Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deal with Huntercombe's bunkers - are they really different?

Yes, they absolutely are. Huntercombe is famous for its 'hazards' - deep, grassy hollows rather than traditional sand bunkers. You'll need to be precise with your approach shots, as getting out of these can be a real test of your short game and patience.

Is it easy for visitors to get a tee time at Huntercombe, and what's the best way to book?

Huntercombe is a private members' club, so visitor tee times are limited and often require an introduction from a member or booking well in advance. We recommend calling the Pro Shop directly a few months out, especially if you're planning a weekend visit, to secure your spot.

When is the best time of year to play Huntercombe, considering its unique character?

We think late spring through early autumn (May-September) is ideal. The course drains exceptionally well, but the firm conditions in drier months really bring out the nuances of its design and make those grassy hollows even more challenging.

What kind of golf experience can I expect at Huntercombe, and is it a tough walk?

You're in for a truly classic, strategic test of golf, not just a power game. The course isn't overly long, but its subtle undulations and those distinctive hazards demand thoughtful shot-making. It's a pleasant walk through the Chilterns, not overly strenuous, but you'll feel every shot.

What's the clubhouse like at Huntercombe, and should I plan to stay for lunch?

The clubhouse at Huntercombe is understated and traditional, perfectly complementing the course's old-school charm. We definitely recommend staying for lunch; the food is excellent, and it's a great way to soak in the club's history and discuss your round in a relaxed atmosphere.
