Still relatively new, the nine-hole course at Hartford Golf Club is a fabulous little gem to play, offering golfers all sorts of challenges and tests to cater for all levels of ability and experience. It meanders around mature woodland and presents some holes that will cause head scratching for even the most experienced golfer. It is also built on sandy, well-drained land so only extreme weather conditions will force play to stop.

The overhanging trees are always a threat to any wayward shot, and the greens - built to specific USGA standards - are well guarded. Watch out in particular for the signature hole of the course, the downhill, 190 yard par-3 seventh that can play havoc with your scorecard.
