About The Hertsmere

The Hertsmere is an 18-hole public-access parkland golf course on Medburn Lane and Watling Street at Elstree, Hertfordshire. Golf was first played on the property in 1984, when it operated in an earlier form, and golf architect Donald Steel carried out a major redesign in 1986 that created the modern 18-hole course. The facility was subsequently known as Elstree Golf Club and Radlett Park Golf Club before being renamed The Hertsmere under new ownership in 2021.

The course plays to par 72 for the principal men's layout, while the official website currently contains conflicting yardage totals and those figures have therefore not been promoted into the structured length field. The site includes a 26-bay Toptracer driving range, two practice putting greens, a practice bunker, golf coaching, club fitting and Script Restaurant and Bar. Visitors can book pay-and-play tee times online, making the course accessible without membership.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. Designed by Donald Steel, the course originally opened in 1984. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Toptracer, Putting Greens, Practice Bunker, Golf Lessons, Club Fitting, Restaurant, Bar.

Origins

Golf first appeared on the property in 1984 during the expansion in new golf facilities that characterised the period.

Did You Know?
The same golf property has operated under the names Elstree Golf Club, Radlett Park Golf Club and The Hertsmere.

Design Philosophy

Donald Steel's 1986 work created an 18-hole parkland course across gently undulating ground, with streams, ponds and wooded areas incorporated into the routing.

Development

After operating as Elstree Golf Club and then Radlett Park Golf Club, the facility changed ownership in 2021 and was relaunched as The Hertsmere. The new operation developed the site as a broader public golf and recreation facility with a 26-bay Toptracer range, practice facilities, restaurant and walking trails.

Today

The Hertsmere combines pay-and-play golf with memberships, coaching, a technology-equipped range and hospitality facilities.
