend getaway with friends or just by yourself. Very affordable and well maintained.

Got invited for an anniversary party a couple of weekends ago. Great location in that there are lots of free parking available, a major plus! However, getting there could be a trek as all around the whole area, there's a 20 mph speed limit so it's a bit of a crawl to get there. There are two floors for functions, upstairs and downstairs, each can accommodate 40-50 people comfortably and a licenced bar with a selection (on tap or bottles) of ales or lagers. Prices not dissimilar to what you'll normally pay outside in run of the mills pubs. This place also do catering for private functions, of course only cold or finger snacks and sandwiches, pies and sausage rolls etc. The staff working there are friendly and helpful too. I would recommend this place if you were to plan any private functions yourself.

Good value for money and in relatively good condition for October, however the course was generally a bit overgrown with sections of some greens unplayable. Some challenging holes but good for all levels of golfer. Better signage needed for where to go and for the closed footbridge.

Rating: 4 / 5

this is a very good course with quite a few challenges (i first played this course over 45 years ago but moved away). there were a few temporary greens in place due to the weather but perfectly playable. my only real complaint about the course is that the members seem to think that the course is there's and they broke the golden golf rule and would not let me play through even though i was behind them from the fifth hole, eventually i had to miss a hole to get in front as they were so slow and holding up play. the staff here were very pleasant and should be commended especially the lady in the clubhouse who explained everything about the course to me perfectly..

Overview— Beautiful and welcoming course that now boasts a vibrant cohort of young members - there is a great connection of respect between the older and younger people at the club. Course & Improvements— There have been significant improvements to the club house and course in the last few years — and there are more to come! The course drains really well during the winter months so you can play almost all year round without fear of a mud bath. Mark and the greens keepers are top notch at maintaining and fixing issues. Both tricky and rewarding — you’ve got to play well to shoot a good score round at HGC! It’s only a 9 hole but every hole is unique with its own challenges, there’s no filler holes. Culture— I found the environment to be very friendly — golf can be daunting to get into, the atmosphere here helped me feel comfortable to play a lot (just by booking on with random members) and get down from ~30 to ~13 HCP. There is a good mix of low, mid and high handicappers and they all play along side each other. This club was my first experience of golf (been here 2 years now) and after visiting other clubs I’m so thankful to have landed here. Hampstead Golf Club has a great opportunity to become a hidden gem of North London. It focuses on the importance aspects of tradition without making enemies of the future and the positive cultural change the game is going through. It marries the wonderful history of the game with a youthful outlook.

I have been and still am a member of many clubs however I have never come across such a welcoming group of golfers and staff. They make you feel at home to the, that you could almost turn up in your slippers, from the minute you get there. The course is challenging and kept in amazing condition and to be able to play nine holes in about 90 minutes virtually in the centre of London is a fantastic privilege. They have spent a lot of money on the course and facilities and to employ a drink on the terrace with views over London is magical. Well done Mark, Wendy and the team.
