Frequently Asked Questions

Don't let the Par 67 fool you - is Reigate Heath a 'walk in the park' or a proper challenge?

Absolutely not a walk in the park! While it's shorter, Reigate Heath demands precision and strategy. The course is tight, with gorse and heather ready to swallow errant shots, making it a true test of your short game and course management.

When's the best time of year to experience Reigate Heath at its finest?

We highly recommend visiting in late summer or early autumn. That's when the heather is in full bloom, painting the course in stunning purples, and the ground is firm, giving you those classic heathland bounces. It drains exceptionally well, so it's playable and enjoyable year-round, but those late summer views are something special.

What's the most unique feature or 'must-see' hole at Reigate Heath?

You can't miss the iconic St. Mary's Church, which sits right on the course and acts as a fantastic landmark for several holes. The 10th hole, a short par 4, is a real standout - you'll need to navigate a tricky approach over a dip to a well-guarded green, with the church looming beautifully in the background.

What's the general vibe for visiting golfers, and how easy is it to secure a tee time?

The vibe at Reigate Heath is wonderfully welcoming and unpretentious; it feels like a true golfer's club. While it's popular, especially on weekends, you can usually secure a tee time by booking a few days or a week in advance online. We always recommend checking their website for visitor booking options.

Is Reigate Heath a good value for a shorter course, and what practical advice do you have for first-timers?

Yes, it offers fantastic value for the unique experience you get on a genuine heathland course. For first-timers, our top advice is to leave the driver in the bag on many holes and focus on accuracy with irons or hybrids. Also, bring plenty of balls - the gorse is beautiful but unforgiving!
