Centurion Golf Club

Centurion is a young course but it is well worth a visit if you are fortunate enough to get invited to play. As would be expected with a private course, the facilities and the conditioning were excellent. The course opens with a dog leg Par 5 (one of seven) through lovely old trees. Many of the par 5's are reachable for the long hitter but strategic bunkering encourages smart play. The course opens up from the sixth hole onwards when you leave the woodland. You pass through the halfway hut at the eigth and tenth tees providing spectaculr views of the surounding holes and area. The signature par 4 twelfth requires a good tee shot to give yourself an opportunity over the water (long hitters in summer may want to club down to avoid getting wet). Into the finish is the lovely 18th - water shouldn't be in play (but be prepared for a gallery from the rooftop patio). All in a superb course, and certainly one of the best in the London area.
