What the club says: Ranked by Golf World in England's Top 100, and sitting high atop the North Downs with breathtaking views of the London Skyline, Effingham Golf Club is a traditional members’ club with a distinctly modern outlook.
Spring 2018 marked the grand opening of our newly designed course by leading golf architects Mackenzie & Ebert who have enhanced our classic Harry Colt masterpiece with spectacular results. With an easy and exhilarating walk over immaculate chalky subsoil fairways, our championship course is regarded as the best draining inland course in the south east offering simply superb year round golf.
Since Harry Colt first created the course in the 1920’s, the club has hosted numerous prestigious events, including the regional qualifier for The Open Championship from 2006 to 2010.
The club was also delighted to host the Southern Regional Qualifier for the English Men's Open Amateur Strokeplay Championship, The Brabazon Trophy , in May 2014 and has been selected to host the England Golf Senior Men's County Championship Final in October 2019.
Our listed Georgian Clubhouse epitomises Effingham Golf Club’s traditional values, providing superb modern facilities including a newly refurbished Pro Shop and GC2 Simulator/Swing Studio, Private Dining Rooms, Lounge Bar, spacious Changing Rooms and a beautiful Terrace overlooking the frills of the 18th green.
We are proud of the quality and choice of our food offering, both in the clubhouse and at our Halfway Hut, and understand that our hospitality is as important as the golf itself…….. for some at least!

Hugely disappointed
I had been looking forward to playing Effingham since winning a 4-ball voucher in a charity auction earlier this year. Nothing was as I anticipated.Making the tee booking was not easy due to very limited times for visitors.
On arrival the staff were indifferent and we were unable to find an unlocked door for the clubhouse or locker rooms.
Worst of all was the state of the greens. Very patchy and unplayable.
I won't be returning and neither will my guests

Society Day at Effingham
Traditional members course. Harry Colt designed. Very heavily bunkered (84 bunkers?). Par 3 holes particularly difficult. Very good turf on fairways plus fast true greens. I found that driving was.easier - open fairways and rough not to tough. Played better than my handicap due to the high Slope. Excellent clubhouse food. Not a cheap venue but worth the money. Would happily play again, some local knowledge ideal (eg bunker positions and green slopes). Great views of distant London skylineReviewer Rating

New Course at Walton Heath
The course is predominantly flat and at some places intertwines with the old course. It is a fair challenge for most categories of golfer. It is pretty essential to make sure you hit straight off the tee in that there is plenty of heather to catch the stray shot. Even If you can find your ball, it is then a difficult shot out. The fairways and greens were in very good condition and the greens were very consistent. The clubhouse is excellent and staff were as ever first class. An enjoyable round of golf if not always straightforward.Reviewer Rating

Played here as a guest and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well kept, in great condition. Nice and undulating with a lot of challenges. Excellent practice facilities and clubhouse. Worth a visit if you get the chance.Reviewer Rating

I have played dozens of top courses both in UK and Europe and after reading the great write ups about Effingham I was disappointed.I played there at the end of April and it was average. Big wide open spaces with nothing really memorable. Hidden gem my arse.
Grand clubhouse, nice staff and good food.
I would go back for breakfast, but that’s it. There are numerous golf course in the area within a similar price range which are better.

Great disappointment
I was really looking to play this great course again after many years, but what a disappointment!!! The greens were shocking... very bouncy and uneven making putting a real hit and hope. Very slow as wellFor a tip 100 course this is very poor value for money
