Welcome
***Ryder Cup special membership offer - see Membership page***
Woodford Golf Club is one of the oldest clubs in north-east London and Essex and a founder member of the Essex Golf Union. We are a 9-hole course set in Epping Forest land but within easy reach of the M11 and North Circular, as well as close to underground and overground rail services.
The course was designed by Tom Dunn, a working colleague of the world-famous golf course architect Harry S Colt, and constructed in 1890 as a "links in the forest". With its tree-lined fairways and excellent undulating greens, it is ideal for golfers whose time is limited and who are unable to play the full 18 holes every time.
It is especially good for those long summer evenings when it is possible to play 9 holes (or more) if teeing off after 6pm. It is also possible to play just 4 or 5 holes without a long walk between holes if time is even more limited. Of course, golfers can play the full 18, with different tees coming into operation for the "back 9".
We are a small but friendly club, with membership including active Ladies' and Seniors' sections and a number of junior golfers. Our professional, Adam Baker, is active in coaching all levels of golfer, from beginnners and juniors to seniors, low and high handicappers alike, in addition to maintaining a well-stocked shop.
There is a popular bar and dining area, both of which are available for private hire.
Outside tee closures for members-only competitions and inter-club matches, there is no booking system - it is easy just to turn up and play.
Visitors are most welcome. Green fee rates are reasonably priced and include day membership of the club and access to the bar and restaurant.
In addition to full membership, we run an Associate Membership scheme for those golfers who may just play irregularly or who may be uncertain about joining a club, for example. Details of both schemes are included in an information pack, which is obtainable from the club secretary's office on request, using the "Contact us" page on this website, or by clicking on the link on the "Membership" page.
