Puttenham
Puttenham Golf Club: located just a couple of miles southwest of the cathedral city of Guildford, you'll find another of Surrey's classic heathland gems. Not overly long at just over 6,100 yards from the tips, there's several short par-4s for long-hitters to tilt at, although accuracy from the tee will serve your cause just as well.
On this out-and-back layout, you'll not only brush past Puttenham cricket ground on the left of the par-4 2nd, but you'll also be guided by plenty of fairway-lining heather and tall elegant Scots pine. The greens here, not overly large and often circular, will deftly test you skills with the short stick.
Visitors welcome on weekdays.
Must book in advance.
