Heritage

Letchworth Garden City has a singular place in British history as the world's first garden city, conceived in the early 1900s by Ebenezer Howard as a utopian fusion of town and country. That founding philosophy — green space as a civic right, not a luxury — gives golf here a fitting context. The Hertfordshire countryside rolls gently through this part of the county, with mature trees, hedgerows, and the kind of unhurried English parkland atmosphere that rewards players who pay attention to the land rather than simply the card.

Heritage sits within that tradition, the name itself a nod to the setting's unusual cultural weight. A par 71 suggests a layout with some asymmetry in its hole mix — likely a pair of par 5s offset by an extra par 3 — which tends to reward precise iron play and a reliable short game over raw distance.

Hertfordshire is quietly well-served for golf, with several respected parkland and heathland courses within reach, making this corner of the home counties a reliable destination for those touring the region.
