About the course
Course description
Carefully positioned bunkers, raised tees, tree lined fairways and two teasingly placed lakes, mean a good test for golfers of all abilities.
Although the contours of the site are dramatic, the clever use of these natural assets ensures that the vast majority of the holes are played either level or downhill, with only one real uphill shot - that being a short pitch to the raised green on the 2nd.
As befits a championship length status, the course has a number of difficult par 4s - the 16th and bunker less 6th being the most difficult - but the most challenging hole is the 3rd, which requires a carry of over 150 yards across water from the championship tee.

This course is one of the Altonwood Group. It’s decent deal, depending on your membership category members can play at all of the groups courses. These include Westerham, Addington, Woldingham and 9 holes at Godstone.

Covering in excess of 200 acres, Surrey National is a Championship course approaching 7,000 yards from the Championship tees. Designed by leading golf course architect, David Williams, the course meanders through dramatic rolling countryside, populated by thousands of mature trees.

Even in dry conditions the grass was lush and can tell that irrigation was key to keeping this course in great condition. Greens were nice but slightly on the slow side.

Practice facilities include a large multi bay driving range and putting green.

£25-45 visitor fees represent decent value for money for this lovely well designed course.

It’s a shame I don’t live close enough to any of these Altonwood Courses as really enjoy them. Look forward to the jewel in the crown Addington next.</p>
