Blacknest Golf Club

Blacknest sits on the Surrey-Hampshire border near Alton, in the belt of chalk downland and wooded farmland running along the two counties' shared edge south of the North Downs. This is quiet countryside by south-east England's standards, given over to a mix of arable land, beech and oak woodland and the occasional heathland remnant, with the market towns of Alton, Farnham and Bordon all within a few miles. The area's chalk geology, part of the same formation that produces the Hampshire Downs further west, tends to give the ground good natural drainage, and the mature woodland typical of this Surrey-Hampshire fringe often frames rather than dominates the open ground. Alton itself grew up as a brewing and market town along the old road between London and Winchester, and its surrounding parishes retain a rural, largely undeveloped character despite sitting within reach of the M3 corridor. A club on this stretch of border therefore occupies genuinely rural ground rather than suburban fringe, closer in feel to the Hampshire Downs than to the busier parts of Surrey nearer London.
