golf GOLF CLUBS TOP
Golf Clubs were once the bastion of old England, stuffy and elitist, but the last decade has seen a rush to modernise that does them credit. Like boutique hotels, they have realised that to stay competitive and relevant they must provide a wide variety of social activities, dining and entertainment. Many now offer both high end gastronomy alongside sports bars that offer smoothies, juices and quick dining. After a round of golf you can brush up on your tennis with lessons from a pro, or enjoy a summer spa retreat, cooking lessons and stays for the kids. Businesses can make a week of it, with corporate meeting rooms, including golf, swimming and spa thrown in. Evenings see a range of events, such as music, readings, opera, cocktails, even fashion shows. All in luxury country mansions set in idyllic landscapes.
BURHILL GOLF CLUB
Membership has been thoughtfully tiered with separate areas for full members and day trippers. Fees cleverly tailored to meet the needs of a wide variety of local residents who might want to just pop into the spa or gym and those who regard the club as a home from home, playing golf regularly as part of their lifestyle and work. This is the essence of golf clubs today, they have become lifestyle centres, providing a social nexus with excellent service. Country clubs that look after their patrons whatever their desires, be it social, gastronomic, sporting or health. They are many fabulous ones in Surrey and beyond, find the one that suits you best and join in.

EFFINGHAM GOLF CLUB BURHILL GOLF CLUB
In a leafy parkland setting on the outskirts of Walton on Thames, Burhill Golf Club has two spectacular golf courses offering a challenging and diverse experience for the seasoned golfer.
Both of the championship golf courses at Burhill return to the glorious Georgian mansion clubhouse that lies at the heart of the estate. The estate was purchased by the Guinness family in 1888 and converted into Burhill Golf Club in 1907. Burhill is a welcoming and forward- thinking club with a thriving membership and a fantastic array of facilities to match the beautiful setting. Its New Course hosts the regional stage of The Open Qualifying Series and the club has one of the largest junior sections in the country, many of whom represent the county or at national level. The restaurant
is open to the
public seven days-a-week, and Burhill’s clubhouse and grounds make it one of the most enchanting locations in the county for weddings and events.
