Rickmansworth Golf Course
Steeped in history, immaculately kept and with dramatic views over Rickmansworth and Moor Park Mansion, Tricky Ricky as it is known by golfers for good reason, is an 18 hole Par 65 course which tests golfers from the first tee to last green.Originally part of the Moor Park Estate, the course was designed by famous architect Harry Shapland Colt who was responsible for the design and remodelling of over 300 courses world wide, including the Eden Course at St Andrews and Augusta in the USA.
In 1937 Rickmansworth Urban District Council purchased the site from Moor Park Golf Club and opened it up to the general public. In 2000 with the aid of a Lottery Sports Award, Three Rivers District Council redeveloped the course, lengthening it to include a Par 5 hole and increasing the Par to 65 for men and 63 for women.A landscaped short game practice area for pitching, putting and chipping was also included and an extensive programme of lessons was developed and the popular Par 3 course, known as Little Ricky was made more challenging. This year has seen the development of a new irrigation system to ensure the existing high standard of greens and tees are maintained for the future
