Finchley Golf Club

3-star: Good course – an enjoyable test for your game.

Est. 1930

Finchley Golf Club: Plenty of oak and other mature tree varieties line the fairways of this fairly compact course in historic Finchley in north London. When James Braid laid out the course in the grounds of Nether Court in 1930, peaceful woodland and little else surrounded the course.

Nowadays the course at Finchley retains much of its natural woodland feel, even if some unintrusive housing has crept towards one or two parts of the course perimeter, and a tube train might just pull-up behind you on the 15th tee. These elements of London's urban sprawl definitely do not detract from the pleasantness of a round at Finchley.

Despite a few short par-4s, your ability to score well will be tested by some quite tight fairways and fast sloping greens. Stately Nether Court provides a wonderful backdrop to the delightful uphill par-3 12th, and the also very handsome par-4 18th.

The 15-bedroom house, named Nether Court, was accessed by a long drive from Gordon Road complete with a small entrance Lodge, a river bridge and an artificial lake. Some of the original features in the house include the dining room, saloon, hallway and main staircase with its six stained glass windows.
