Stanmore Golf Club

Stanmore Golf Club, a historic golf course in Middlesex

Stanmore Golf Club is a golf club located in Stanmore, in the county of Middlesex (United Kingdom), which opened its doors in 1893. According to its own presentation, it has been a source of pleasure and pride for countless golfers for more than a century. The club describes itself as a blend of a traditional private members' club and a modern, progressive entity.

The course sits in mature, tree-lined parkland, in a secluded setting yet close to London, a combination that the website itself describes as surprising for visitors. The club presents itself as the third-best course in Middlesex according to the Top 100 Golf Courses ranking and as one of the most challenging courses in the county.

The course and the game

The layout is described as enjoyable yet challenging, suitable for both members and visitors. The website includes a virtual course tour (Course Tour) and mentions a greenkeeping team led by Barry Neville as Head Greenkeeper. The club has a practice area and a professional team offering lessons and custom club fitting.

Among the player reviews featured on the site, the course maintenance, the quality of the greens, the design of each hole and the value for money of the food and drink in the clubhouse are highlighted.

The website states that its membership categories aim for a healthy balance of young professionals, couples and retirees.
