Welcome

Muswell Hill Golf Club, as featured in Golf Monthly, is the most central of North London’s

premier golf courses.

We welcome any golfer who loves the game, including visitors for green fees, societies and those looking for a flexible range of golf club membership packages.

Our par-71 parkland Championship course was first played in 1893, but has stood the test of time and still offers athrilling golfing examination for all levels of player.

Over the past few years, our enthusiastic greenstaff have transformed the course to make it one of the best presented in North London - and they haven’t finished yet.

For those looking to lower their scores and improve their game, tuition is available seven days a week from ourtalented team of three teaching professionals.

We are proud of our reputation as a friendly and welcoming club and visiting golfers can expect a warm welcome in our spacious and recently refurbished clubhouse, where a well-stocked bar and first class home-cooked

food provide a perfect accompaniment to your round of golf.

The clubhouse facilities are also available to hire for special occasions such as weddings and birthday parties, and our facilities and central location make us perfect for conferences.

We believe that Muswell Hill offers one of the most enjoyable golfing experiences in London and we are justly proud of it. Come and see what makes us special.

6 / MUSWELL HILL GOLF CLUB

Muswell Hill Golf Club was formed on December 1, 1893, following a meeting held at

the Green Man Hotel in Muswell Hill by a group of enthusiastic Scotsmen keen on playing the game in England’s capital city.

About 100 acres was leased from the Alexandra Palace company, land that had originally been set aside for residential development. An 18-hole course was laid out by Peter Fearnie, who was paid the princely sum of £1 5sfor his labour!

The club’s first president was Sir Ralph Littler, a well-known local judge and barrister. Sir Ralph was a formidable man who did not suffer fools gladly. He was once mentioned in Parliament after sentencing a labourer at the MiddlesexSessions to three years’ penal servitude and two years’ police supervision for stealing apples to the value of 1s! The club’s first Professional was a Mr. J.Tickle and the first captain Mr George Carrie.

Our first clubhouse was a rather more modest affair than the fine surroundings in which we find ourselves today – it comprised two rooms in the neighbouring Tottenham Wood Farmhouse.

It is not known definitely who came up with the original course design, but we do know that the renowned golf course architect, James Braid, was asked for his thoughts on improving the golfing experience in the early 20th century.

Braid, a five-time winner of the Open Championship, readily accepted the commission and major alterations were made, particularly with the addition of a great many bunkers. More than a century or so later we are still grateful to the influence of the man who has the King’s Course and Queen’s Courseat Gleneagles and the 1926 remodelling of The Open Championship venue Carnoustie Golf Links on his resume.

Club History


Braid played several exhibition matches at Muswell Hill with Harry Vardon, a six-time winner of the Open and fellow member, along with J.H. Taylor, of the trio of pre-eminent golfers of the time known as the Great Triumverate.

Muswell Hill Golf Club has a rich history. Bobby Locke and Ted Ray were among other notable professionals to regularly play challenge matches over the course and entertainer Frank Sinatra often played here while staying at the Savoy.

Situated so near the City of London, it will come as no surprise to learn that covetous glances have been directed towards the prime piece of real estate on which the club sits. A land exchange took place which saw the building of a school, situated in Rhodes Avenue, on part of the club’s original grounds, with other neighbouring land being given as recompense.

Indeed, the portico that adorned the entrance to the farmhouse that originally served as our first clubhouse still sits in a corner of the primary school grounds. A Listed structure, it is the only piece of that building that stillremains. The club moved to a brand new clubhouse on club land in 1932, but our history was not forgotten as this portico forms the Muswell Hill Golf Club logo.


Untitled-36.indd 1 11/09/2014 10:24:03


The club has survived one or two crises over the years. In the very early days a section of the membership broke away from the club to form another club, partly because Muswell Hill had been given notice to quit (a threat, thankfully, that never materialised) and partly because the church, which owned part of the land at the time, forbade golf on Sundays.

More recently, the greenkeepers’ premises and equipment were all lost in an arson attack in June 2007. Undeterred, members formed working parties to help with course maintenance until the equipment could be replaced.

