Leave M25 at exit 23 and follow the A1 direction London. After 4.1 mls (and approx 1 mile after Stirling Corner roundabout) lookout for small, sharp left turn into into Mill Hill Golf Club.
Mill Hill Golf Club: Of all the hidden gems around London, Mill Hill is one of the best in terms of course layout, great bunkering, excellent greens and overall course presentation.
The only drawback, if drawback it be, is that the course nestles between two of London's busiest approach roads, the M1 and A1. Traffic noise is therefore inevitable, but once you get past the third hole, it will be the quality of the layout that gets your full attention, rather than the receding drone of modern day traffic.
Mill Hill has always been an absolute joy to play; a superb layout in a tranquil and lush woodland setting. Nowadays some of the tranquility might have gone, but the layout and the splendour of this parkland golfing venue remains.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Mill Hill was first recorded as Myllehill in 1547 and appears to mean "hill with a windmill". However, there is limited evidence that a mill ever existed here. In the area's more recent history, the Inglis Barracks at Mill Hill East was home to the Middlesex Regiment between 1905 and 1962.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
