Uniquely laid out without a single bunker, Berkhamsted Golf Club in Hertfordshire offers a refreshingly different challenge. This heathland course winds through ancient woodland and open heath, blending natural contours with firm, fast-running fairways. Dating back to 1890, Berkhamsted rewards smart strategy and shot placement, especially in dry conditions when the ball can run for miles. The absence of bunkers shifts the focus to uneven lies, rough edges, and elevation changes. It’s a firm favourite among traditionalists and has gained a cult following for its minimalist, sustainable approach. The members’ clubhouse is friendly and understated, in keeping with the course’s character. A must-play for golfers who enjoy old-school charm and natural golfing beauty.
