Porters Park is a classic 6,529-yard parkland course constructed in 1899. Its early design was influenced heavily by John Henry “˜JH’ Taylor, one of the pioneers of the modern game, and Charles Kenneth Cotton who went on to become one of the UK’s most distinguished post-war golf architects.
Picturesque, tree-lined, fairways make effective use of the natural contours and undulations of the land and, with magnificent greens and a brook weaving through many holes, the course conspires to present a fair but testing challenge to golfers of all abilities.
Inspiring and playable throughout the year, its base of loam clay, sand, and gravel gives the course a natural and remarkable ability to recover quickly from the heaviest of rain. As a result, temporary greens and tees are never in use and our course rarely closes.
The club has hosted regional Open Championship qualifying events on six occasions, is home to a number of prestigious amateur events, and is officially recognised by England Golf as one of Hertfordshire’s finest courses.
Many of the great names of golf have played matches or exhibitions at Porters Park, including Harry Vardon, James Braid, John Henry ‘JH’ Taylor, Abe Mitchell, Henry Cotton, Ted Ray, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Peter Thomson, Neil Coles, Ken Brown, Nick Faldo and Lee Westwood.
Famous past members include Samuel Ryder, creator of the Ryder Cup, and two past Walker Cup players, Brian Chapman, and Peter Townsend, with Peter having played in both the Walker Cup and Ryder Cup teams as well as assuming the mantle of Captain of the PGA. Visitors have included a number of sports, film, and show business personalities including Sean Connery, Henry Cooper, Des Lynam, and Gary Lineker.
