Northwood Golf Club - Middlesex - England

Arguably one of the best courses in Middlesex, a nice changed and really great condition all year round. well worth a visit

A very low-lying course that floods very easily. Avoid playing here in winter if you want to enjoy it. The course itself is crammed into a small property which I quite like, and it has some really good holes. If the location and condition was better it would be a good course.

Played here back end of the summer in a society day. Course is challenging and not one you want to be reaching for the driver too much on. Has a lot of Par 4's that run from 4th-10th and all of these are challenging especially the 5th which you would be skipping to the next tee with a par. Greens were excellent and only minor were the fairways being very dry but after the summer heatwave you'll be hard pushed to find somewhere with impeccable fairways. Would highly recommend and to me is a better course than its more well known neighbour Moor Park

We played Northwood in a wet Spring so with its slightly low lying clay nature ground was slightly wet as one would expect, particularly on the holes along the brook. That said there were plenty of interesting and challenging holes with some nasty gorse lying in wait for poorly hit tee shots on a few holes. The higher tree lined holes were excellent, and would love to revisit in drier times.

Played here in a Society day and the course was in excellent condition. Firm quick greens even in autumn and the course is tight and challenging.

Northwood is a parkland course with a 'linksy' feel mostly due to the undulating fairways. I am a member and as such I am a bit biased. Nevertheless I think the course is worthy of a (first) review. At 6,500 yards par 71 it's not a particularly long course by today's standards, however it is a very good test of golfing skills. With only three par 3s and two par 5s it is unusual. The holes are all very different with the best being the 5th, a par 4 of 464 yards stroke index 1. A beautiful hole framed by two large bunkers set about 80 yards from the green. A par here is very good indeed. The course benefits from USPGA greens which were laid about eight years ago. The greens presented a challenge at first, but glad to say under a new course management regime they have significantly improved. As indeed has the whole course which is in a lovely condition, including all the bunkers recently refurbished. Northwood is located near Moor Park Golf Club, about ten minutes from the M25 and 15 minutes from the M40. Not the number one course in Middlesex for nothing and well worth a visit in my humble opinion.
