The Best Golf Courses in Shalford, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

First and foremost, Hindhead is a must play golf course. It's different in a brilliant way. The front nine is rather unique and quite frankly exceptional to experience and play. I've played nothing quite like it in the UK, in fact anywhere. It left be breathless in more ways than one at times :). The back nine isn't quite as dramatic, but once again, it's an excellent nine holes of golf. From the pro shop to the bar staff, the whole off course experience is a friendly and welcoming one. The Aliss Bar is a lovely touch and brought back some wonderful memories. The photos won't do the course justice, so if you're in the area, please go and experience it all for yourself. You will not be disappointed - an exceptional course with the staff to match.

Underrated in my opinion. Greens last summer were incridible, so fast and rolled so well. The Front 9 is set in 2 parallele valleys, Ive never seen anything like it, very unique. The back 9 while not in the valleys is just as good and is quite typical of other heathlands in the area. Preferred Hindhead to Woking, West Hill and Worplesdon. Members were very friendly and the scampi wrap for lunch was delicious!

I played this golf course today in a match against hankley common 28/5/23 and I have to say it is an unbelievable golf course! It’s the nicest and best course I have ever played. Very picturesque. The greens are like lighting , very true and roll beautifully. The fairways are gorgeous. The club house is also good.. nice food and good beer on tap. I can’t recommend this golf course enough , you will not be disappointed.

Very good golf course and club. Last time I played the greens were glass table quick making any approach above the hole virtually impossible to two putt. Always enjoyable walk through the valleys with a further collection of very strong holes on the plateau for the back 9. Keep your ball out the heather if you can. When it gets long it can be a real card wrecker. Both times I’ve had lunch here it’s been Michelin guide worthy. Great day out if you get the invite. Few better courses in Surrey.

As a FGC member I feel luck to be part of this fantastic, friendly golf club. The course is in fantastic condition all year round and drains really well throughout the winter, temp greens really are a rarity. Golfers are rewarded for positional play throughout the round with a sound course strategy key, this is not a grip it and rip it course with wide open fairways and no trouble - being offline can easily cost you shots! The stretch between holes 5 - 12 is my favorite section of the course; I honestly can't understand why Farnham does feature higher in the England top 100. I have attached some of the pictures I have taken since joining the club in 2020, I cannot recommend coming and experiencing the club for yourself enough!

Great golf course in good condition in scenic surroundings. Tests every type of golf shot and is a great challenging course. You have to be in the right position in fairways otherwise you maybe blocked out by trees or in a bunker. Bunkers are of links type and use nice soft sand. Good facilities in clubhouse at reasonable prices. Will not hesitate to play this course again.

Absolutely 1st class service from the moment we arrived. I have played at many of the top courses around Hampshire,Surrey West Sussex and Farnham certainly beats them all when it comes to service and friendliness. The staff in the bar, kitchen were exceptional. The chef even came to the table to welcome us and make us feel welcome and help familiarise us with the place. All the bar staff were excellent, all happy and smiling. The pro shop and professionals could not have been nicer. The pro even came and sat with us after the round for 10 minutes to see how we got on, exceptional. Lovely time, couldn't fault it. The pro even allowed us free range balls to warm up, which by the way, the range is fantastic. 110% will be returning. Course conditions and views were up there with the best.

Played here this week (June 2021). The course is in great condition and the greens receptive. The bunkers are well kept and some have steep sides around the greens. There is a driving range here it's fairly basic, but is fine for a warm up. Guest rate is £35 and in my view worth it, the course is challenging but not overly so and most golfers will find it enjoyable. The staff are friendly and food and drink in the club house reasonably priced.