Muswell Hill rose like a phoenix from the ashes and, once more restored to our prime and well into our second century of existence, we look forward to continuing to preserve the golfing heritage of our forefathers for many more years to come.

The Course

Muswell Hill’s parkland course has played host to the men’s and women’s Middlesex

Amateur Golf Championships in recent years and offers a fair but thorough test to players of all abilities.

The tree-lined, undulating fairways and outstanding greens are a pleasure to play and the final stretch is probably one of the toughest finishes among golf courses in London.

The course measures 6,432 from the blue medal tees, 6,072 from the visitors’ yellow tees and 5,765 yards from the ladies red tees.

There has been substantial investment in the course in recent years and the tireless work from our dedicated greenkeeping staff has raised the golfing experience to new levels. The greens are renowned for their true rolling qualities and in the summer in particular are invariably in impeccable condition.

So how to score well around Muswell Hill? Who better to ask than David Wilton, the club’s Head Professional. “First and foremost, it’s about putting,” David says. “Keeping possession of your ball is tricky and you’ve got to be able to putt. The greens are small, undulating and very fast. You don’t have

to be a big hitter of the golf ball, but you have to be able to place your golf ball. It is a tree-lined golf course that will punish any wild shot off the tee.”

Come and enjoy the experience for yourself, either as a member or visitor or in one of our annual open competitions, the most prestigious of which is our Scratch Open, a 36-hole medal event held in August.

Hole 1

Untitled-17.indd 1 08/09/2014 12:46:57


Each round at Muswell Hill throws up a different challenge. The closing stretch is notoriously

difficult and is something to relishor face with a little trepidation depending on how your round is going.

All 18 holes are memorable in their own right and every member and visitor will have their own favourites. Here Head Professional David Wilton selects some of his most memorable.

Hole 1, 333 yards, par 4A nice, opening par four. It is fairly short, but it is also quite tight. A wooded area to the right means safety off the tee is paramount. The green rolls from back to front, but don’t go long as there is trouble.

Hole 2, 366 yards, par 4The second has a small green that can catch out people in the summer, when it is particularly fast and the contours really stand out. The raised putting surface slopes away to the left and there is trouble on the right-hand side with a steep bank and out of bounds.

Hole 8, 186 yards, par 3A well-protected green with bunkers in front and to either side. The front bunker is slightly deceiving as it is five yards short of the green and there is more room than you might think beyond it. The green is small, and very difficult to find. One of the hardest holes on the course.

Key Holes

Hole 2


Hole 10, 312 yards, par 4A short par four, but tricky. It’s probably best to hit an iron off the tee that will leave you about 100 yards to the well-protected green. There is an oak tree to the left of the green, which slopes from left to right and is particularly fast in summer.

Hole 16, 375 yards, par 4Having hopefully hit a good straight drive there are bunkers left and right to factor in with your second shot to the 16th green. You can’t afford to be short here, because any ball short will roll back down the hill.

Hole 18, 393 yards, par 4A tough tee shot with out of bounds all down the left. Aim down the right side of the sloping fairway and the natural contours should bring your ball back into prime position. The 18th green has a big slope from back to front and almost feels like it has two tiers. The putting surface is well protected with bunkers left and right and out of bounds beyond. A par here is a fine way to finish your round.

Together they developed a coaching strategy that has been widely recognised as a successful blueprint for golfers of all ages and standards. When Ian left to become Head Professional at The Royal Hong Kong Golf Club in 1997 David took over as Head Professional. Over the years he has built a reputation throughout the region for delivering results that are both achievable and rewarding.

Don BrennanDon joined Muswell Hill in 1996, becoming a fully-qualified class ‘A’ PGA Professional in 2000. He competed on the Elite Pro Tour and the Euro Pro Tour over the next few years. Don is a real student of the modern game and follows closely all the latest coaching developments. He worked with England head coach David Ridley and lists his main influences as Michael Hebron(‘Inside Moves the Outside’), Jim Hardy (‘Plane Truth’) and mind coach Dr Karl Morris.

