London Club (International)
While the Heritage course here is for members and their guests, the International is in the Golf Monthly Next 100 and open to all. There really is little to choose between them in terms of challenge and enjoyment, with the International having a modern, downland look and feel. It opens with a superb par 5 played down to a lakeside green, before a few well-bunkered holes on higher ground. You return to the same lake for the thrilling par-3 8th, while the backbone of an equally strong back nine comes at the very dramatic 12th, a short hole over a pond from an elevated tee, and the 13th, a fabulous par 5 with bunkers, a split fairway, trees and water. The course is kept in tip-top condition all year, and there is a refreshingly unstuffy atmosphere inside the spacious and well-appointed clubhouse.
Par 72, 6,594 yards