As the flagship home of the Burhill group the clubhouse and facilities at the site are modern and user friendly. The clubhouse is a coverted stately home type buliding and finished to a lovely standard. The practice facilities are good with a multi bay range and practice green. I didn't see a specific chipping green or practice bunker so don't know whether they have one or not but you can practice low short running chips on the putting green. The pro shop is well stocked and as with the whole experience, the staff were helpful and friendly. I only played the Old Course which was a perfectly well maintained parkland course but to be honest rather lacked any character. There were no real beautiful holes or picturesque views other than looking across the course is mostly flat and interspersed with good tree coverage. Whilst it is longer than your average course, that was the main defence. The fairways were wide with trees separating them but there was still plenty of space to spray a driver around. The rough was quite punishing and the first cut was of a length that meant there was a decent challenge making a good contact with the ball but was not so difficult as to impede play. There were some nice shaped holes with dog legs, providing challenges and a few tight approach shots, but nothing that was particularly challenging. Overall, I found the course to be a nice well-presented fairly standard parkland course which was slightly more interesting on the back nine with the introduction of some undulation. This however, was missing on the first nine holes giving it a rather mundane experience. The group i played with all had similar views. We enjoyed the course. The greens and fairways were all in great condition and consistent however we would not rush back to play the old course and don't think that it represents great value for a stand alone round. I am however hoping to play the new course at some point in the future, which i am assured will have more of a championship feel. The old course i would score a 7 out of ten as a nice long parkland course with the club house and friendly staff bringing the score up a notch to 4 stars.

We had a wonderful lunch here today. A beautiful setting, lovely atmosphere in the lounge, and our lady waitress was exceptional. What a pleasure to find good food, reasonably priced, so all in all, an excellent experience. Will definitely go again and can thoroughly recommend. Well done to all the caring, attentive staff.

An absolutely beautiful golf course with an amazing club shop and driving range. Even the club shop is above par. You will feel truly welcome here as a golfer or spectator. I can see why it is ranked so highly

We attended a Christmas party night held at this golf club yesterday. It was absolutely fantastic. Beautiful venue, delicious meal and wonderful service by all the staff. Great location with plenty of parking. Looking forward to another event next year! Recommended 👌🏽

Surrey is littered with fantastic golf courses so often really great clubs get over looked or not get the recognition they deserve. Clandon is definitely one of those clubs. Played a few weeks back with some pals and we were all really impressed with the quality of the course and also the facilities. Go check it out as soon as you can.

Played the course a couple of days ago for the first time. It’s a nice course. Fairways were in good condition and most of the tees. Greens had plenty of undulations and were quick. Enjoyed the day and food was great. The only gripe was the cost. Visitors fee is £55, which is reasonable. However, county card rate is £50, which is hardly worth having the discount. I would have expected the county card rate to be around £40 to £45, which would be more comparable with other courses of this type in the area. Unfortunately, until this cost adjustment is made, we are unlikely to return sadly. This the reason I rated 4 and not 5

Despite a bit of rain, the course was in fantastic shape, with beautiful autumn colors and smooth greens. The pro shop staff and members were all super friendly, making us feel right at home. The view of the clubhouse from the 18th hole looked straight out of a postcard! We wrapped up the day with a pint of Guinness at the bar, enjoying the view over the course. Can’t wait to come back!

Was pleasantly surprised with just how good condition the tee boxes, fairways and greens were. Especially considering the recent weather and the football. The pro shop seemed welcoming, the bunkers were GUR due to heavy rain but I would say this place is fantastic value. Not the longest course but it’s still challenges any parts of your game.

Played at this course today. Team very welcoming - both pro shop and bar. Challenging course but a lovely day to play. Course in good condition. Would love to play again.

Friendly and helpful staff in the pro shop set us off on our first visit with a smile and some advice regarding course layout and the bar staff were great afterwards. Great course with lovely greens and hidden thick grass hazards dotted in inconspicuous places. Nice use of water on a few holes makes you swallow your pride and think about how to play the hole to your strengths (made me realise I don’t have any lol). Would definitely revisit.

We visited the club as guests of a member. Absolutely amazing place, from the minute we arrived and the greetings plus service from the staff.The quality of presentation of facilities in the club house and restaurants and bar were outstanding. The history and memorabilia are brilliant and a remarkable history of golf The course is fabulous and every hole is a new vista and a delight. The whole place is beyond superlatives. If you get the chance to visit and play this is a once in a lifetime experience.

