Pyrford Lakes Golf Club (formerly called Pyrford Golf Club): of the many new golf courses developed around London in the 1990s, Pyrford Lakes is definitely one of the most quiet and pleasing. It is also one of the most challenging, especially if your game trembles at the presence of water.
The holes here, laid out in two nine hole loops to the north and south of the clubhouse, occupy a predominantly open parkland environment. Good definition is given to the holes by landscaped mounding, small trees and bushes, good bunkering, and an abundance of water hazards. The generally fast and sloping greens provide an excellent examination of your skills with the short stick.
Quietly located beside the River Wey Navigation (canal), Pyrford Lakes offers a good test of your golfing skills, as challenging as its neighbour on the other side of the canal, the prestigious and private golf course of The Wisley. On such a busy course as Pyrford Lakes, the occasional signs of heavy golfing traffic may be evident.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and after 11am on weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.

Running alongside Pyrford Lakes Golf Club is the River Wey Navigation (canal). Over 350 years ago, in 1653, the River Wey became the first British river to be successfully canalised for commercial traffic. The River Wey Navigation, combined with the younger Godalming Navigation which extended further southward, brought prosperity not only to the towns of Guildford and Godalming, but also this whole region of west Surrey and north Hampshire.
The Wey Navigation runs from Town Bridge in the centre of Guildford up to the River Thames at Weybridge. On the other side of the Navigation canal is The Wisley Golf Club.
Pyrford is pronounced "purr-ford" (the sound of the cat!), rather than "pire-ford".
