Frequently Asked Questions
What's the standout challenge at Puttenham Golf Club for a visiting golfer?
You'll quickly discover that Puttenham's greens are its true test, often subtly sloped and faster than they appear. We recommend spending extra time on the practice putting green to dial in your touch before heading out.
When is the best time of year to experience Puttenham Golf Club at its finest?
For the truest heathland feel and firmest conditions, aim for late spring through early autumn. The course drains exceptionally well, so even after a bit of rain, you'll find it playable and enjoyable.
Beyond the golf, what's the vibe like at Puttenham Golf Club?
Puttenham has a wonderfully understated, traditional English club atmosphere; it's welcoming without being stuffy. You'll definitely want to grab a pint and a sandwich in the clubhouse after your round - the views from the patio are fantastic.
What's one practical tip you'd give someone playing Puttenham for the first time?
Don't underestimate the elevation changes, especially on the back nine - a buggy isn't strictly necessary but can save your legs if you're not used to walking hilly courses. Also, bring an extra ball or two; some of those heather-lined fairways can be unforgiving.
How accessible are tee times and what should I expect regarding green fees at Puttenham?
Puttenham is quite popular, especially on weekends, so we always advise booking your tee time well in advance online. Green fees are fair for a course of this quality in the region, offering excellent value for a proper English heathland experience.
