Guildford Golf Club

Guildford Golf Club is laid out on the Merrow Downs, chalk downland forming part of the North Downs ridge that runs across Surrey just outside the town. The course measures 6,160 yards, a length the club presents as suited to golfers across the range of abilities rather than favouring a particular type of player. As a private members' club, its day-to-day running is member-led, though societies and visiting golfers are welcomed to play alongside the regular membership. Practice facilities include a warm-up range and separate short-game practice areas, giving visitors somewhere to prepare before a round rather than going straight to the first tee, and the clubhouse includes bar facilities for use afterwards. Course ratings are recorded across the different tee positions, with a slope of 129 and a course rating of 70.3 from the back tees, figures that give an indication of relative difficulty against par for handicap purposes. The Merrow Downs setting gives the layout the firmer turf and rolling ground typical of downland golf in Surrey, distinct from the parkland and heathland courses found elsewhere in the county. Its position just outside Guildford keeps the club within easy reach of the town centre while retaining an open, elevated character away from the built-up area below.

Guildford Golf Club plays over a length of 6,160 yards.
