It’s been branded as a tour quality venue with an ‘inland links’ The Centurion Club Experience

This is most definitely not intended as a criticism but you won’t confuse Centurion Club with Brancaster. There is also a country club feel to the experience – which may be due to the expertly crafted, stone walls and water features on the 18th sat beside the well-appointed modern clubhouse. The aesthetic is polished and manicured with a resort feel to the course. The rough is fine fescue and the greens bent resulting in fast and true putting surfaces. A drive to a fairway running away from you sets up an approach extremely downhill to a tilted green over a pond. The 12th is also an interesting hole that could divide opinion. However, there is a slightly awkward set of three holes that play parallel to each other in 8, 9 & 10. The layout itself is memorable, which some would say is an indication of a superb design. The course is visually quite stunning and would excel in this regard if not for the overhead powerlines running parallel to the M1 which is adjacent to the course. The use of the dual par 3 bridge is quite clever and most would be unaware of the genius of it unless pointed out. The par 3 14th provides the bridge back to the northern parcel for the finishing stretch of holes. The par 3 5th links you to holes 6 through 13 which are located on the southern section of the property on rolling, open terrain. Holes 1-4 begin on the northern section of land with a woodland-type feel.

However, it is the 13th, which demonstrates possibly the best view on any golf hole across England. The former, a relatively long par-4 sweeps down from the right hand side, and presents a picturesque green-side lake, protecting a green which sits 70 yards below the approach shot. The back nine offers a spectacular variety of golfing holes, including the breath-taking 12th and 13th. The 6th hole is a hole to be remembered, uphill from the tee, this tough par-4 requires a deadly accurate second as a swath of bunkers, rough-strewn hollows and lateral hazards populate the area within 100 yards of the green. Often a nervous tee shot, Centurion requires players to hit the fairway on hole 1, or a high score could be on the card immediately.Īfter three holes within the trees, the course opens up, showcasing stunning panoramic views across the countryside. The first hole, is one of the best opening holes across Britain, a real challenge framed by trees each side. In the individual competition, Nelly Korda's prowess and ability to handle the tough conditions proved too much for the rest of the field as she claimed a four-stroke victory at -11.Ĭenturion Club is Hertfordshire's newest offering, an undulating layout with elevated tees and strategically placed hazards and dense tree line.
