| Course Overview
Finchley is a golfing
haven only six miles from London's West End, where individual visitor,
societies and potential members are greeted with equal warmth.
The location could not be
better, within easy reach of The North Circular Road, close to Mill
Hill East underground station on the Northern Line.

Finchley is set in the
grounds of an imposing Victorian stately home that has served as the
clubhouse for more than 70 years. The panorama above shows the view
from the Veranda of the clubhouse, where you can relax and enjoy a
drink and some food after your round while watching the action on the
12th, 13th and 18th holes.
The 6,356 yard, par 72
wooded, picturesque, parkland course is recognised as the finest
challenge of golf in London. Designed by five-times Open winner James
Braid, his short, uphill 12th hole, "Braid's Masterpiece", is one of
the best know par threes in the south of England.

In mid-summer, when the
trees are in full leaf, the views are stunning. It is easy to forget
you are close to central London. The fairways are lush but narrow, the
sloping greens are fast and tricky. The panorama above includes views
of the back nine holes. Finchley boasts a huge variety of trees some of
which can be seen in this picture.
Everything is done to make
visitors feel at home. Buggies, trolleys, clubs and shoes are all
available for hire from club professional Caroline Bradley. Booking tee
times in advance is always advisable.
The Club also boasts
excellent catering, whether you are looking for a bar snack or a
three-course meal in the oak panelled dining room overlooking the 18th
green.
