About the courses

Brocket Hall's two Championship Golf Courses are named after the Prime Ministers who used to reside at Brocket Hall.

The Melbourne follows the natural undulations and contours of the 18th Century parkland. It provides a most enjoyable challenge in stunning surroundings. The course crosses the River Lea several times, and golfers are carried across the Broadwater by a ferry to complete the 18th hole.
The Palmerston winds its way through mature woodland. Rare Hornbeam, Scots and Corsican pine and 300 year old beech trees create some of the most spectacular hazards you are ever likely to encounter on a golf course.
Tournaments played here include Professional and Members' tournaments as well as Pro-Ams where Members can meet and play with Professionals from around the world.

Course Reviews

A breathtaking venue boasting two fine courses.
The Melbourne is the more spectacular and the more obviously "designed" with water never far away climaxing with the spectacular par 5 18th. Take plenty of balls!
The Palmerston rewards the longer and more adventurous driver with a course more in tune with its natural surroundings - beware the chalk cavern!
Not an inexpensive day but certainly challenging and ultimately fulfilling.
