Frequently Asked Questions
I see Enville has two courses. Which one should I play first, the Highgate or the Lodge?
If you're looking for the true championship test, the Highgate Course is your pick. It's a proper challenge, demanding precision from tee to green, especially with its tree-lined fairways. The Lodge, while still excellent, offers a slightly more open feel and can be a bit more forgiving if you're not quite on your A-game.
When's the best time to visit Enville Golf Club for optimal playing conditions?
We always recommend late spring through early autumn - think May to September - for the best experience. The courses are typically in superb condition, the weather is generally milder, and you'll get those longer daylight hours. Avoid deep winter if you can, as English courses can get quite soft.
I'm a mid-handicapper. Will I enjoy both courses at Enville, or is one more suitable?
Both courses offer a fair test, but the Highgate Course truly challenges all levels, especially with its tight lines and strategic bunkering. The Lodge Course is a fantastic complement, often feeling a bit more open off the tee, which can be a welcome relief for mid-handicappers looking for a slightly less punishing round. You'll find both rewarding, just in different ways.
Can I realistically play both the Highgate and Lodge courses in one day at Enville?
Absolutely, it's a fantastic way to experience the club fully, but it's a long day. We suggest starting early with the Highgate to tackle its challenge fresh, then enjoying a more relaxed afternoon on the Lodge. Make sure to book your tee times with enough buffer for lunch and a quick break between rounds.
What's the one thing that truly makes Enville Golf Club stand out from other English courses?
It's the sheer quality and distinct character of having two genuinely excellent, contrasting courses on one site. While many clubs have two, Enville's Highgate and Lodge each offer such unique challenges and aesthetics - one a classic heathland, the other more parkland - that you feel like you've played two different, top-tier clubs. Don't miss the views from some of the higher points on the Highgate.
