Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hampstead Golf Club a good option for a quick round or for golfers who are newer to the game?

Absolutely, it's perfect for that. The 9-hole, Par 34 layout means you can get a full golf fix in under two hours, making it ideal for a quick escape. We found it incredibly welcoming for those newer to the game, with manageable distances but enough character to keep things interesting.

What's the best time of year to play Hampstead and what should I expect from the course conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early autumn; the course truly shines then, with the surrounding trees in full glory. You'll find the greens consistently well-maintained, offering a true roll, though some fairways can be a bit tighter than you might expect for a shorter course.

Are there any particular holes at Hampstead Golf Club that stand out or offer a unique challenge?

The 4th hole, a tricky par-3, really sticks in our memory - it demands precision over distance to a well-guarded green. We also love the closing 9th, a dogleg par-4 that offers a great chance to finish strong if you can navigate the approach. It's a clever design that makes the most of its compact footprint.

What's the overall atmosphere like at Hampstead Golf Club, and is it welcoming to visitors?

The atmosphere here is wonderfully relaxed and genuinely friendly; it feels like a true community club, not a stuffy institution. You'll find the members welcoming, and the small clubhouse offers a cozy spot for a post-round drink and a chat. It's a refreshing change from more formal courses.

How accessible is Hampstead Golf Club if I'm visiting London, and what's the typical cost for a round?

It's surprisingly easy to reach from central London, just a short Tube ride away, making it ideal for a city break golf outing. Green fees are very reasonable for a London course, typically around £25-£35 for 9 holes, offering excellent value for a well-kept track. We always recommend booking ahead, especially on weekends.
