Background
History
Moor Park Country Club was founded in 1923, with three golf courses set within the Moor Park estate, and Moor Park Mansion as its clubhouse. Sandy Herd was the club's first professional. The club was reformed as Moor Park Golf Club after the courses were acquired by the local authority in 1937 for use as a public open space, intended to be part of London's green belt. The club currently has approximately 1500 members, of whom 1000 are golfers, the remainder being composed of tennis members and social members. The club is run by a board of directors, all of whom are unpaid club members.
Visiting
Moor Park was featured in Sir John Betjeman's BBC TV documentary Metro-land (1973). Moor Park doubled as the Drumnadrochit Hotel in the 2point4 Children episode “Malcolm X” (Series 7, Episode 3, aired 12 March 1998).
