Course

The golf course at Farnham Golf Club is a testing and supremely well-presented course with excellent greens, all set within the glorious Surrey countryside. It is a true classic amongst Surrey golf courses. The course runs through a combination of parkland and heathland, and is situated in a beautifully peaceful environment. Combine this tranquility with the stunning views at various points around the course, and we are sure it will become one of your favourite Surrey courses. Starting in parkland the scenery changes after the 5th as the pines close in and the heather replaces the grass. By the 11th, the vista opens again with views over the farmland to the Hog’s Back. The gentle undulations give variety but do not demand excessive effort. The course measures 6,613 yards, par 72 for the men off the championship tees, 6,268 yards off the visitors’ yellow tees and 5,839 yards, also par 72, for the ladies. It has a good mixture of testing par 3s and while the par 5s on any golf course are looked upon by the better players as offering the chance to pick up shots, it is worth noting that two of ours are rated amongst the three toughest holes on the course in terms of stroke index. Arguably the best holes, however, are the strong par 4s. Of these there are many, but to pick out just two: the scenic 12th from an elevated tee offers magnificent views of the surrounding area and the exhilarating golfing test that is the 17th would not be out of place on any championship course.
