High Post Golf Club

High Post Golf Club is laid out on chalk downland near Salisbury in Wiltshire, a type of golfing terrain that has become relatively rare as courses elsewhere have shifted towards parkland or heathland construction. The downland setting gives the course firm, well-draining turf and greens that are generally regarded among the quicker examples found in the south of England, a characteristic the club itself highlights when describing the course to visiting golfers. Facilities extend beyond the course itself to a pro shop offering lessons, a dedicated Women in Golf programme, and a calendar that includes open competitions and winter team events run through the colder months. Membership is arranged across a number of categories, and visiting golfers are catered for separately, with the club keen to encourage those travelling to Salisbury to book a round during their stay. Salisbury itself, a short distance away, is known for its medieval cathedral and surrounding water meadows, and the chalk downland that supports High Post's course is part of the same geological landscape that shapes much of south Wiltshire, including the plain to the north around Stonehenge. The combination of downland turf, fast greens and a full range of membership and visitor facilities gives High Post a distinct identity among Wiltshire's golf clubs.
