Manor of Groves occupies a parkland setting in Sawbridgeworth, a market town in Hertfordshire approximately twenty-five miles north of London. The course forms part of a hotel and country club complex, serving both members and visiting guests. Designed by S. Sharer, the layout works across gently rolling terrain characteristic of the Hertfordshire countryside, with mature trees framing many holes and water features coming into play on several. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, incorporating elevation changes that add variety to what is otherwise relatively forgiving parkland terrain. Fairways are generally generous, though strategic bunkering and water hazards require thoughtful course management, particularly on approach shots. The design emphasizes accessibility for a range of skill levels while maintaining enough challenge to engage regular play. The club operates as part of a broader hospitality venue, with the golf course complementing conference facilities, dining options, and spa amenities. This dual-purpose character shapes the membership and visitor experience, blending traditional golf club elements with the services expected of a contemporary country club resort. The Hertfordshire location places it within reach of both London-based golfers and those from the surrounding Home Counties, contributing to a diverse playing membership that includes corporate groups alongside individual members.
