The course was originally laid out in 1891 by prolific and esteemed course architect Tom Dunn in attractive parkland bordering Richmond Park and Ham Common. In recent years the course has been substantially upgraded with the help of TPL, the firm of golf architects founded by five times Open champion, Peter Thomson.
The first is our shortest par 4. It's a slight dogleg, guarded by bunkers on the right and trees on the left. The biggest hitters may attempt to drive the green, but they'll need to ensure that they get the correct line. Many will take an iron from the tee to keep the ball in play. The second is dead straight and is one of only two holes on the course not to have any bunkers.
Passing the Master Greenkeeper exams in 2004 is still one of his proudest achievements - especially as he is one of only 80 people worldwide to achieve MG status. Les is a keen golfer and, as his +1 handicap suggests, he excels at that too. He's a passionate Course Manager and oversees a team of 10 to nurture fantastic putting surfaces and a golf course that remains playable throughout the year.

One of the best, most challenging courses I've ever played and in a stunning setting.
Without doubt the best greens I have ever played on and at times I felt guilty walking on some of the aprons because they were so perfectly manicured.
Very friendly staff and very well run and organised. I just hope I get the chance to play here again. Brilliant.
