The Course

Few can doubt the beauty of the West Surrey course with its tree-lined fairways and contrasting scenes of the Surrey landscape. The course winds slowly upwards towards its highest point 440 feet above sea level, round the 16th tee. From there, apart from a teasing climb to the 17th, it begins a gentle descent back to the clubhouse and it is not fanciful imagination to say that it has the tranquillity and charm of a bygone age.

Opened in 1910, the course was designed by the the renowned architect of that time, W Herbert Fowler, who created nearly 40 courses in England, Scotland, Wales and America, most famously Walton Heath.
 

 
Until recently the course measured 6,259 yards but with the replacement of all greens to USGA standard this has been extended to 6,482 yards with a few even more challenging drives required. The finest quality greens and the introduction of fairway watering ensures the course is always presented to the highest standard at all times of the year.
