Jack Nicklaus Signature Championship Golf Near London

London Golf Club’s Heritage Course stands as one of only three Jack Nicklaus Signature designs in England, representing the Golden Bear’s vision of championship golf just 20 miles from London. Set within 700 acres of rolling Kent countryside near Brands Hatch, this prestigious venue hosted the European Open in 2008 and 2009, establishing itself as one of the South East’s premier golfing destinations.

Jack Nicklaus Signature Design Excellence

The Heritage Course embodies Jack Nicklaus’s philosophy of strategic golf course design, featuring dramatic tee shots, daunting approaches, and immaculately maintained greens running at tournament speeds. Every hole demands careful consideration, with water hazards, deep bunkers, and undulating fairways creating a memorable challenge for golfers of all abilities. The course measures 7,208 yards from the championship tees with a par of 72.
