Burhill Golf Club (New course): laid out in the grounds of a Georgian mansion house, Burhill's more recently established New course is kept company by its much older stablemate, the quintessentiallyl English parkland Old course. The Old is another of Willie Park Jr's top drawer designs.
The Simon Gidman-designed New course at Burhill occupies more open terrain than its older sibling. There's more water to contend with on this modern parkland layout, with small ponds and ditches in play on a few holes. There's also the River Mole winding around the perimeter at the short par-5 5th, par-3 12th and par-4 16th and 17th holes, and again at the signature closing hole.
Pick of the holes: few will forget the New course's elegant and testing par-3 18th. The River Mole needs to crossed from the tee, as you hit towards a large sloping green. The club's mansion clubhouse and a couple of large redwood trees beautifully frame the hole.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends, but more restricted at weekends.
Must book in advance. Proof of handicap may be requested.

The clubhouse of Burhill Golf Club is a former Georgian mansion house, which is steeped in history and dates back to 1726. It was built as a private residence by Peter De La Porte, a wealthy London thread merchant.
The 50-mile-long River Mole flows through part of the Burhill estate on its journey from West Sussex to Hampton Court Palace, where it joins the River Thames.
The Golf Club was established in 1907 by the Guinness family. During World War Two, the Burhill estate was requisitioned by the Ministry of Aircraft Production, and it was whilst working here that Barnes Wallis (of "Dambusters" fame) developed the famous "Bouncing Bomb."

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
