Hurtmore Golf Club


About this course
Hurtmore Golf Club occupies gently rolling parkland in the Surrey countryside near Godalming, roughly five miles south of Guildford. The course was designed by Peter Alliss and Clive Clark and opened in the early 1990s, part of a wave of new golf developments in southern England during that period. Alliss, better known as a television commentator, collaborated with Clark on several courses throughout Britain, typically producing accessible layouts that balance strategic interest with playability for a range of abilities. The routing moves through mature woodland and open fields, with elevation changes that are modest but sufficient to create variety in stance and perspective. Water features come into play on several holes, and the design incorporates both risk-reward opportunities and more straightforward holes that allow players to recover momentum. The bunkering style reflects the era of construction, with shaped sand hazards that frame landing areas and greenside approaches without excessive penal depth. Hurtmore functions primarily as a members' club with a local membership base drawn from the surrounding Surrey villages and towns. The clubhouse and facilities support regular club competitions and social golf, typical of proprietary clubs established in the region during the late twentieth century. The course sits within commuting distance of London, part of the broader network of parkland courses that serve golfers across the Home Counties.

Getting there
The journey to Hurtmore Golf Club begins at London Heathrow, roughly forty miles northeast, or Gatwick for those approaching from the south, with both offering straightforward access to Surrey's wooded interior. The drive southwest traces the A3 corridor before peeling off into the quieter lanes that wind through Godalming and the surrounding countryside, where suburban sprawl gradually yields to hedgerows, ancient woodland, and the rolling chalk hills of the Surrey Weald. The final approach along narrow country roads feels deliberately removed from London's orbit, delivering you to a club that has occupied this secluded corner of Hurtmore since 1892 with the understated permanence of old England.
