The course and its history

Brent Valley was founded in 1909 as Springfield Park Golf Club, and J.H. Taylor designed the course. Ealing Council bought it in 1938 to protect it from development and opened it as a public course that year. It is a traditional parkland layout in the Brent valley, using the natural lie of the land and well-placed bunkers to challenge all handicaps. The resident Brent Valley Golf Club was named Middlesex Club of the Year in 2021.

Booking and visitor practicalities

Tee times can be booked online or through the Everyone Golf app. The venue is open seven days a week. Facilities include a practice area, putting and chipping greens, buggy, trolley and club hire, changing rooms, a clubhouse with food and drink, and a gym. The operator has reported that the bridge on the 13th hole is closed, so check the signs at reception before your round.

Getting there
