About this course

Liphook Golf Club sits on sandy heathland in the village of Liphook, near the borders of Hampshire, Surrey, and West Sussex. The course was designed by Arthur Croome and opened in 1923, occupying terrain characteristic of the Surrey-Hampshire heath belt—gently rolling ground covered in heather, gorse, pine, and silver birch. The soil drains quickly, and the layout plays firm and fast for much of the year, rewarding ground game and thoughtful placement over aerial power. The routing moves through natural corridors of vegetation, with fairways that tumble and turn among the heather and trees. Greens are typically modest in size and subtly contoured, demanding accurate approach play. Bunkers are positioned to punish wayward shots rather than merely frame targets. The course measures around 6,200 yards from the back tees, a length that emphasizes strategy and shot-making over distance. Several holes require careful navigation around or over heathland hazards, and the closing stretch provides a stern test. Liphook has hosted regional amateur competitions and remains a well-regarded members' club. The clubhouse and grounds reflect a traditional English golf club atmosphere, with a membership that values the course's natural character and its place within the heathland tradition. The layout has remained largely faithful to Croome's original design, preserving the strategic qualities and aesthetic of early twentieth-century heathland golf.
