Royal Blackheath Golf Club, London, United Kingdom

Royal Blackheath is widely recognised as the oldest golf club in the world. It moved to it's present site in 1923. The clubhouse, a magnificent 17th century mansion, houses a magnificent collection of golfing memorabilia.
The course enjoys all the merits of parkland golf, in the shape of old, seasoned turf which produces excellent fairways and smooth, true greens. It has been shrewdly landscaped and planted with trees. The wide variety and beauty of these, often ancient trees is very much a feature of the course. It’s hard to believe you’re just nine miles from the City of London.
The holes are sound and of a good length, the course having been very much improved since it was remodelled by James Braid, five-time Open Champion.
The most memorable characteristic of the current Blackheath course is the strength of its start and finish. We believe that the first four holes are as challenging a start to a round of golf as can be found anywhere, including the courses on the Open Championship rota.
