Combining a beautifully peaceful environment with some stunning views, ‘Farnham Sands’ is a prime example of fine Surrey Golf.

Second time round here, the first being a few years ago. Both on a society day. Course is interesting but occasionally feels a little hemmed in, as if there's not quite enough space for the layout. Was also surprised at conditions being quite muddy, given it and the surrounding area are based on sand. Greens were a little furry and slower than expected. The club itself is also doing substantial work to the clubhouse so our society were in a large marquee next to it for bacon roll prior and dinner afterwards. That worked fine but was a little noisy in the dinner due to other members also being present in the background. Catering was however very good. Something was up with the boiler so showers were cold which was unfortunate. So something of a mixed bag this time around. Will head back but likely once work is complete and when the course has dried out a bit.

Charming course with heather in places. On sand so drains well. This was a golf society visit so cannot comment on how it plays all year. The catering we received was first rate, happy to visit again. Not cheap.

Challenging classic heath/parkland
Played here in the Silver Frigate over two rounds. A challenging course if you don't know it with quite a few blind shots ad shots that need to be hit specific distances to avoid trouble. Lots of slopes on the greens, which were pretty fast but not so firm that they wouldn't hold well-struck approaches. A real varierty of par 4 and 5 holes but the one criticism of the layout is that three of the par 3 holes play to very similar lengths. Conditioning is great, bunkers are lovely. Greens became a little bit bobbly later in the day but well worth playing. But don't expect to play your best first time out.Reviewer Rating

Relaxed and enjoyable day
This was a society day and we were welcomed by the clubhouse staff with Tea and Coffee ready n the bar before moving into the eating area for a Full English breakfast.For the time of year the course was in very good condition especially the greens. The bunkers are china clay so they can get a little compacted this time of year so that wasn't unexpected.
There is some work going on with large water areas built that will come into play on 14th and 17th holes which meant there were some GUR areas and a temporary green on 14.
A lovely course that offers up birdies but you need to plot your way around to avoid dropping shots to par.

Great setting and challenging course
Second visit so should have been easier this time but it hammered down with rain but this only really affected the course towards the end of our round when a couple of the approaches were waterlogged.Had a great breakfast before the round and a nice pint after service was excellent.

Wolf in sheep’s clothing
A good test of golf for any level of handicap. Although a little short by today’s obsession for length, one needs good course management to produce a reasonable score. A different course from the white tees will make you concentrate on every shot.Reviewer Rating

Long established course in excellent condition
The club was very welcoming to our society with helpful and attentive staff. The park land course is well established in a scenic location. Considering how many courses are struggling to maintain course condition after the recent heat wave, this course is in excellent condition, tees, fairways and greens. Accuracy is required on many of the holes and the undulations on some greens are testing.Reviewer Rating

Definitely worth a visit
What a superb course. Tree lined fairways, some really challenging holes, well placed bunkers and lightning fast beautifully manicured greens. Challenging for the average golfer but well worth a visit. Lovely terrace overlooking course and great little cafe at the 9th serving food and drinks.Reviewer Rating

Average!!
I don’t see why the reviews for this place are so high. It’s average and not particularly friendly. A lot of restructuring taking place and needed by the looks of it but won’t return. Many other higher quality places for same money in area.Reviewer Rating