Alastair BennettAlastair is a qualified class AA PGA Professional, who worked with renowned coaches Gary Smith and Gary Alliss during his training.

sound tuition, application and practice. Our undercover teaching area next to the 18th green allows pupils to hit balls under instruction from our professionals no matter what the weather!

Technology is constantly changing the game of golf and while we are always happy to use traditional hands-on teaching methods, we are also able to offer the latest in video analysis. This enables you to compare your swings alongside those of the best players and to have a visual reminder of the techniques you were working on to improve your game.

On course playing lessons are also available and our professionals are qualified on the often-overlooked psychological side of the game, an area worth exploring if your scores do not match your golfing ability.

Smarter golfers will tell you that the quickest way for the average player to lower their handicap is by working on perfecting shots from 100 yards and in. The club has a short game area next to the teaching shed, this consists of a chipping green, usually with three holes to aim for, which is perfect for perfecting those par-saving chip and runs. It is also possible to work on

speciality shots around the green from a variety of different lies and there is also a good quality practice bunker. There is an excellent putting green right next to the clubhouse and if you have played at Muswell Hill before you will have come to learn how crucial a good day with the flat stick is to constructing a good score.

Members at Muswell Hill Golf Club can look forward to an active golfing calendar

throughout the golfing season, both in terms of major competitions or more fun formats against fellow members, or representing the club in matches against some of the other leading clubs in the area.

The beauty of the handicap system is that it allows players of differing abilities to compete on an equal footing and still enjoy a game to the full. Good golf cannot always be guaranteed, but good company is never in short supply and the setting is truly special. In short, if you like competitive or social golf, Muswell Hill is the place to be.

MenWhatever your ability, there is the opportunity to represent the club in team competition. While all members of the men’s section play together in most of the club’s own events, when playing externally there are various groups to ensure a good match against an

opponent of similar ability. The groups, with their qualifying handicaps are:• Tigers (2.5+) • Foxes (9.5-18.5)• Sabres (6-10) • Rabbits (19+)

The men field a scratch team in a Middlesex county competition called the Rowse Trophy and also the Thornton Cup, which also features clubs from Essex and Hertfordshire. This is played in a Ryder Cup-style format, with five foursomes in the morning, an enjoyable lunch and ten singles in the afternoon.

The Tigers play in the Middlesex Tigers Golf League comprising inter-club eight-a-side scratch matchplay matches

over 18 holes. Clubs are drawn into four groups and the group winners progress to a knockout stage. Muswell Hill won the competition in 2012, beating West Middlesex to claim the Leslie Flack Cup.

The Foxes play in the North London League against our neighbours at Hendon, Hampstead, Highgate, Finchley and North Middlesex. During the season, matches are normally played on evenings during the week on a home and away basis. Each league game consists of eight players a sideplaying singles matchplay.The Sabres also play league fixtures home and away against five neighbouring golf clubs in a league

format: Enfield, Finchley, Hendon, Mill Hill and North Middlesex. Again teams comprise eight players, but the chosen format of play is fourball betterball. There is also a popular accompanying knockout competition called the Bullivant Bowl.

The club does not have a veterans’ section as such, but our senior golfers form part of the Rabbits, a large and lively group of higher handicappers who take to the course at every opportunity. The Rabbits enjoy numerous friendly matches throughout the season, both home and away.

At the club, there are the traditional monthly medals and Stablefords and many honours board competitions to contest each year. Our bigger competitions and medals such as the Battle of Britain Trophy – a fourball betterball competition – tend to be held over two days.

Golf is enjoyed whatever the season, with a Winter League always proving incredibly popular. The Two Drivers Trophy on offer to the winner is one of the premier competitions run by the club and one of those everyone wants to win.

Members Golf (continued)

Social GolfThe chances to play golf socially at Muswell Hill are numerous, with various formats and fixtures. One such example is our traditional match between Ireland and the Rest of the World, played at the club to celebrate St Patricks Day, where several club members are bestowed the status of honorary Irishmen for the day!

The Sunday Swindle has been going on for several years. It is a very popular roll-up and a great way to meet new members on a Sunday morning. There is a trophy to play for during the year, but this is more about having an enjoyable time socially rather than winning and losing and there is a dinner at the end of the season.

