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

Been to the driving range only. Friendly staff. Extremely great customer experience. The view gives us a sense of peacefulness. Nice vibe for doing golf in any time.

Enjoyable course but at least three of the greens were in a dire state. I see from another post of one month ago that these greens are temporary but they don't appear to have improved or grown out since that time. Frustrating to see your ball being diverted by the numerous ridges on these greens. When I mentioned it to a staff member he just shrugged his shoulders. Not quite the standards I expected as the fees for non members are not cheap but still an enjoyable game of golf nonetheless.

Great Top tracer driving range equipment with all the golf simulators. Great course and super well looked after. Friendly staff and extremely welcoming.

First time at the club today. Taken here by my 82 year old neighbour, who is a member here. Ain't played for 20 years lol Tried driving range, putting green, was welcomed by, professional, friendly staff, had a cup of tea at the bar, watched Olympics, lovely place to be. Definitely going back, will review food and try a round of golf ⛳️ Easy parking, disabled access, beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend so far, update ASAP.

First time playing at The Hertfordshire and it didn't disappoint. The staff in the pro shop were very welcoming and the shop itself had a decent collection on offer. The course was in great condition. The greens were true from one hole to the next and gave great confidence with the putter knowing you could trust the roll. The rough was tough. Quite thick and grabby but a fair punishment for being off line. Overall a brilliant course and a great challenge with all sorts of holes on offer. Not too long, not too short. I shot 90 which was slightly better than average for me if it helps give a guide as to how you might get on.

The Hertfordshire is a course set around a converted country estate and for which from speaking to members some course changes are in the plans. It has a driving range and practice putting area with some nice slopes across the putting green to test your green reading. It is reasonably well maintained with some very pleasant looking holes playing across water. The biggest challenge however is its tests of driving accuracy being cut amongst some very well established tree lines giving what appears to be from the tee, some very tight angles. When i played it, it was in good condition even though i understand that the club has recently lost its head green keeper. The fairways had good coverage and the greens were consistent which as a weekend golfer is all I'm really after. There doesn't appear to be much in the way of fairway sprinklers though as when i played it was drying out as can be seen in the pictures. It does look a bit tatty around some of the tees as there were no tee or rubbish bins meaning that there were a lot of broken tees lying around. Also there were no ball washers which to my mind shows a more corporate rather than golfer friendly mindset. However this didn't affect the playability of the course and some of my balls enjoyed a good soaking in the water hazards anyway. Whilst I really liked the aesthetics of the course it is quite challenging hence the slope rating with very tight drives and punishing rough. It's a course I'd very happily play again which is ultimately all that matters.

A warm welcome with good service and tasty food. Course has some interesting and excellent holes and a few very plain ones. A bit more time on course presentation including definition of cuts, along with faster summer greens would make this 5*. However, it is well experiencing this track :)

A really lovely course. A very warm welcome on arrival and a detailed explanation of the course before we set out. Given the heavy rain the last few days and the fact most courses in the area were shut I was amazed at the quality of the course. The greens were brilliant and fairways too. It can feel like a quite compact course at times, some of the tee boxes are very close to the greens which require accurate approach shots as they are refreshingly petit. A thoroughly great course definitely worth seeking out if you are within an hour or so.

Amazing condition for March. Fairways lush. Love the clubhouse and extremely welcoming staff and club pro who went out of his way to help us..

The course is well kept even after some pretty terrible weather recently. Some moderately challenging holes. Very enjoyable experience.

Played today with my son. Perfect mix of holes and challenges. Staff very helpful and polite. Greens and fairways as good as played this year. Thinking of joining

Great venue for functions! Friendly staff and atmosphere. Beautiful grounds and views from the club house, especially at sunset time. Would recommended

Would recommend a visit here to anyone. Really enjoyed this course! Had a great last 5 holes coming home. The holes(15,16,17) in the trees are very picturesque! Playing off yellows makes the first couple holes very short. I think it is worth playing off the whites here, we changed to whites after a couple holes. Genuinely was surprised at how good it was. Greens ran true and fairly quick, Fairways were hard, but not in a bad way, greens were receptive, tee boxes were level, 2nd cut rough was very long! But as it wasn’t a long course I appreciated having to keep it straight off the tee. Bunkers around greens were good condition. But fairway bunkers had a few larger rocks in it. I like the long grass lining the bunkers. Is a nice look. Overall it’s a great course for the price. I will be visiting back here soon without a doubt.

Great course and hospitality for 54th golf society Captain’s Golf Day.

Best condition I've seen the course in. Fabulous half way hut with home made Yummies. Great food in clubhouse.

Great course well looked after in excellent condition have quite a few long holes would go back again.

A wedding anniversary celebration was held there. The food was excellent and the facilities were top class.

Fantastic golf course, picturesque greens, and fairways. State of the art range to practice your game. The clubhouse/restaurant is super modern and spotlessly clean. The food was really tasty and the service was excellent. I'll definitely be coming back for more.

Super facility this. The pitch and putt is good fun and great for short game practise and the par 3 is challenging but very playable. With Trackman imminent on the range it’s going to be an all round practise heaven! The green keeping staff keep the courses in really good shape and all the staff are very friendly. Danny is a fantastic teaching pro and has improved my game immensely. If you want to learn golf or improve your game there’s no better place. The pub does good food and coffee too :)

Good driving range and the track man is very informative of your shots . A great place for people just getting into good and the lessons from Levi are very good and I improve every time I take one . A less intimidating place to learn golf

Final EDIT: What a difference, this range now has full trackman up and running!! The lights are better and there are targets, totally different experience and very enjoyable! Get yourself down there...:) (new balls also added!!) Original post: Possibly the worst range in Hertfordshire, no targets, balls are crap, you hit straight into a hill. the only saving grace is there are also no suitable floodlighting, so you can't see where you hit it anyway. EDIT: Adding a star for acknowledging the faults, looking forward to making it more stars in the future......

I had a fantastic experience at Chesfield Downs, as I visited for a tournament on Saturday. The catering team went above and beyond to accommodate my halal dietary requirements. They were incredibly thoughtful, ensuring my meal was prepared in accordance with my needs. What stood out most was their consideration for my fasting—they timed the food preparation perfectly so it was ready just before I broke my fast. This level of attention and care truly made my visit special. A big thank you to the chef and team for their excellent service and hospitality!

Winter isn’t the best here as it needs more grass cover on the fairways. But in summer it’s great!! The course is maturing well. It’s still a young course. But see this place getting better and better every year I play. Worth the trip down. Twilight rates are best in the area.

Visited Topgolf Watford on a weekday and had a great time. There's ample parking, which makes getting there hassle-free. The venue has a fun, sporty atmosphere, with live matches playing on huge screens throughout, adding to the buzz. The Topgolf area is split across two levels (upper and lower). It was quite busy, even midweek, so it’s worth booking ahead. Each game gives you 20 balls, but two of us received one less from the dispenser. We mentioned it at reception, and the staff were friendly and responsive, quickly sorting it out by giving us the missing ball – great customer service. Overall, a fun and lively place for a casual game, with good vibes and helpful staff.

We visited Top Golf Watford today for our son's 16th Birthday. We were looked after so well, particularly by Phil, his customer service was/is incredible. He is an asset to this venue and we will definitely visit again! Thanks Phil (and team) for a great day.

Very good place if you want to have good quality time with friends and family. £20 per game but if you for visit for first time you get special offer. Recommend!
