Blakes

I have always been fascinated with this course and its links style. I am not a member anywhere and play various courses across Herts and North London, and Blakes has always been under my radar. I took a week off and decided to play different courses each day. I have covered 4 courses so far, one of these Blakes, and found out it is the best course at this time of the year. This is because Blakes has its links style and you do not have to play all the leaves and mud, which were in abundance on every other course I played not only this week, but throughout the autumn. Also, the course is in a very good state. Fairways are nicely cut towards the line of the greens. The greens are also very good. I remember times when the greens were letting down this course, but the new management has taken care and improved them a lot. I highly recommend Blakes and I am off for another round today!!!!

Fun challenge & great value

First time playing the course. Wind was really up so made for a real challenge. Course condition (tees & greens) we’re struggling a bit after the summer we had. Overall though, I enjoyed the round & would certainly come back.

Poor conditions

The course is in terrible condition. It’s like they don’t even care about upkeep. A shame because the layout is good and it used to be really good value for money here. Greens are exceptionally terrible

Greens are terrible

The greens were dreadful, sandy patchy, very little grass. This is a good course but needs lots of TLC.
