what's it like to go to The Grove? Tiger Woods won he 2006 Open Championship at The Grove Real Madrid stayed at the resort before the 2024 Champions League final England national teams frequently stay ahead of their games at Wembley By Alex Mccarthy Published: 21:57 BST, 6 August 2024 | Updated: 21:57 BST, 6 August 2024 e-mail View comments It's been 18 years since a major golf Championship - and Tiger Woods - graced The Grove, a golf course and resort just off the M25 on the outskirts of Watford . Walking the grounds and playing the course, you'd never know it. The Grove has become the destination for elite football sides prior to stepping out at Wembley.

The England men's national team have been staying there for years and Real Madrid set-up base there ahead of their Champions League Final victory earlier this year. An immaculately kept football pitch at the back of the grounds is just a part of the package. A luxury spa, a summertime outside cinema, a variety of restaurants, nature trails, stunning rooms and, of course, a must-play golf course are part of the top tier ensemble.

While golf's very best hasn't been back to The Grove in a while, plenty in the sporting world have for one reason or another and given all the grounds has to offer, it's easy to see why. Mail Sport stayed the night and played a round of golf at their picturesque grounds to see.
