Nestled amidst the picturesque Chiltern Hills, Harewood Downs Golf Club offers a golfing experience that beckons visitors from far and wide. More than just a golf course, it’s a destination that combines challenging play with stunning natural beauty and a welcoming atmosphere. For anyone seeking a memorable day out on the links, Harewood Downs Golf Club consistently delivers.
The course itself is a testament to thoughtful design and meticulous maintenance. Spread across undulating terrain on the south-facing side of the Misbourne Valley, the 18-hole track provides delightful views at every turn. While perhaps modest in length at just over 6,000 yards from the back tees, its par of 69 is deceptive. The Standard Scratch Score (SSS) of 70 reveals a course that demands precision and strategic thinking, proving it’s no pushover for even the most accomplished golfer. The recent bunker renovation project, overseen by renowned architects Mackenzie & Ebert, has not only enhanced the aesthetics but also added a layer of strategic intrigue, particularly for the better player. Furthermore, the USGA specification greens are maintained to the highest standards, ensuring excellent putting surfaces year-round, even after challenging weather conditions.
Beyond the greens, Harewood Downs Golf Club prides itself on its comprehensive facilities and commitment to visitor satisfaction. The newly renovated clubhouse exudes a vibrant atmosphere, serving as a hub for both members and guests. Here, you'll find excellent catering and dining options, with expertly crafted menus and a wide choice of beverages to enjoy before or after your round. The spacious changing facilities and large external patio area contribute to a comfortable and enjoyable experience. For those looking to improve their game, the well-stocked Pro Shop offers a full range of apparel, balls, and accessories, along with expert custom fitting services for leading brands. PGA professionals are on hand to provide coaching, ensuring every golfer has the opportunity to refine their skills.
Harewood Downs Golf Club is also renowned for its hospitality, making it an ideal venue for societies and golf days. The dedicated team ensures a seamless experience from arrival, with meticulous attention to detail. Buggies and electric trolleys are available for hire, and dedicated starters are on hand to assist. The club’s easy accessibility from major road networks like the M25, M40, and M1, coupled with its proximity to Chalfont & Latimer station, makes it a convenient choice for golfers travelling from various locations.
