Highgate Golf Club is located just 11 minutes from Oxford Street. Set in idyllic surroundings on the north side of Hampstead Heath, many golfers have been charmed by Highgate's course and its special atmosphere.

Its 18 holes stretch to 6,000 yards and the course is one of the nearest 18-hole courses to central London. Despite being over 100 years old, the existence of the course still raises eyebrows – even amongst those who have lived in the capital for many years and in that respect, Highgate really is London's best kept golfing secret.

A hilly, tree-lined parkland course, Highgate Golf Club has just one par five hole and four extremely demanding par four holes.

The Coombe Hill Golf Club is a private 18-hole golf course located in London. The first thing noticed about Coombe Hill is its sheer beauty. Every hole is festooned with thousands of scarlet and magenta rhododendrons and every fairway is lined with firs, oaks and slender silver birches. While golfing at Coombe Hill it is easy to forget that the course is only 45 minutes from the centre of London.

6,300 yards long and a par 71 golf course, Coombe Hill offers constant challenges for golfers. Described by PGA Tour Professional Craig de Foy as a course that "...rewards a good shot, and punishes the bad one," its narrowness puts a premium on the ability to hit the ball consistently straight. However, individuals with a passion for golf will relish playing at Coombe Hill.
