History

Langley Park  golf course was designed by J.H.Taylor (one of the “triumvirate) who won the Open Championship on 5 occasions.

The course was built on a parkland site, opening in 1910, and was formerly part of the Goodhart Estate and still retains much of the original flat terrain dominated by many maturing oak trees. It is a haven of peace and solitude which is surprising considering its close proximity to the centre of London.

The course is set in 120 acres and measures 6453 off the medal tees with a par of 69 which provides an unrelenting, but fair, challenge to the serious golfer. The course has been used as an Open qualifier on numerous occasions and is well known for its exceptional greens. The yellow and red tees are slightly more forgiving but still create a fine test for all standards.

In 1926 Henry Cotton, at the age of 19, took up his first job as a full time professional golfer at Langley Park. He left in 1933 and won his first Open the next year.

The Club has produced many fine golfers over the years including Peter Hedges (Walker Cup),Toby Shannon (British Boys Champion), Roger Chapman (English Amateur Champion), Sarah German (English and British International Player), George Jackson (British one armed Champion).
