Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play The Leatherhead Club without getting soaked?

We always recommend aiming for late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) for the best chance of dry weather and firm fairways. You'll find the course in prime condition then, and the greens really roll true. We've played it in summer, but those pop-up showers can be a real nuisance.

What kind of challenge should I expect at The Leatherhead Club - is it a real test or more forgiving?

Leatherhead offers a really enjoyable test, leaning towards strategic play rather than brute force. The tree-lined fairways demand accuracy off the tee, and the greens, while not overly undulating, are often well-guarded, so your approach shots need to be precise. It's a course that rewards smart golf, not just long drives.

Are there any standout holes at The Leatherhead Club that I should look forward to?

Absolutely, the par-3 14th is a real beauty and a definite highlight, often playing longer than its yardage suggests with a tricky green. We also love the finishing stretch, especially the 18th, which is a strong par-4 demanding a solid drive and a precise approach to a well-bunkered green right in front of the clubhouse. It's a great way to finish your round.

How do the green fees at The Leatherhead Club compare to other courses in the Surrey area?

We find Leatherhead offers excellent value, especially for a course of its quality in Surrey. While not a budget option, you're getting a well-maintained, mature parkland track without the premium price tag of some of its more famous neighbors. Check their website for twilight rates or visitor packages, which can offer even better deals.

What's the clubhouse vibe like at The Leatherhead Club after a round?

The clubhouse at Leatherhead has a welcoming, traditional feel - exactly what you want after a good walk. You'll find a friendly atmosphere, perfect for a post-round pint and a bite to eat, with views over the 18th green. It's not overly fancy, but it's comfortable and the staff are always accommodating.
