Where2Golf says:
Porters Park Golf Club: The central feature of this quintessentially English parkland course, is a stream that runs through the bottom of the course, providing a natural water hazard on at least 7 of the holes. It is no surprise that Porters Park often gets an honourable mention on many published lists of top golf venues. The holes criss-cross the stream on a wonderfully undulating terraine, which also includes excellent (though not excessive) bunkering, a wonderful variety of trees, and many splendid long par-4s - the 8th, 11th and 18th holes are just three among many gems. All in all, a rightful contender to be described as one of Hertfordshire's best.

| Walton Heath Golf Club (Old course): Top golfers and golf writers have long acknowledged Walton Heath as one of the finest heathland courses in the British Isles. In fact there are two courses here, the Old and New. Read more... |
| The Welcombe Hotel Spa & Golf Club: provides an excellent Stay & Play opportunity, just a mile out of town from William Shakespear's birthplace in the centre of Stratford. The golf course, laid out in the grounds of a sumptuous stately mansion (now hotel), offers many undulating and stylishly crafted golf holes. Read more... |
Royal Ostend Golf Club: represents Belgium’s only real "beside-the-seaside" links golf course (others like Royal Zoute are located a little way inland). Here at Ostend many holes make excellent use of an impressive area of sand dunes. From the long par-4 5th through to the par-5 14th, you play across fabulously open and gently undulating golfing terrain, with few trees, fine sea views and probably a bit of North Sea wind thrown in for good measure.
