Centurion Club

Centurion Club sits in the Hertfordshire countryside near Hemel Hempstead, approximately 25 miles northwest of London. The course was designed by Simon Gidman and opened in the early 2000s as part of a private members' club development. Gidman, who worked extensively with European Golf Design and on various projects across Britain, created a layout that takes advantage of the rolling English landscape characteristic of this part of the Home Counties. The routing moves through a mix of mature woodland and open parkland, with elevation changes that provide natural strategic interest and varied hole corridors. The design incorporates water features on several holes and uses bunkering to define playing lines and frame greens in a contemporary style. The property's scale allows for generous spacing between holes, creating a sense of seclusion uncommon in courses near the London metropolitan area. Centurion Club operates as a private facility with a membership model that emphasizes playing access and course conditioning. The club has developed a reputation within the region for maintaining tournament-quality conditions and for hosting competitive amateur events. The clubhouse and practice facilities reflect the modern era of the club's establishment, with amenities designed to support year-round play and member activities typical of contemporary private clubs in southern England.