Visited for the BMW championship. Firstly the organisation was incredible took us barely any time to get into the ground and to get on buses back to the car park. The only real disappointment is the 18th access to the public; very little space for punter to see the action. I would also suggest they could do with starting the music entertainment a bit early to get punters to stay. The ground itself and the club is fantastic though and would highly recommend.

An excellent course for the PGA Golf Tournament. The buses from Ascot ran smoothly every 5 to 10 mins back and forth. Amazing views while walking between holes the course facilities were set out very well with coverage and stands located in perfect places. The grandstand views were fantastic. An overall excellent experience well worth the money per ticket.

Attended for the BMW Championship. Unbelievable couple of days! Place was flawless! Can't wait to go back next year!

Godalming Footpath Companions have enjoyed our annual Christmas lunches at Puttenham Golf Club for the past 7 years. The food is excellent and Andrea and the chef have been very helpful in accomodating different preferences and requirements. The service is friendly, attentive and professional. A delight from soup to mince pies, as they nearly say across the pond. Many thanks!

We had our 40th birthday party here after our original venue double booked us; Andrea from the events team saved the day! The menu we had was great and what we wanted, the space for our party was big and has some outdoor space which was handy. Andrea and her team were very helpful and accommodating. The girls helped with putting up decorations and were friendly, polite and went above and beyond. We are so thankful. At times planning a party can be overwhelming and Andrea was lovely and helpful in putting our thoughts together and coming up with different ideas. Overall I would definitely recommend Puttingham Golf Club for any event you may have. It’s a great venue with lovely surroundings with helpful staff. Thanks Andrea and Team! You rock!

What can I say but what a fantastic day a friend and I had at Puttenham Golf Club yesterday. We had been invited back to Puttenham for lunch and golf. On arrival we were met by Andrea and her team, who were so friendly and helpful. Club Manager Tom even had time to come and have a chat with us. Lunch was fantastic, beautifully presented and far more than we expected. We played 18 holes of golf and the course was in impressive condition and we sailed round in very good time. To sum up a great golf course, amazing staff and superb lunch - thank you.

Played on weds afternoon 1.30pm tee off in Sept. The course was in immaculate condition due to the pro am the next day. A lovely selection of challenging holes that are quite hilly. No water but very scenic. Great course, nice bar area and friendly staff. Half way hut does drinks and snacks. Reccomended!

Played 21/6 first time for a while as I am battling cancer. The course was fantastic and the greens were in perfect condition. You also get such a warm welcome as a visitor. Great golf course with stunning views

An interesting course with plenty of hills. The club were doing some green maintenance but this wasn’t a problem and we had a good round.

Well maintenance course, reasonable distance. Enjoyed it very much, will return. ;)

Recently played here for a matchplay (I'm Windlesham) against the home side. All round great golf course. Greens are slick and pin positions can be challenging. Picking your fairway lines is crucial to getting to the greens safely. Excellent range also with digital screens. Members I played with were courteous and very helpful and friendly. Great club all round.

I played s charity day on Friday the 02/18/24, my first time at the course. I have to say what a superb course in fantastic condition, testing but stunning. Along with that the great facilities the staff were outstanding, i will wear my titleist drift hat with fond memories when i play my home course of Hersham. Would not hesitate to play there again and recommend it to everyone.

Very good golf course. It's challenging but also enjoyable to play. Lots of woods and fantastic designs makes golf fun. Usually 1st half is more challenging the the back 9. My handicap is 18 so some might say slightly different.

Difficult course but definitely worth a look. Even better now it has a brand new driving range, putting green and chipping area. Driving range has many kids activities too. Great fun.

Super golf course. Greens quick and true, general condition is lovely. Couple of holes a bit short, but a great day all round. Staff in club must also get a mention, they are so friendly and helpful, can't do enough for you. Very refreshing indeed.

Stunning location, peaceful, views across the Surrey Hills, well maintained and a challenge for all handicaps.

A little gem. No long but pretty tight. Well presented with slick greens. A friendly club, the staff couldn't be more helpful. Loved our round and our food after the golf.

This club is a little gem in the Surrey hills, joined 6 years ago and improvements to the course have been amazing, new bunkers, good fairways and great greens. 🏌️‍♂️🍻
