Canons Brook Golf Club was designed by Sir Henry Cotton, whose philosophy was to create a championship length course with very little rough, but incorporating many bunkers and large undulating greens, a task he accomplished with style. The course officially opened in 1966. Sir Henry has designed the course in such a way that the aspiring golfer must exhibit a wide repertoire of shots if they are to master the course. It was his intention that regardless of standard, every golfer should be rewarded for thoughtful and skilful play, rather than power alone. Situated in 112 acres of mature rolling countryside, the 18 hole, 6,706 yard par 73 championship course makes excellent use of the surrounding landscape and its numerous natural and man-made hazards and beautiful features.