In the summer months there is a Wednesday night roll-up which again is fabulous for members who have just joined the club and gives another opportunity to make new friends and potentially meet new playing partners. A nine-hole competition, it is followed by a drink and much jollity in the bar afterwards. The trick is not to win, but to come second, so you don’t have to buy what can be an expensive first round!Even tasks that at some clubs might be seen as something of a chore have been turned into a fun social event at Muswell Hill. Take our traditional Good Friday divoting, for example. Groups (one on each hole, two on the par-fives) spent a little time repairing the fairways

and then play a Texas Scramble before adjourning to the bar. The course looks the better for it, while the members look forward to this event as much as anything in the year.

Reciprocal Golf

An added benefit of being a member at Muswell Hill is the chance to enjoy discounted

green fee rates at numerous golf courses locally, across the United Kingdom and even abroad.

We enjoy reciprocal golfing arrangements with several neighbouring courses, namely Bush Hill Park, Crews Hill, Enfield, Finchley, Hendon, Mill Hill and North Middlesex, together with two golf courses in Sydney, Australia, Roseville Golf Club and Cromer Golf Club, Rondebosch Golf Club in Cape Town, South Africa, Royal Colombo Golf Club in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and Mission Hills Country Club in Shenzhen, China.

In addition, Muswell Hill is a member of the Association of James Braid Courses, which has now attracted more than 200 hundred member clubs from the north of Scotland, to Ireland, Wales, all areas of England and one in New York. The list now includes many of Braid’s famous designs such as St Enodoc, Brora, Dalmahoy and Gleneagles.

The advantages of being a member of the association is that the members of the clubs can play at all the other member clubs for a reduced green fee, subject to tee availability, thereby hopefully increasing the awareness of Braid’s work and the man himself.

A full list of courses can be found on the Reciprocal Golf page of our website, www.muswellhillgolfclub.co.uk

Juniors

Muswell Hill welcomes all juniors, boys and girls, from 8 to 17 years old and is proud to hold the Golf

Mark accreditation.

Juniors new to golf can join one of our Academy courses held over the holiday periods. On these, juniors will be taught the basics of golf and some fundamental rules and guidelines to safety on and around the course. Academy members will be given a “Passport to Golf” with a number of skills to be mastered. This passport can also be completed at the regular Junior Coaching sessions, held on Sunday afternoons from April to September, or at private lessons with one of the club’s professionals.

Juniors with previous playing experience, and those who have completed their Passport, can join as full Junior members, with access to the course and the opportunity to attend advanced coaching sessions, enter regular junior competitions and work towards attaining a full golf handicap. Juniors with a full handicap are encouraged to enter adult competitions at the club and many of our recent club champions have come up through the Juniors.

The Junior section enters a six-player team in the Middlesex Junior League, which involves matches against other clubs. Talented Juniors are encouraged to join the Middlesex County coaching

scheme and could progress to playing for one of the County Junior teams.

Juniors benefit from excellent rates here at Muswell Hill, while still enjoying the benefits of full membership for a fraction of the cost.

Information for Visitors

It is always a pleasure to see visitors at Muswell Hill wishing to use the course and clubhouse facilities. You will find

the welcome warm and genuine and we hope you will enjoy being treated like a member for the day.

Delight in the test offered by our 6,072 -yard lay-out from the yellow tees and imagine what a thrill it must be for our members teeing off from the medal tees which add another 400 yards and more to the golfing experience at one of London’s oldest and most respected clubs.

Please contact the professional prior to arrival to ensure a tee time is available to avoid clashes with members and

societies. It is possible to book a tee-time by logging on to our website, where you will also find details of the latest green fees and special offers.

Reduced green fee rates are available to guests of members and, in the summer, to those able to play late in the day.

In common with other clubs we request that visitors abide by our dress code both on the course and in the clubhouse, specific details of which are available on request.

We prefer golfers to be of a sufficient standard for them to be able to enjoy their round and for them not to

inconvenience others and you may be asked to produce a current handicap certificate when you check in at the Pro Shop.

The club also has a rule banning the use of mobile phones in the clubhouse and on the course.


