The clubhouse of Burhill Golf Club is a former Georgian mansion house, which is steeped in history and dates back to 1726. It was built as a private residence by Peter De La Porte, a wealthy London thread merchant. The Golf Club was established in 1907 by the Guinness family. During World War Two, the Burhill estate was requisitioned by the Ministry of Aircraft Production, and it was whilst working here that Barnes Wallis (of "Dambusters" fame) developed the famous "Bouncing Bomb."

| Walton Heath Golf Club (Old course): Top golfers and golf writers have long acknowledged Walton Heath as one of the finest heathland courses in the British Isles. In fact there are two courses here, the Old and New. Read more... |
| The Welcombe Hotel Spa & Golf Club: provides an excellent Stay & Play opportunity, just a mile out of town from William Shakespear's birthplace in the centre of Stratford.

Royal Ostend Golf Club: represents Belgium’s only real "beside-the-seaside" links golf course (others like Royal Zoute are located a little way inland). Here at Ostend many holes make excellent use of an impressive area of sand dunes. From the long par-4 5th through to the par-5 14th, you play across fabulously open and gently undulating golfing terrain, with few trees, fine sea views and probably a bit of North Sea wind thrown in for good measure.
