The Best Golf Courses in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Amazing course set in the woods with trees either side on most holes. A real challenge. Some old fashioned values still at the club. One of our party was picked up for not wearing white socks. But otherwise the club was really nice and the bar and food all really good. Bar lady was super friendly and a breath of fresh air.

Simply first class, easily my favourite course in Hertfordshire which says something given the calibre in the County. It’s a beautiful course, immaculate in condition and a really great layout. The club house is superb and very friendly staff and great food.

A very special golf course set in a National Trust area of outstanding beauty. If you like driving the ball it's great for that, the greens are generous in size but don't be fooled if you are a long way away from the pin, good putting is a premium. The members are so friendly, everyone I met or spoke with were so proud of the course and club. Well worth a visit to this English top 100 golf course.

1st time of playing Ashridge it had been well recommend to me and we were not disappointed with the course. Greens and bunkers were in excellent condition. Food and service was fantastic all staff and members was friendly and welcoming

I enjoyed this challenging course set around Whipsnade Zoo. It’s fairly long, with plenty of hazards despite looking open from the tees. Some holes offer great views of the zoo and its animals. Worth the fee, and fun for all skill levels. Looking forward to returning soon!

Nice friendly club in good condition. Interesting and challenging course in a great setting. Green fees well priced.

Very friendly and sociable service in the pro shop and the bar with good quality Guinness and tasty food. Enjoyable and interesting golf course totally surrounded by countryside and some lovely scenery.

Considering we just experienced storm Eunice the course was well maintained. Pro shop staff was polite and welcoming, large putting green, lovely practice chipping area and could see the practice range was well maintained as well. Changing room is very spacious and clean which is a massive plus. Although when I tried to turn on the shower the water was running cold. I did let it run and for a few minutes as well. At the bar it was also clean, staff was friendly and there was a nice fire burning which made it very cosy to sit and relax. One thing I felt was that each hole did feel very similar to each other which can be quite mundane as your going round 18 holes. With that said, fairways are very wide and welcoming. If you’re a big hitter, this is a great course as there are quite a few 3-400 yard par 4s and 5s. Would recommend and visit again

Nice open course, not too difficult, greens are fast, course is beautifully kept. Not too many hazards, and generally open fairways. Great facilities at the club. Very expensive to play though

One of the best kept course I have visited and played. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the entire course was fantastic. The greens were perfect, the rough wasn’t too rough and the fairways in better condition than a lot of other courses putting greens! Sausage bap was top notch as well. Highly recommend

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.

Son’s on a junior lesson with the talented Casey…. Rare opportunity for some ‘me time’ in the lovely sunny bar at Brickendon Golf Club. ❤️ Don’t mind if I do….

We held a small family party (low key) at Brickendon Grange. It is a lovely building in well kept grounds. The staff were very efficient and attentive. They decorated the table for us beautifully and clearly had spent some time doing this. We were in the Oak Room, which was very suitable for 19 of us to be seated comfortably. The food was lovely (vegetarians catered for). Cannot fault it .

I played this course as part of an away fixture. The first time that I've played the course and was really pleasantly surprised. The club house is an extended manor house with a very modern dining and patio area behind the main entrance. The practice area is pretty good with separate nets, putting green, chipping area and grass range. The only down side was, that because it is corporate owned i presume, that there was a function going on which meant the place was packed and we had to park adjacent to the grass range, leaving numerous cars in danger of an errant golf ball from there. The course itself is a tree lined parkland course with some really nice holes. There is enough elevation throughout the course to make for some great views but it does mean that you are playing a couple of blind approach shots. The course was in great condition. The fairways had really good coverage, the greens were of a good standard with a consistent roll and had enough slope on them to make for some challenging putts. The trees around the course provide some testing drives but with plenty of space further out for longer hitters. A couple of nice dog leg holes require accurate tee shots with challenging approaches. The final hole is a good looking par 3 up hill, with a view into the patio area. The members were friendly and the food was good. There were parts of the course that were still a little damp but there is a fair amount of water in the way of pond or streams to add further challenges into your round so not that surprising. Overall well worth a visit but it definitely should be played off the back tees to get the most out of your time there.

We used Brickendon Grange Golf Club for my dad’s 90th birthday party. It was fabulous! The room was light and airy with lovely views, the hot fork buffet was delicious and all the staff were really helpful. Parking was easy too. Everyone said what a lovely time they’d had.

The course layout is excellent, providing a challenging test especially for straight hitters. It's in superb condition with friendly clubhouse staff and a well-stocked pro shop. Ideal for events with up to 120 guests, offering plenty of food and drink options. Overall, a top-notch experience with attentive service.

Always a pleasure to visit Berkhamstead GC as the staff are fantastic throughout. The course is a gem, however, the gorse and heather which is to this course what double greens, riveted bunkers and wind are to St Andrews ... have been hacked back and removed to a shocking degree. I wonder why this is? I personally don't think the course was that tough as to necessitate this to the extent it's been carried out. I'm assuming there is a very good reason for this as it's altered the character of the course radically in my opinion. I still love the course as much as ever, but I wonder how the the loss of so much gorse will impact upon nature ... mainly the bees, who let's face it, play a gargantuan role in the ecosystem. Let's hope it grows back!

