UK & Ireland Top 100 Golf Courses 2025/26 - 25
In the county with more Top 100 Golf Courses UK & Ireland than any other, St George’s Hill is in the Surrey stockbroker belt, an area packed with heathland golf of the very highest order. Many keen golfers consider the Red/Blue combination here to be as good as any in the area and I love returning. It is certainly one of the very best golf courses in Surrey.
Everything here is premier league, from the undulating pine-clad holes to the very distinctive and characterful clubhouse. The course was designed by arguably the greatest architect of all time, Harry Colt, and it opened for play in 1913. The holes run through the most magnificent pine and over abundant, and at times punishing, heather. In the summer, it is an absolute picture and is rightly near the top of the list of the best inland golf courses in the UK.
It is a timeless classic running over a quintessential English landscape and one of the very best golf courses in England. Here, I always feel as though I have genuinely stepped back in time. What lifts it even higher from simply being a glorious place to play is that it has significant but easy-walking elevation changes. These add very much to the visual appeal as well as asking questions on club selection. The instantly recognisable clubhouse is perfectly situated above the greens of the two strong par 4s that close each nine.
Out on the course, Colt’s trademark bunkers abound. As intended, they sometimes deceive the eye due to their location, but they also certainly please it. There is also plenty of risk and reward, and if you had to pick out a signature hole, it would be a tough call as there are just so many. Having said that, for me it would be the par-3 8th which is an absolute pearl. Both beautiful and testing, this exquisite one-shotter plays across a valley and up over an expanse of heather and sand.
The Green nine is a little shorter but still great fun. Play St George’s Hill when the heather is in bloom and you may well struggle to concentrate on your game.
The opening hole on the Red nine
What's new for 2025/26? What our panellists said...
With the appointment of Renaissance Golf Design as the club’s consulting architects, it will be fascinating to see what direction the club will take the golf course in the years ahead. How much better can it get?
Over the last 2-3 years they have subtly removed marginal trees, mowed out some green extensions and aprons and focussed on agronomy to get better playing surfaces. The front nine is so varied it’s over in a flash, so focus on the back nine where the best holes are in the main.
This is a true Surrey heathland masterpiece. The course is breathtakingly beautiful, and the clubhouse is as majestic as you will find anywhere.
Surely one of England’s most beautiful inland courses, thanks to its large, grandiose clubhouse which majestically presides over the course and to which the view from the eighth green is fabulous.
