Lee Valley Golf Course

Lee Valley Golf Course in Edmonton, north London, is an 18-hole public parkland course of 5,198 yards and par 67. It uses the River Lee and large lakes as hazards. Tee times can be booked online, and its short length suits beginners and juniors, while narrow fairways and water still test better players.

The course

The course is laid out beside the River Lee in north London, using the natural features of the valley. Large lakes and the river come into play, and Today's Golfer counts water on 10 holes. Narrow fairways and water reward accuracy over power, while the modest yardage makes it manageable for newer golfers. Today's Golfer picks out the 15th, a right-hand dog-leg par 4 that climbs to a two-tier green.

Booking and visitor practicalities

The course is open daily from 9am until dusk. Tee times are booked online through Visit Lee Valley. Golf buggies can be hired, and a loyalty card gives a free sixth round after five paid rounds. Leaside Golf Club is based at the course for anyone who wants regular competitions. Membership has no joining fee and includes use of the practice holes. For course conditions, call the dedicated line on 03000 030 649 before you set off.
