Northwood offers golfers a wealth of choice, with many golf clubs in the local area. Chief among them is Northwood Golf Club, which has seen much change since it was founded in 1891. Originally built as a 9-hole golf course, it was expanded to 18 holes in 1920 and then mown up to grow potatoes, make hay, and graze sheep to support the war efforts. You won’t find sheep on the fairways today, just a beautiful course and a refurbished club house nestled at the edge of Ruislip Woods.
Sandy Lodge Golf Club sits in the midst of the Moor Park estate, offering both a beautiful and central location. Open since 1910, the 18-hole course was designed by six time Open Championship winner Harry Vardon. Members can choose to enjoy leisurely games or embark on competitions, with coaching and excellent practice facilities on-site.
History of Northwood
As its name would suggest, Northwood was once an area of forest and woodland. It was referenced in the Domesday Book, but despite its proximity to London, it remained a vast woodland until the 19th century. During this time, the Holy Trinity Church – which can still be visited today – was opened to serve the local residents, many of whom were farmers and agricultural labourers.
Development slowly continued, with the arrival of the Metropolitan railway in 1888. With transport to the capital now easily accessible, Northwood made the transition from rural hamlet to an urban residential area.
Although much of the woodland has now been replaced with housing developments, large pockets of greenery have been preserved. It gives an insight into the area’s past and provides a rural haven for the residents of Northwood.
Below, you’ll find a selection of links to organisations and businesses serving the local area.
