The course, which lies on the south-facing side of the Misbourne Valley, dates back to 1907 when it was laid out for the recreational use of members of the House of Commons and the legal establishment. As a safe haven from London it proved popular especially with Lord Birkett, the judge who presided over the trial of Sir Oswald Mosley during the Second World War at which time it was a private club. Now a members' club, the portcullis on the club badge testifies to its Parliamentary origin.
Harewood is a pretty course, well endowed with a rich variety of trees - birch, cypress, ash, maple, plum and cherry - and has some stunning views. Whenever you play, remember one thing - that all putts gravitate towards the road!
The best holes include the 11th, a 419 yard par 4. It requires laser-like accuracy off the tee, followed by a blind shot over the brow to the narrow entry to the green. The 200-yard par three 12th (our signature hole) presents a formidable target over a deep valley, which the long uphill par five 13th re-crosses en route to a green nestling in the woods.
Many admire the par three 3rd, only 147 yards but fiercely bunkered and with a sloping green which makes it difficult to get the ball near the flag.
