Highgate Golf Club

Opened in 1904 on former hunting land belonging to the Bishop of London, Highgate was laid out by Billy Winton and refined by Carnoustie professional Cuthbert Butchart, with the layout reshaped again in 1928 after the Metropolitan Water Board acquired part of the estate. A hilly, tree-lined parkland test with only one par 5 among its 18 holes, it rewards strategic placement over raw length and is one of the closest 18-hole courses to central London.
