Chorleywood Common
Chorleywood Golf Course. The club was founded in 1890 and is the oldest club in Hertfordshire. It was originally an 18 hole course with 2 holes across the railway and in 1922 the course was reduced to 9 holes and laid out by James Braid. In the Great War the Common was used for bombing practice and later 150 live grenades were cleared.  In the Second World War  the clubhouse became as an emergency first aid post for the ARP. The new Clubhouse was opened in 1990.
