Surrey is a county that rightfully needs no introduction. This location is legendary amongst golfers for having the highest number of the UK’s Top 100 golf courses, with 13 of the area's layouts making it to the list! Whether you’re chasing classic heathland layouts, modern masterpieces, or tucked-away treasures, Surrey delivers a golf holiday with both elegance and variety.
Here are some of Surrey’s best golf courses:
Sunningdale Golf Club – Old & New Courses Ranked as the 2nd and 3rd best golf courses in England by Top 100 Golf Courses Sunningdale is the crown jewel of Surrey golf. The Old Course, designed in 1901 by Willie Park Jr., is an elegant, strategic layout revered for its natural beauty. The New Course, slightly tougher, offers a thrilling contrast through dense woodland and rolling terrain. Playing both is a rite of passage for serious golfers.
St George’s Hill Golf Club Ranked as the 9th best golf course in England by Top 100 Golf Courses Designed by Harry Colt in 1913, St George’s Hill is a masterpiece of English golf course design. The front nine flows over open heathland, while the back nine carves through mature woodland. Immaculately presented and visually stunning, it’s a must-play for Colt enthusiasts and lovers of classic design.
Walton Heath Golf Club – Old Course Open Championship qualifying venue with a rich tournament pedigree Host of the 1981 Ryder Cup and numerous major events, Walton Heath’s Old Course is known for its fast greens, wide fairways, and strategic bunkering. With its open heathland character and historic clubhouse, it offers a truly grand golfing experience.
Worplesdon Golf Club A hidden gem among Surrey’s famed trio of Colt-designed courses Less well-known but deeply admired, Worplesdon blends charm, challenge, and serenity. The heather-lined fairways and classic green complexes make it a joy to play and a favourite for those seeking a more peaceful round.
The Addington Golf Club Ranked as the 11th best golf course in Surrey by Top 100 Golf Courses Just outside Croydon, The Addington is a striking course that weaves through ancient woodland, featuring ravines, elevated tees, and stunning views of London’s skyline. Recently restored to honour its original flair, it’s a unique and thrilling round unlike any other in the region.
Hindhead Golf Club Ranked as the 12th best golf course in Surrey by Top 100 Golf courses Set across a dramatic landscape of ridges and valleys, Hindhead offers one of the most scenic rounds in southern England. With holes carved through pine forests and panoramic views over the Surrey Hills, it’s as beautiful as it is memorable.
Travel tips:
- Best time to visit: Late spring through early autumn (May to September) offers the best playing conditions, with dry fairways and warm temperatures. Autumn provides beautiful colours and quieter tee sheets, perfect for a relaxed round.
- Booking tee times: Top clubs like Sunningdale, Walton Heath, and St George’s Hill are in high demand and often have limited visitor tee times, so make sure to book in advance.
- Travel essentials: Surrey is easily accessible by road and rail, with London’s major airports nearby. Most courses offer rental equipment, but bringing your own ensures the best performance. Don’t forget comfortable walking shoes; many courses are best enjoyed on foot.
