Best Golf Courses in Whetstone, Greater london (2025)

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

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.

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.

Thank you to the friendly and well-informed staff at The Grove. On 26 June 2023, we had a very special celebration that called for a bottle of pink champagne and a very special lunch. The waitress talked me through the gf menu which basically included everything on the menu bar one thing. They cook their food on site and are willing to adjust for food allergies. It's the first time in years I've had fish and chips! And they were delicious. When it came to paying the bill, we were told that because of our celebrations, the bottle of champagne was on the house. Wow! We were so impressed. Then they presented a plate of macaroons and fruit with a piped 'Congratulations' in chocolate. I almost cried at their consideration. Thank you The Grove!

Played a bunch of times with a pal of mine who is a member and we always get looked after because of him. Booked to play on Saturday just gone, and my pal got ill. The club still honoured his booking and treated us (non-members) but as a members friend just like we were members. They didn't need to, but they went over and above. Big shout outs to Carlos, Oliver, Fenella and Jack.

A fantastic course. Impeccable greens, well kept fairways with decent tees, plus nice sand in the bunkers. A nice setup for all the holes with good challenges, but nothing too difficult. So great for most level of golfers. I wouldn't recommend getting buggies though as they must remain on the cart path. In some ways that's good as it keeps the fairways in good nick, however, there can be more walking and time spent to get the right club. The service was brilliant from conversations with Tom who dealt with all my groups needs and making it perfect for the day, with Alice who looked after all of us brilliantly. There was a lot of nice little touches - with individual gold name tags for our bags, a lovely pouch with The Grove tees and pitch repair. Alice made sure my cakes were cut up and ready at the halfway house before hole 10, and took a load of nice pictures of us on the first tee. Really impressed with the overall experience with a big Thank You to Tom and Alice who made my 50th really unforgettable.

It's a must. The staff were fantastic the reception I got was out of this world from start to finish. Other than the 22 mile per hour winds we had to play in. The course was fantastic. Also after your game. They're clean your clubs shoes. Various other things it was just amazing. Thank you to the Grove and all the staff it was amazing experience. And we'll definitely. Will be coming. again.

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!

There is plenty to do at the Foxhills country club ideal for family's couples or a solo break to get away. The reception staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. They gave clear directions and went out of thier way to direct us to our room. The room was lovely it was bright and spacious the beds were extremely comfortable. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Played the charming Par 3 Manor course. Was in good condition, only a few pairs playing, a great way to perfect your short game. They serve a great pint of regular Guinness, none of that 'cold or extra cold' rubbish 😄

We had a wonderful weekend stay at Fox Hill last year, and I’m just now getting around to writing this review! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly professional, helpful, and attentive, making us feel right at home. The hotel itself is charming, with so much to do on-site, including swimming, tennis, or simply unwinding in the spa. If you enjoy afternoon tea, I can’t recommend it enough—it was truly exquisite. We also dined at the a la carte restaurant, and the food was nothing short of amazing, with impressive attention to detail. Breakfast was another highlight, offering plenty of choices, and the cooked breakfast was absolutely delicious. Overall, we had an exceptional experience, and I highly recommend Fox Hill to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

We visited the club as guests of a member. Absolutely amazing place, from the minute we arrived and the greetings plus service from the staff.The quality of presentation of facilities in the club house and restaurants and bar were outstanding. The history and memorabilia are brilliant and a remarkable history of golf The course is fabulous and every hole is a new vista and a delight. The whole place is beyond superlatives. If you get the chance to visit and play this is a once in a lifetime experience.

An excellent course for the PGA Golf Tournament. The buses from Ascot ran smoothly every 5 to 10 mins back and forth. Amazing views while walking between holes the course facilities were set out very well with coverage and stands located in perfect places. The grandstand views were fantastic. An overall excellent experience well worth the money per ticket.

Vibrant and friendly community, matched by equally superb golf.

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.

Is so beautiful 😍 but I love the one time to play. I love too Lerner

I was lucky enough to visit from the Gold Coast, Australia. David and the team were so welcoming. The course was in fantastic condition, and the greens were absolutely immaculate, the best I've played. I found it very challenging as this was my first experience with a links style course. There are a lot of interesting holes and a lot of blind shots that make it challenging without some local knowledge. I certainly would have scored a lot higher but was lucky enough to play with some friendly members.

Rating: 5 / 5

One of my favourite local courses and arguably one of the best. It plays better in winter than most given the sandy sub soil. It’s an inland links and when the wind is up it can really feel like a true links. Condition is always outstanding and greens as good as it gets. The practice facilities are great and right in the door step of the club house which is also great.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Have played at a number of local premium courses over the last few weeks but this is a true gem. Played here yesterday as Batchworth and Moor Park closed due to rain. Well done to the team at Sandy, the course is in pristine condition. The clubhouse is also extremely inviting and the staff are well trained.

Lovely, friendly members golf club. The course has undergone lots of work over the last 18 months and is now in superb condition. Great clubhouse, attentive staff and a tricky 18th hole! ⛳
