Just 25 minutes from King's Cross, Highgate is a superb, testing and enjoyable 18-hole course set in an island of tranquility, overlooking North London. Highgate's undulating parkland layout rewards creativity and shot-making and provides a fair challenge for golfers of all abilities. Though only 6,033 yards from the back tees, the course provides a stern test, requiring a balance of risk and reward.
We expect the average round of golf at Highgate to take only a little over three hours but the compact layout also provides flexibility for a few holes before work or nine and a drink on the terrace on a lovely summer's evening. Who'd have thought such sanctuary could be found only 40 minutes from Charing Cross, Bank and Green Park Stations.

Course Overview
Report
Established in 1904, this leafy, parkland course was designed by C.S. Butchart on 83 acres of land that had been part of the hunting estate of the Bishops of London. Though it retains many of its original features, the course layout was fundamentally changed in 1928, when the Metropolitan Water Board built the Bishopswood Reservoir beneath what are, now, the 10th and 13th holes.
Starting Times
Report
One of the many joys of golf at Highgate, is that we have tee times only for our bigger competitions. For the most part, you play your golf when you are ready, and it's rare that you have to wait on the tee. However, to ensure that those playing 2 ball golf are not held up by 3 and 4 balls, we ask that players observe the starting times, below, and to maintain a reasonable pace of play.
