Farnham Golf Club

Nestled amidst the captivating landscapes of Blighton Lane, The Sands, Farnham, lies a golfing gem that has claimed its title as the 'Winner' Tournament Venue of the Year: Farnham Golf Club. This members-only haven boasts an 18-hole heathland course that's not only a testing ground for golfers but also a serene retreat within the embrace of Surrey's natural beauty.

The course at Farnham Sands unfolds like a tapestry of challenges and perfection, with its flawless greens and meticulously maintained fairways. Enveloped by the enchanting Surrey countryside, it stands as a true classic among the county's golf courses. With its unique setting upon a heathland site, the course treats players to breathtaking vistas of acid grasslands and expanses of heather that blend seamlessly with the fairways.

A voyage through this golfing sanctuary presents a feast for the senses. By the time you reach the 11th hole, a panoramic vista of the Hog's Back and surrounding countryside unfolds, creating a tranquil interlude in your game. The course, measuring 6,613 yards for men (par 72) from the championship tees, offers a balanced challenge with gentle undulations that invite both strategy and skill.

Don't be fooled by the picturesque tranquillity, though. Farnham's course is peppered with par 3s that will test your precision and nerve. And while par 5s often promise opportunities for the skilled to gain advantage, two of Farnham's par 5s rank among the most formidable holes in terms of stroke index. Yet, it is the robust par 4s that steal the spotlight, none more so than the 12th, offering an elevated tee view of the surroundings, or the exhilarating 17th that could grace any championship course.

Established in 1896, Farnham Golf Club bears a rich heritage that adds to the allure of its splendid course. But it is not just about the fairways and greens. The clubhouse beckons with its inviting bar and restaurant, providing a place to unwind and relish the camaraderie of fellow golf enthusiasts. The Pro Shop stands ready with a range of services, guided by the expertise of Professional Luke Bone, from tuition and custom fitting to repairs and equipment hire. Practice facilities, including a driving range, putting green, chipping area, and bunkers, complete the golfing haven that is Farnham Golf Club.

Whether you're navigating the undulating fairways or enjoying the camaraderie in the clubhouse, Farnham offers a golfing sanctuary that lingers in the memory of any true enthusiast.
