To the fore


FOR THE TRUE GOLF ENTHUSIAST IS THERE A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE THAN SURREY? WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT AN AREA


FAMED FOR ITS BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSES AND SOME STUNNING PROPERTIES JUST A CHIP AND A PUTT AWAY.


There are more golf courses per head in Surrey than any of its neighbouring counties and it has one of the highest concentrations of links anywhere in the world. An area synonymous with the game, it is blessed with a plethora of stunning clubs and, unsurprisingly, counts more courses among the top 100 English courses than any other region. Steeped in golfing history, some of the world’s most renowned


tournaments have been staged on Surrey’s finest greens. The Ryder Cup, one of the greatest team events in world sport, where Europe takes on the US every other year, was once held at nearby Walton Heath. More recently, this world-class 36-hole facility has also presented the British Seniors Open featuring past major winners such as Tom Watson, Bernhard Langer, Ian Woosnam and

Sandy Lyle to name just a few. Other notable events include the PGA Championship and the World Match Play Championship hosted every year by the prestigious Wentworth Club. Unfortunately we cannot all enjoy the privileged benefit of


membership at these famous clubs – Queenwood Golf Club in Ottershaw is the arguably the most exclusive club in Britain, reputed to have the likes of Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta- Jones and Hugh Grant as members – but with so many other splendid courses nearby you’re spoilt for choice anyway. Many of these courses are also home to some of the finest properties in the region, so for those looking to purchase a house near where they like to play a round, this dream can be a reality even if you don’t come from Tinseltown.