For many years, Muswell Hill Golf Club has welcomed visiting golf societies to play golf in the capital

and we are the most central venue for corporate golf days in North London. Our location makes it ideal for many London-based sports clubs and corporate events.

We have several ready-made packages available or are happy to customise a day to your exact requirements. Our superb course will guarantee you a great day of golf. Good food and facilities await you upon your return to the clubhouse to ensure a memorable day.

Your society can use our clubhouse and we have a dining room for your

exclusive use. Our dining room and bar is available throughout the day.

David Wilton, our golf professional, will assist with your competition format, organising special prizes and golflessons, while our attentive clubhouse staff will be on hand to take care of all your hospitality needs.

The club provides a course marshal for large society and corporate days. The duty marshal should be your first point of contact on arrival. He will direct your players to the locker room, issue scorecards, nearest the pin and longest drive markers and organise your teeing off.

Groups tee off from the first and with members starting from the tenth there should no added pressure on yourparty embarking on their round.

You can play just 18 holes, though please note before booking that we offer great rates for more than one round. It is an option well worth considering, as you can put that newly-acquired course knowledge to good use second time around!

We recommend:8-10 minutes between tee times (3 or 4 balls)4 hours per round5 hours between am and pm tee times (1 hour rolling lunch).

Golf Societies


5 hours between the last pm tee time and dinner being served (all eat together)

Pull trolleys are available for hire and buggies are available to hire from the bar. It is, however, recommended that buggies are pre-booked by phone via the office beforehand.

Nearest the pin and longest drive markers are available free of charge and a presentation table and microphone can be provided by prior arrangement.

The society catering at Muswell Hill is exceptionally good and one of the reasons why we welcome groups back year after year.

A sample menu might include the following:

StartersSoup of the dayTomato & Mozzarella SaladSmoked SalmonParma Ham & Melon

Main CourseSteak & Ale PieChicken breast stuffed with Parma HamHoney & Mustard Glazed Gammon & TurkeyA three-course carvery can be offered to groups of 20 or more.

DessertsApple PieWarm Fruit Crumble

Sticky Toffee PuddingWhite & Dark Chocolate Mousse

You do not, however, have to have a sit-down meal. If you would prefer an English breakfast buffet or bacon roll and coffee on arrival, 18 holes, and a light lunch to finish – or anything in between – we would be equally delighted to see you.

To arrange a visit, business meeting or society day, please contact our Events Administrator, Amanda Holland, on 020 8888 1764 or email [email protected] full details.



Clubhouse and Restaurant

No round of golf is complete without the reward of a well-earned drink and a tasty bite to eat.

The spacious lounge bar, with its view up the tree-lined fairway of the 1st and across the 17th tee, provides the perfect spot to relax, take some refreshment, reflect on your game and meet other members and guests.

Both our main bar and spike bar are well stocked with a wide selection of beers, wines and spirits and a choice of soft drinks.

Hot and cold food is served daily seven days a week with breakfast, lunch and snacks available to eat in the bar or dining room, a large comfortable room looking out on to the putting green and terrace. There is also our patio area, which is a favoured place to sit on warm summer days.

Our chef and his team have an excellent reputation, offering a varied daily menu together with catering for functions and special occasions. There is also a first-rate menu for visiting societies looking for a full day’s golf and accompanying sustenance in North London.

Social Activities

Muswell Hill lends itself to some spectacular golf, it is also a pretty special place to

relax as well. The club offers a Social Membership at a very reasonable rate.

An extensive and varied programme of social events is organised throughout the year, with the aim being that there should be something to appeal to everyone, whatever their taste in entertainment.

Bridge is popular at the club, we host the occasional quiz night and Christmas is celebrated with a splendid festive lunch.

Many of the keenly anticipated social occasions revolve around a game of golf as well. Our annual presentation in November, for instance, involves members meeting for Sunday lunch, going out for an enjoyable 18 holes and then returning for a sit-down meal followed by the awarding of trophies to those who have excelled in club competitions over the preceding 12 months.

November is a busy month for the club as we welcome our new Captains and say farewell to those whose year in office has come to a close.
