West at Moor Park Golf Club

The West Course at Moor Park Golf Club occupies part of a historic estate in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, approximately twenty miles northwest of central London. Harry S. Colt designed the course in the 1920s, working with the property's rolling parkland terrain and mature woodland. The estate itself centers on Moor Park Mansion, a Grade I listed Palladian house that serves as the clubhouse and stands as one of the architectural landmarks of the Home Counties.

Colt's routing makes extensive use of the natural elevation changes across the property, with several holes playing through corridors of established trees and others opening onto more expansive parkland. The course measures over 6,700 yards from the back tees and features the strategic bunkering and green complexes characteristic of Colt's work during this period. The design emphasizes positioning and approach play rather than overwhelming length, with greens that reward accurate iron shots and penalize miscalculation.

Moor Park operates as a private members' club and maintains both the West Course and the shorter High Course. The West has hosted various national and regional amateur competitions over the decades, including English Amateur Championship qualifying and county-level events. The club draws its membership largely from the surrounding Hertfordshire and northwest London areas, with the mansion clubhouse providing a distinctive setting that reflects the property's long history prior to its conversion to golf use.
