BERKHAMSTED, HERTS

Architect: George H Gowring/james Braid (1890). Yardage: 6,220-6,605 (par 71).

Green fees: £55 midweek, £60 weekends.

In a nutshell… Classy heathland with swathes of heather, bracken and gorse lurking to punish wayward strikes. Opens with a gentle par 4, but don’t let that lull you into a false sense of security.

You’ll love the… Lack of any bunkers! With it being on the short side, brain definitely rules over brawn and good course strategy is more important than power.
