Hindhead Golf Club: On your first visit to Hindhead, you could be forgiven for thinking it a rather technical shot-maker's course. But the more you become acquainted with J.H. Taylor's layout, the more you'll appreciate the quality and challenge of this excellent heathland gem.
The front-nine plays through the bottom of two tree-lined valleys. After the relatively open and forgiving par-4 1st, things become distinctly more tree-lined and demanding. Often played from nicely elevated tees, the front-nine includes several tight and testing "valley" holes. The back-nine occupies less undulating terrain and is easier on the legs, while still presenting a tough test.
The rough here can be uncompromising and doesn't yield up stray balls easily; accuracy from the tee and staying on the short grass will pay dividends. In this scenic woodland setting, you may catch a glimpse of resident deer, and enjoy picturesque vistas over the surrounding wooded hills. One of the best views is enjoyed from the 19th hole!
Pick of the holes: the plunging short par-3 6th is handsomely framed by mature woodland. The hole features a two-tier green, with bunkers and heather protecting the left side and a swale sweeps around the right side.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and after midday on weekends.
Must book in advance. Recommended handicap limit: men 28 or lower; women 36 or lower. Proof of handicap required.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
