East Horsley Surrey hotels:

Effingham has been a members club since 1927. The 6500 yard downland course is set on 264 acres of chalk downs with mature trees and exceptional views of London and across five counties from the undulating fairways designed by Harry S Colt. The highest part of the course is 500 feet above sea level and the chalk subsoil makes for one of the driest courses in the country. Visiting golfers find the course a delight throughout the year. The Georgian style clubhouse is a listed building dating from 1770 and provides superb facilities for societies and company days. Effingham golf club lies some 25 miles south west of London in the beautiful Surrey hills. Waterloo is 35 minutes by train from Effingham Junction station and a 40 minute drive from the club will take you to either Heathrow or Gatwick airports. The club is situated on the A246 between Guildford and Leatherhead. If arriving from the M25, exit at junction 10 (A3, Wisley) and follow the signs to Effingham, or junction 9 (Leatherhead) and follow the signs to Guildford (A246). Although modern amenities are close by, once you are on the course you will be unaware of the pressures of modern life, with exceptionally quiet fairways bordering actively managed farmland where skylarks, pheasant , badgers and deer flourish.
