Hertfordshire

Located approximately 20 miles north of London, the course features rolling terrain with significant elevation changes, passing through mature woodland including Hornbeam, Scots Pine, Corsican Pine, and 500-year-old Oak trees that create a distinctive parkland setting framed by these ancient specimen trees. The course presents a considerable challenge with a course rating of 74.0 and slope rating of 130, characterized by strategically positioned bunkers and undulating greens rather than water hazards. Notable holes include the par-3 5th and 14th which play downhill, the uphill par-3 8th tucked amongst trees, the par-5 9th with greenside bunkers defending an approach in two shots, and the distinctive par-4 12th featuring an unusual chalk face approximately 100 yards from the green that requires precise approach shot placement. The design emphasizes a thinking golfer's course with multiple routing options off the tee. Brocket Hall is situated on a 543-acre estate and operates two championship courses, with the Palmerston providing a contrasting layout to the earlier Melbourne Course.
