Royston Golf Club

Excellent greens. Difficult approaches to greens on several holes with bunkers and valleys.

Heathland course. With very undulating fairways.extreme slopes up and down .so beware. Greens in excellent condition tee boxes the same . If you go off fairway you are in long grass .This can be a problem especially as there is not much in the way of working out the distance the ball has covered.

There are also ramblers about as it’s on public land So be careful .Overall though a change from parkland courses .Only negative really is that the clubhouse is a distance from the first tee (400 yards)and there is actually an unconnected sports bar by the 1st tee .Very odd .Overall a very good course and a good physical workout over the hills and dales .

Great course in excellent condition. Greens were fantastic, very fast but true. Rough was unforgiving so best to keep to the fairways.

Only negative was lack of sand in green side bunkers, and what sand that was there was shallow and poor quality.

Overall a very enjoyable afternoon.

The pro shop were really helpful and friendly. The overall condition of the course is good and the greens are in nice condition and quite fast.

As you would expect from a heathland course it’s pretty featureless and a bit boring.

Some holes were very challenging given the wind. They have a couple of lovely par 3’s and the majority of the holes you have to be pretty accurate to get (and stay) on the green as it’s so fast.

Overall a good course, just not for me, I prefer a course with features like woodland and water etc not just fairways and rough. I got it for a ‘hot deal’ but I wouldn’t pay full price for it, as it is definitely overpriced compared to others.

Would definitely make sure you get a buggy unless you like pushing your trolley uphill and are fit as this could quite easily add an hour on to your normal play time

Only spoiled by kids running on the fairways but it was a beautiful day so lots of walkers.

Went on a pretty sunny day, the greens rolled extremely well. Not going to lie I probably should have checked beforehand what the course was like because I'm not the fittest guy in the world! So much elevation change! You get the feel from the first hole where you are literally driving up what felt like at least 30m elevation to get to the first green. It's a work out for sure if you're hoofing it! Otherwise an amazing course

This is a very welcoming club where the course has a incredible layout, is dry and playable all year. Whilst not a long course, every shot and every club will be called upon!

Considering all the bad weather we had in the last week, course still in excellent condition. Greens were great, we all enjoyed the day out and will be returning again.

Had too many dog walkers to contend with, it's not just a golf course. We had radio controlled cars going across a green we were pitching onto at one point. Won't be going there again.

It is definitely the most challenging course in the north London area. It is very hilly, has small greens and many blind holes. If you are unfortunate like me to play on a windy day, the difficulty is three folds. If your ball doesn't stay on the fairways, it is almost certainly lost. The club needs to improve on its sign posting between holes. Positive points; great staff at Proshop, good greens and good meal at The Heath (next to hole 18).

Cracking course, old school pot bunkers, beautiful greens and amazing tee shots from elevated tees!

Challenging course both in terms of shots and distance/elevation walked with immaculate greens. Where it could improve is help in the hole hazards and topography...lot of hit and hope tee shots needed first time round!

Clubhouse isn’t located on the course. Directions to clubhouse and course we’re not good. If you are a first timer here you better give yourself at least 45 minutes prior to tee time to get to the #1 tee. Put your walking shoes on this course is hilly and a tough walk!!! No amenities anywhere on the course. Pro shop lacking for a £40 course. Great layout and it is TOUGH!!! You will be mentally and physically wore out after a round at Royston.

Hello, I really enjoyed the course. The greens were the best thing about the course today. Some picture perfect holes. The hills/valley were no joke but it has finally made me move on and get an electronic trolley. I’ll be feeling it on my legs tomorrow.

Will be back and it’ll be more enjoyable as I’ll know where I’m hitting balls into blind spots up and down the course.

Pros :

The course is challenging , with some superb holes which have a parkland and links feel.

Cons: Super hilly

Absolutely loved the course, not the longest but with the wind in play, it certainly made a number of the holes really tricky. Great condition, and the greens run true and again are in fantastic shape, some are tiny too, so precision is key.

Cannot recommend highly enough. I’ll be back

First time at Royston - very impressed. Hilly, challenging, great views. Lucky to be in a quiet patch so no other players nearby so able to really appreciate the complex layout and location. Will definitely be back.

Royston is a favourite of mine. It is very tough for its length, like an inland links, really up and down as well and winds challenging. You have to think on every hole and if you get a couple of bad breaks the score racks up. But it certainly has made me a better player; and if you live miles from the sea like I do this is the closest to a challenging links you will find.
