I love West Herts tbh…

Social membership is good value because for £150 you can play 10 times at Members Green Fee so it means you can alternate with other courses. Larry McGowan - this year’s captain is a lovely guy; the pro shop are very nice ; bar staff very attentive and food is very nice. They’ve put a lot of work into the course over lockdown - members tell me it’s the best condition for 70 years!!!!

Stunning but very tough

First time I've played a course designed by Old Tom Morris, build at the end of the 1800 this is one spectacular course. At 6601 its not overly long and has spacious fairways, but man the greens are tough. Running at over 12 on the stimp 3 putts are a plenty. Par threes at over 180 yards makes them very difficult. The famous cockpit hole 16 is amazing. The 18th is a brute of a parr 5, the approach is nigh impossible to miss a bunker. Hospitality was second to none, food was very good. Normally it is over £50..(&65 at the weekend) to play here but I played with the DGA for £35 so it was a great deal. This is not a course for a high handicapper. I thought I played really well and still did not break 90! I had 5 ..3 putts. Awesome course and one I hope to play again.

Nicely hidden

From our first booking we expected it to be as snobby as Ian had found it, but there may have been a little change. Perhaps they, like most other courses are starting to feel the pinch and would like a little external cash to keep membership fees down.

We were booked to play and have a two course meal. Course was in excellent condition - club championship was due two days after playing - the greens had been 'ironed' (flattened with a weird piece of kit!) and was a pleasure to play - but must take exception to the par 3 17th, I'll just say that if you play TRUST THE BLUE pole!

After finishing the game we asked to sit outside and eat, instead of faffing around changing. No problem was the answer, but as it's getting chilly, come inside if you want - considering that we were told jacket and tie (after 7), this was a bonus.

All in all a friendly club who may (hopefully) have climbed into the 21st Century - will see if I get another invite.

(Society was charged £45 for bacon butty, coffee and two course meal with coffee)

Overpriced........

At first glance this course promises a great round and to be fair to the them, the course was in great condition when I played. An undulating parkland course there is plenty to test even the best players. However, what a shame the day was spoilt by an over zealous rule book (no side pockets on your shorts and no trainers in the clubhouse), luckily I had a spare pair of shorts in the car! Added to this, at £42 a round (midweek!) I am hard pushed to say this was good value for money. I would happily play here again but alas not at these prices!

A top quality course

West Herts is a top quality golf course. We played it last week and the fairways and greens were some of the best we've played on. It's a little expensive but is a true test of golf.

It's feature hole is a 189 yard par 3. From the tee you cna't even see the green, your basically relying on your distnace as the green is in a dip of some 20 feet.

If you hit the ball straight you will do well, if you go off the fairways a fair bit you might struggle.
