YOUR WHAT THEY SAY… Trent Park Golf Course, a Hugh Stovin / Peter Alliss & Clive Clark design, built in 1974, is the most accessible Public Golf Course in North London. It is set in some of London’s finest Green Belt countryside in the Trent Park Country Park between Southgate and Enfield The golf course with its stunning views and lush fairways is a Par 70 over 6,175 yards set amongst both woodland and parkland and is both challenging and forgiving for all levels of golfing ability. Under the management of American Golf Discount and Crown Golf it earned the reputation as probably the best maintained and most challenging public golf course in London and welcomes visitors 7 days a week. WHAT WE SAY… Never judge a book by it’s cover. Driving in to this place is like driving up to the changing rooms on a Sunday morning council football pitch, it doesn’t look great. You are greeted with low slung 70′s brick buildings that have seen better days, a tired club house with a burger a van next to it and a worn out looking pro shop, but don’t let that put you off ,this is a good place to play golf. YOURCADDY SCORE... Once you get past the rough and ready look of the car entrance and car park you will find it has plenty to offer, the pro shop is well stock and staffed by knowledgeable guys, the driving range is well looked after with plenty of different ways to warm up your game and there is a large putting green and chipping green just before you head to the first tee. You need to make sure you grab a course guide if you haven’t played here before, you need to know where to play your ball as there are well placed hazard on most holes. The first hole is a 470 yard par 5 dog leg left, you need to be pretty straight, the driving range sits up against the fairway on your left and anything pushed out to the right will be collected by the rough fed by the steep slope or in to the two large fairway bunkers. A good tee shot will still leave you with a question, “go for the green or lay up in front 30 YOURCADDY | ISSUE 01 • GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY •  OOD COURSE & SELECTION G OF HOLES • SLOW PLAY AT WEEKENDS • POOR CLUCHOUSE
