The Gog Magog Golf Club (Old course)

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 1901

The Gog Magog Golf Club (Old course): You will not find the giants Gog and Magog roaming these hills any longer, as legend says they once did. What you will find is a friendly and welcoming golf club, two picturesque and challenging courses, and the home of Cambridge university undergraduate golf.

The Old course (1901) is the more charming, the Wandlebury (1997) is considerably more open and still a long way from maturity. On the Old course the first two holes take you up onto a kind of plateau, which gives spectacular views over Cambridge and the surrounding hills. The 16th, 17th and 18th bring you back down again in equally spectacular fashion.
