Sandy Lodge Golf Course was founded in 1910. It was formed by a frustrated London businessman who was tired of playing golf on muddy parks around London and realised that the sandy soil of Sandy Lodge Farm would be perfect for playing golf. During the Second World War it was turned over to grazing but was restored afterwards although some of the sandy areas were lost to tree and shrub growth. The London LOOP passes diagonally across the course from south-west to north-east although nearest to the former it is mostly rough grassland as seen here. The line of pylons follow the LOOP for the first part.
