Lannock Links at Chesfield Downs Golf Club

Lannock Links occupies gently rolling farmland near Graveley in Hertfordshire, roughly thirty miles north of London. Designed by Jonathan Gaunt and opened in the early 2000s, the course forms part of the Chesfield Downs Golf Club facility, which features multiple layouts on the property. Gaunt, a British architect who has worked extensively across the UK and Europe, routed the course to take advantage of the natural undulations and open character of the Hertfordshire countryside.

The layout plays across parkland terrain with mature trees framing several holes and open vistas across the surrounding agricultural landscape. The design incorporates strategic bunkering and water features that come into play on select holes, requiring golfers to consider risk and reward on approach shots. The routing provides variety in hole length and direction, with prevailing winds often influencing club selection and strategy.

Chesfield Downs serves both members and visitors, offering a relatively accessible golf experience in the Stevenage and North Hertfordshire area. The club maintains practice facilities and a clubhouse that supports casual and competitive play throughout the year. The course hosts local amateur competitions and society outings, functioning as a regional venue for golfers seeking a parkland test within reasonable distance of London and the surrounding towns.
