Old Fold Manor Golf Course
Old Fold Lane, Hadley Green, Barnet, EN5 4QN
Old Fold Manor, one of Hertfordshire's most popular golf clubs, was the site of the comparatively brief but rather bloody Battle of Barnet in 1471. Within easy reach of the M25, A1 and M1, Old Fold Manor offers high quality golf, a fine pro shop, and a friendly welcome.
Golf was played unofficially by the locals as far back as 1880 and the new course was opened in 1910. Being based on gravel and 400 feet up, Old Fold is the highest point on the Great North Road between London and York which certainly helps drainage. The gravely soil also gives a particularly soft and ideal type of grass.
This superb heathland course has some of the finest and quickest greens in Hertfordshire, breathtaking views and is a challenge for all levels of golfer. The 6th fairway, 5th green and 2nd tee are known as Sunset Fields, so called because of their magnificent evening skies. Water adds interest at the second fairway, in front of the 13th tee, the picturesque pond on the dogleg 11th and the ancient moat of the original manor house. The formidable 18th is one of the finest of finishing holes. The large tree-lined moat surrounds the green.
Old Fold Manor prides itself in being one of the friendliest clubs in Hertfordshire and is truly a club full of history, which has been graced by many historic golfers including the great Harry Vardon.
