Royal Epping Forest Golf Club
Parkland Course in Chingford, London, England
Nestled on the fringes of the ancient Epping Forest in England, Royal Epping Forest Golf Club offers a journey through golfing history on land once used as medieval hunting grounds. Established in 1888 with an initial layout by Willie Dunn Jr., the course saw modifications by the esteemed James Braid, shaping it into the parkland test it is today. The course is characterized by its undulating terrain, winding through mature woodland with tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy. Strategic bunkering and the occasional water hazard, notably guarding the 10th green, add to the challenge. While not typically cited among the UK's elite courses or a regular host for Open Championship qualifying, Royal Epping Forest provides a traditional and engaging round with greens that can be deceptively quick, offering a varied test for golfers amidst a historic backdrop.
