We’re pleased to share the latest progress on the irrigation upgrade project, which is now entering its final stages.   All primary pipework across the course has been successfully installed. This is a significant milestone, meaning no further large machinery will be required for the lateral works. As a result, disruption moving forward will be minimal as we focus on the finishing details.   18th Hole Works To allow us to complete the final sprinkler installation, the 18th ho

It was fantastic to see such a great turnout for our recent Quiz & Curry Night on 31st March, with over 120 members and guests joining us for what proved to be a brilliant evening at Harleyford.   The atmosphere in the clubhouse was buzzing, with teams enjoying a mix of friendly competition, great food, and plenty of laughs throughout the night.

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate one of our talented junior members, Rafferty Fry, who recently represented Harleyford at the prestigious  Daily Mail World Junior Golf Championships  in Marbella.   Competing against some of the very best young golfers from around the world at Villa Padierna, Rafferty made a fantastic start—finishing day one inside the top five. Day two brought tougher conditions and a shift in momentum, seeing him drop outside the top 20 and facing an uphi

The new season is well underway, and what a start it has been. Both Captains would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the season’s opening events and the Captain’s Drive-In. With a fantastic turnout, great energy on the patio, and even some sunshine to match, it was the perfect way to begin what promises to be a memorable year.   A key focus for the season ahead is a strong commitment to a  “One Club”  philosophy. With both Men’s and Women’s se

Following a challenging period of weather-related delays, we’re pleased to report that work on the irrigation project is now progressing extremely well. The recent spell of dry weather has made a significant difference on site, allowing the team to accelerate works and access areas that were previously too wet to operate on.   Excellent Progress Across the Course To date, substantial ground has been covered. Installation works are now complete on: 2nd Tees 2nd Fairway pipewor

We’re delighted to launch our brand-new Friday Night Members Draw at Harleyford Golf Club this season. It’s a fantastic way to reward our playing members, create a great Friday evening atmosphere, and give everyone another reason to stay and enjoy the clubhouse after golf.   How It Works Every Friday at 19:00hrs, one playing member will be selected at random by membership number. The draw is open to all active playing members  (excluding corporate and junior members) . To win

Since the course opened in 1996, the 2nd and 17th holes have occasionally been… lively!   Last summer, I spent time observing play in that area (yes — deckchair and clipboard included). Here’s what I found: 273 golfers  observed playing either the 2nd or 17th 61 golfers  played their second shot from the  opposing fairway   That’s a significant number — and it’s not about golfing ability. It’s about the way the 17th hole has naturally encouraged players to favour the left sid

What a busy couple of weeks it’s been — and I thought I was winding down!   Our recent 9-Hole Flag Competition was won by Kay Woolley — very well done, Kay (especially given the rather rainy conditions…!).   We were also delighted to see Amy Watters and Sue Cooke progress to the finals of the BCLGA Winter Greensomes. They will play at Burnham Beeches against a pair from Ellesborough or Gerrards Cross. Best of luck to you both — bring that trophy home again as defending champi

And they’re off.   This morning marked a significant milestone as our irrigation project resumed at full capacity. After several challenging weeks of weather disruption, it was fantastic to see the team back on site and making strong progress once again. To allow the next phase of installation to move forward safely and efficiently, the 3rd Hole has been closed, and the 17th tees have been brought forward. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while these essent

Significant progress continues on the new irrigation installation, with Tee 16, Green 16 and Tee 17 (partially) now successfully installed.   While recent weather conditions and sustained rainfall have inevitably slowed certain elements of the programme, the team has made excellent headway wherever ground conditions have allowed. The primary challenge has not simply been pipe and sprinkler installation, but ensuring high-quality reinstatement of fine turf following the mole p

We’re delighted to share some fantastic news with our members — our Assistant Professional, George Howlett, is returning to Harleyford Golf Club on Thursday 12th February.   George’s return is something we know many members, as well as the wider Harleyford team, have been looking forward to. He has been greatly missed, and we’re excited to welcome him back to the Club.   George brings a huge amount of energy, experience, and enthusiasm, along with a familiar face that so many

Many of you may have noticed that the use of fairway mats is becoming increasingly common across golf clubs throughout the UK. With harsher winters and hotter, drier summers predicted to become the norm, more and more courses are introducing mats as a way to protect turf, reduce wear, and maintain fair playing conditions throughout the year.   With this in mind, Harleyford Golf Club would like to stay ahead of the curve by trialling fairway mats on a temporary basis.   Trial

Since joining Harleyford Golf Club in July 2021, I have seen a huge amount of change and progress across the course. From major tree work and ditch installations, to bunker renovations and now the exciting development of a new irrigation system, it has been an incredible time to be part of the greenkeeping team.   I started my career at Harleyford as an Assistant Greenkeeper with no previous experience, but from the beginning I have been committed to learning, developing my s

Despite a spell of heavy rain slowing ground conditions, good progress continues across the course as we move forward with our irrigation upgrade. While the weather has meant contractors can’t safely work in certain areas at the moment, the team has been making excellent use of available windows and focusing on detailed finishing work to keep the project moving in the right direction. What’s Been Happening On Site Over recent days, the team has been out across the course car

Our greenkeeping team have been making excellent progress across the course in recent weeks, despite some challenging winter conditions, with work focused on presentation, playability, and preparing the course for the season ahead.   Tree clearing has now been completed on the 17th hole, helping to improve light levels and airflow, while extensive leaf collection has taken place in key wooded areas left of the 11th tee, behind the 10th tee, and along the right-hand side of th