Considering there are no bunkers this course continues to play tough. Miss the fairway and your playing out sideways or your lost in the bracken and ferns which are plentiful. Lovely club house and big car park. Careful as you cross the B roads that thread through the course as they are busy.

Arguably the best layout in Hertfordshire with the course to match. Running firm and fast through the summer Berkhamsted keeps you on your toes with no hole allowing you to rest on your laurels.

I really like this course. Driving up to the club overlooking the Chiltern hills you know that sometimes, it's going to be a slog into the wind. The course is a mature, interesting, parkland course with some really great holes. The club house is modern and comfortable and the members friendly. The fairways meander around the various contours of the land and the front 9 holes have a really great feel to them. With your playing across slopes from elevated tees onto well maintained tree lined fairways and up to well kept, testing greens. It was a breezy day when i played and it is really quite special to be playing golf and to have gliders from the local flying club overhead and around the course making the most of the rising air currents. The back 9 is played on more open ground really giving the breeze a chance to cause havoc with any wayward shots. There are some well placed trees and fairway bunkers to consider on most approaches. Of the bunkers that trapped me however, they were well kept with a decent amount of sand in and there has clearly been some work done to bring them up to a good standard. I played as a members guest and the fees were very reasonable and the price for a normal guest fee is really good value. It's definitely a club that i would consider membership of. Keep up the good work folks.

We had the pleasure of Richard and his lovely team of staff carrying out our wedding breakfast and reception in June. From start to finish, Richard was fantastic in his approach and made sure we were updated at every stage of the process. The venue has been recently refurbished and there is a lot of space for up to 110 guests. We just wanted to thank Richard and his team again for all of their help in making sure we had a great day. If you are looking for a venue for your bid day, we would definitely recommend the Dunstable Downs Golf Club

Great service, very friendly staff , amazing food, delicious and fresh. Great bar selection that's reasonably priced. Perfect place for a celebration in a beautiful setting.

Played with friends most golf courses either closed or have carry only in place. Today had my trolley and best friend with me. Great welcome and great value on my county card. Started off with a bacon roll and coffee again great value £6 each All playing surfaces fantastic condition, roll on the fairways. The greens very receptive, fast and true. Members very welcoming, will be coming back soon, overall a great day

Outstanding Food & Service : Wedding : Porters Park Golf Club was the venue for our daughters wedding. Absolutely 5* service, food, staff, bar, venue. We're still getting comments from guests about the food and staff. Amazing venue for a wedding or other function. Would recommend to everyone. Massive thank you to everyone for an outstanding event.

Truly lovely course, the staff are extremely friendly and kind. The food is very good and so are the drinks. Nothing is too expensive and they are good prices. I would highly recommend it to people that want to join a new golf club.

Visited for a society day… great course, well maintained.. the greens were a little challenging for me (as they should be) great food and service.

Afternoon Tea. Great service, great food, great venue! For a 21st birthday celebration. Only 4 of us but it was lovely. A glass of bubbly and an extra dessert for the birthday boy and two of the staff came and sang happy birthday with us. The selection of teas was brilliant. Answered all questions. Extremely friendly people. Would highly recommend and well done Centurion for having such lovely staff. Well worth the visit!

My first time at the venue. Having left a nearby crematorium we head d here to cel beaten the death of a good family friend. Greeted at a h door by a young lady we were warmly welcomed. Hot coffee followed by some good food. For such an occasion this is wonderful venue. A golf course with wonderful food. There is also a good restaurant on site that we will visit in the future.

Fabulous afternoon with singer Lisa Marie as Adele ! Beautiful club and very helpful staff

The atmosphere here is fantastic, with a premier feel from the entrance to the clubhouse. The course was mostly in great shape, The layout offers a challenging test, especially with penal rough. Friendly staff and reasonable prices make it a worthwhile visit.

A lovely golf course with some challenging holes. I had the tomato soup and goats cheese and sun dried tomatoes sandwich. It was delicious and reasonably priced.

Nice course, great views too. Clubhouse friendly and very aesthetic. Not too difficult nor too easy.Never seems busy - mainly due to the limited member numbers. . Very quiet for 11am tees onwards . Plays well in the winter months. Strongly recommended.

Clearly a course that is going through a lot of changes right now, huge bunkering project that is half way done. You can see some of the ones that have been done and they look immense. Front 9 is relatively straight forward with a few good scoring opportunities, back 9 becomes a bit tougher and more strategic. Would love to come back in summer and see it in full bloom

Great for families, fantastic junior setup. Clubhouse serves lovely food from first thing till 5pm, highly recommend

Nice course with very challenging greens! Tee boxes and fairways were in great condition. Every hole was different and unique, there was only one bland hole. Greens needed a little TLC. Club house was nice and the food was great.
