Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to experience Blackmoor Golf Club at its finest?

We always recommend visiting in spring or early autumn. The heathland really comes alive with vibrant colours then, and you'll avoid the peak summer crowds and potential for firmer, faster conditions that can make the course play even tougher. The greens are consistently excellent, but they truly shine in these shoulder seasons.

What's the standout feature or challenge at Blackmoor that golfers should prepare for?

Without a doubt, it's the collection of par 3s - they are truly exceptional and demand precision. You'll find yourself hitting everything from a short iron to a hybrid, often to elevated greens protected by clever bunkering. Don't underestimate them; they can easily make or break your scorecard.

How does Blackmoor compare in terms of value to other top heathland courses in England?

Blackmoor offers fantastic value, especially when you consider the quality of the course and its H.S. Colt design. While not as widely known as some of its Surrey neighbours, you're getting a championship-calibre heathland experience for a more accessible green fee. It's a smart choice if you want top-tier golf without the premium price tag.

Are there any specific holes or a stretch of play at Blackmoor that really stand out?

The stretch from the 6th to the 9th is particularly memorable and a true test of golf. The 6th, a long par 4, demands a strong drive, while the 7th and 8th are brilliant par 3s that require pinpoint accuracy. We especially love the approach to the 9th green, which is subtly challenging.

What's the atmosphere like at the Blackmoor clubhouse after a round?

The clubhouse at Blackmoor has that classic, welcoming English golf club feel - it's unpretentious and comfortable. You'll find a friendly bar with good local ales and a relaxed dining area, perfect for dissecting your round. We always enjoy grabbing a pint and soaking in the traditional golf ambiance there.
