About this course

Pyrford Lakes Golf Club sits in the village of Pyrford in Surrey, roughly midway between Woking and Weybridge. The course was designed by Peter Alliss and Clive Clark and opened in the early 1990s on former farmland and gravel workings. The design makes extensive use of the site's water features, with lakes and ponds coming into play on numerous holes—a defining characteristic that gives the club its name. The routing takes advantage of the relatively flat Surrey terrain, incorporating mature trees and strategic bunkering alongside the water hazards. Alliss and Clark, both experienced in creating parkland layouts accessible to a range of abilities, shaped a course that emphasizes accuracy and course management over pure length. The water features require thoughtful club selection and create visual interest throughout the round, though the design avoids excessive penal elements. Pyrford Lakes operates as a members' club with visiting opportunities, and the facilities include a clubhouse that overlooks the course and its network of lakes. The setting retains a semi-rural character despite the proximity to Greater London, with views across open Surrey countryside. The course has hosted regional amateur events and serves as a home club for competitive golfers in the area, though it remains primarily a members' venue rather than a championship site.

Getting there

The journey to Pyrford Lakes Golf Club begins at London Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW), each roughly forty minutes from the club by car, or alternatively at London Luton (LTN) for those arriving via private aviation—Fairoaks Airport, just twenty minutes south, offers discreet hangar facilities for executive jets. From any of these gateways, the route traces south and west through the commuter belt of Surrey, gradually shedding the urban sprawl as you enter the wooded, lake-studded landscape of the Home Counties. The final miles wind through leafy lanes lined with rhododendrons and mature oaks, the Surrey countryside revealing itself in gentle folds and glinting water, before the gates of Pyrford Lakes appear—a serene sanctuary of manicured fairways and mirror-still lakes that feels worlds away from London's orbit, despite lying barely twenty miles from the capital.
