Course Description
The Grove, home to one of the UK's most prestigious golf courses, has welcomed many greats of the game, having staged a World Golf Championship event, won by Tiger Woods in 2006, as well as hosting the British Masters in 2016. Designed by Kyle Phillips (the man behind Kingsbarns), the course opened for play in September 2003 to rave reviews and it's already considered by some to be the best course inside the M25.

Visitor Reviews
| by London Golfer on 2020-08-01 From the moment you show up, you are taken care of at The Grove (it is a hefty fee you are paying to play). Hard to believe you're within the M25 - the Grove is clearly a favourite for corporate events and sports a great clubhouse with amazing practice facilities. The course itself is relatively open and provides a fun challenge for golfers of all abilities. A bit of fun golf history is on display at the 9th (par 5) where in the middle of the fairway you can find three plaques marking where Tiger Woods had his second shots for his three eagles in the 2006 WGC (don't be fooled as from the tips the hole plays over 50 yards longer than the Grove tees most visitors play from). All in all a fun day although pricey. |
