The Hertfordshire Golf Club
About this course
The Hertfordshire is a Jack Nicklaus II design situated in Broxbourne, within the green belt countryside of Hertfordshire north of London. Opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies rolling parkland terrain that was shaped to incorporate the strategic design principles associated with the Nicklaus family philosophy—emphasizing risk-reward options, strategic bunkering, and well-defended greens. The layout makes use of natural elevation changes and mature woodland boundaries to create definition and variety across the routing. The course features water hazards on several holes and large, contoured putting surfaces that require careful approach play and thoughtful club selection. Fairway bunkering is positioned to challenge tee shots at various distances, rewarding accuracy and course management. The design incorporates both open parkland character and more enclosed, tree-lined corridors, providing visual and strategic diversity throughout the round. The Hertfordshire Golf Club operates as a members' club with visitor access, serving the golf community in the Hertfordshire and greater London area. The facility includes practice amenities and clubhouse services typical of established English parkland clubs. The course appeals to golfers seeking a modern championship-length layout within reach of the capital, offering a test that balances accessibility for members with enough challenge to host competitive events at club and regional levels.

Getting there
The journey to The Hertfordshire Golf Club begins at London Stansted Airport, a mere twenty minutes north by car, making it one of the most accessible championship venues in the Home Counties. Those arriving via London's major hubs - Heathrow or Gatwick - face a straightforward hour's drive through the orbital motorway network before peeling off into the green belt landscape of Hertfordshire. The final approach trades suburban sprawl for quiet country lanes that wind through ancient woodland and open farmland, delivering you to the club's gates in Broxbourne with the unmistakable sense of having left the capital's bustle behind without truly leaving its reach.
