About the Course

HOME OF THE RYDER CUP

The fourth hole is one of the most challenging, requiring a well-placed drive. A marker post guides the way.

Verulam is a James Braid designed course renowned for its small, fast and undulating greens. The course is well defined and sets a premium on accuracy and shot control. Out of bounds is a danger at many holes and there are numerous other hazards to negotiate.

The course presents an interesting test of golf, offering a variety of challenges to the experienced golfer - as evidenced by the amateur and professional current course records of 66 and 67 respectively.

The course measures 6,429 yards (par 72) from the white tees. In summer, the ball really does run, although the best scores result from being straight and having a good short game rather than through long hitting that does not follow the fairway.

The 4th hole is one of the most challenging holes on the card. At 398 yards even off the yellow tees, it requires a long well placed drive, with an accurate approach shot to be hit blind over the brow of a hill. A marker post guides the way. The River Ver comes into play on a number of holes and there is a range of well-place banks, mounds and more than adequate bunkering making shot accuracy a premium throughout the course.

The signature hole is the challenging 14th played with water down the right and trees on the left requiring accuracy from the tee. The approach to the green requires you to negotiate two well placed bunkers and then once the green is reached the view from the top of the hill is spectacular, framing the St Albans Abbey on the skyline.

We take great pride in both the year-round condition of our course and in the pace and subtlety of our greens, arguably amongst the finest in Hertfordshire.

Due to its excellent draining characteristics, the course is rarely closed in winter and temporary greens are used only in exceptional wet weather.
