Guildford Golf Club

Founded on Merrow Downs in 1886, Guildford enjoys a wealth of history and tradition, as well as an excellent golf course. The course occupies land which was once part of the Onslow Estate, so vividly described by Rudyard Kipling in his 'Just So' stories and, until 1870, was the site of a well known race course.

The course is situated on typical Surrey downland bordered by attractive woodlands. The rolling slopes provide an excellent example of the open commons on which the majority of inland course were laid out when golf first became popular in England. Situated as it is on chalk, it is acknowledged to be one of the best all weather courses in Surrey.
