This is a tranquil haven that all golfers ought to put on their "must-play" list. Richmond GC is over 100-years-old and when you are strolling down the tree-lined fairways it seems like little has changed. For any golfers looking for a game this weekend it's well worth a visit.

Course lowdown: The course isn?t long but it?s no pushover. Tight fairways, encroaching trees and five tricky par 3s make playing to handicap no mean feat. The toughest hole, the 15th ? 425 yards uphill, means anything to the right is a lost ball.

Green Fees: wd £25 round/day, we £30 round, £35 day, Monday £10 round
