History

Pictured: Arthur Balfour MP

6 | East Herts Golf Club

Lime Kiln Farm, Ware was bought by Albert Sandeman of “Port” fame who with Basil Richardson founded East Herts Golf Club which was opened on 9th November 1899.

The formal opening was by Arthur Balfour MP for Hertford (1874-85)

and later Prime Minister (1902-06).

The original course, which more or less corresponds to the Chadwell Springs course, was designed

by J H Taylor who won the British Open 5 times!

In October 1922 the clubhouse burnt down to the ground, along with all the records, clubs and lockers. The Club was offered the freehold of the course in 1925 by Mr. Sandeman but, following the fire, the members were unable to raise the money. Herbert Garrett bought the land in 1929 and in 1949 offered the course and buildings to the Club – but again the price of £9,500 proved

difficult.

However, East Herts continued as leaseholders at Chadwell Springs until 1971.

The club was forced to seek a new home in 1971 because of the planned Hertford-Ware A10 bypass which bisected the golf course.

By November 1971 the Action Committee consisting of Captain Alf Hayes, F. S. Nicholl, Stan Rippon, Jack Watts, Ray Yorke and Club Secretary Hayden “Jimmy” James had started work on the 127 acre estate at Hamels Park, Buntingford to convert it into what is now East Herts Golf Club.

The new course was designed by former club professional David Lewis and Head Greenkeeper David Hunt with the aid of John Bennett and Jack Watts.

‘State of the Art’ American greens were constructed – the first of their

kind in England – consisting of 40% soil, 50% sand and 10% peat over 100 tons of shingle.

The Course has undergone many changes since its opening in 1974 with holes being lengthened, bunkers added, bunkers removed and in 2005 the 6th Green was relocated to prevent golf balls flying into the Mansion grounds. No one can play East Herts Golf Club without enjoying the splendour of Hamels Mansion. Mentioned in the Domesday Book the original Mansion was built in 1580 and the building we see today was rebuilt in 1834.

Dutch Elm disease had its effect on the many specimen elm trees and the storm of 1987 caused further damage, most notably to the magnificent Lebanon Cedar tree on the 1st.

Over 1,000 golf balls were found in that tree when clearing up after the storm!

A tree management plan has been in operation for many years, preserving, maintaining and renewing our greatest asset.

Course drainage is currently top of the list, ensuring the very best conditions for members and visitors throughout the year.

Head Greenkeeper David Hunt in 1973

East Herts Golf Club | 7

The Course & Course Tour Head Greenkeeper, Neil Faubel, has worked at the Club for 27 years, becoming Head Greenkeeper in 2004. He and his team work tirelessly to produce a golf course in exceptional condition throughout the year.

Practice facilities include a 4 hole Par 3 Academy course, dedicated chipping and pitching green and practice bunkers all complementing the practice ground. Practice nets conveniently situated near the car park provide for that ‘warm up’ prior to your round.

Over the next few pages take a guided tour around the course, noting the Professional’s tips and then come and play and enjoy Hertfordshire’s best kept secret!

Hole 16

Par 4, 409 Yards

Professional Tip:

The left side of the fairway at this tough par four is a must if you intend on hitting the green in two. A subtle two tiered green often requires an extra club.

409 Yards, Par 4, SI 2

Hole 17

399 Yards, Par 4, SI 2

328 Yards, Par 4, SI 6

Par 5, 493 Yards

Professional Tip:

Don’t be put off by the stunning views as concentration is certainly required at this tricky yet relatively short par five. A neatly threaded second shot should leave a short pitch to this narrow green.

493 Yards, Par 5, SI 8

Hole 18

456 Yards, Par 5, SI 8

390 Yards, Par 5, SI 12

Par 3, 192 Yards

A well protected finishing hole with a long but narrow green.

Finish with a par here and you’ve earned your visit to the 19th.

We at East Herts are aware that Juniors play an important role in the Club and the Pros run a number of roll-ups at weekends for aspiring young golfers.

Custom Fitting Golf club custom fitting used to be a luxury just for the professionals, but it is now widely available for all amateur golfers, taking into consideration their height, swing speed, and technique.

Today’s golf magazines and websites are full of advertisements for new clubs offering the latest technology with claims that they will revolutionise your game, but this technology by itself may do nothing for your game. If the loft, face angle, length,

shaft weight or flex of the latest revolutionary driver is wrong for you, it ain’t going to improve your tee shots!

To Book an appointment please call us on 01920 821978 option 2 or email Daniel Field directly at Daniel@fieldgolf.co.uk

Using the latest Sky Trak technology Daniel Field and his professional team offer one of the best club fitting services around. You will address the ball with the correct posture, develop a better swing plane, improve your ball striking technique and thus improve your scores.
