Highgate GC University Graduates
Welcome to the University Graduate page. If you are moving to London following graduation, having played golf to a good standard at university, and you are looking to join a London club, then the ''''Gate'''' is well worth considering. Recently classified by Golf Monthly as a "hidden gem" Highgate has a history of attracting top quality golfers and has 2 past English University Stroke Play champions and 2 President Putter winners within its membership.
If you are new to London then accomodation will be a top priority and you will find a great choice of well priced accomodation to rent or buy only a few minutes from Highgate, including Archway, Crouch End, Muswell Hill, Kentish Town, Camden Town and Tuffnell Park. All have excellent links into either the City or West End for work and also have many good restaurants, bars and a cosmopolitan nightlife.
Highgate celebrated its centenery in 2004 and is a superb mature, hilly parkland course. A couple of holes are currently being extended taking the course to over 6000 yards, but with 4 long par fours and only one tricky par 5 Highgate is a very challenging par 69, SSS 69, supporting the fact that the Amateur course record has stood at 66 for the past 25 years. Straight driving and patience is the key to low scoring!
At Highgate our ethos is to remain a private members club insuring that booking a tee time is only necessaary for the monthly medal. We are one of the very few London clubs that do not allow green fees at weekends unless as guests of members. We are also avid supporters of the great traditions of the game with many singles and foursomes competitions throughout the year.
