Golf Courses:
"Foxhills is a little like heaven; many people know of it, but only a few of us will ever go there" (Golf Monthly Magazine).
Foxhills is one of the finest golfing resorts in Europe boasting two 18 hole championship courses, as well as a challenging 9 hole par 3 course. Set in the undulating Surrey countryside it is fair to say that, however your scorecard reads, you cannot fail to be touched by the majesty and aura of the Bernard Hunt and Longcross Courses.
Bernard Hunt Course: The course is named after Bernard Hunt, MBE, who won 30 times on the European Tour, played in the Ryder Cup 10 times, twice as Captain, and won the Order of Merit in 1961 and 1963. Not surprisingly, the course that's named after him offers more than a few challenges for amateur golfers. The 10th hole is a 445-yard par-4 that plays downhill initially and then sweeps uphill to a green protected by two bunkers in front of the green. You have to keep your tee shot to the left of the fairway to have the best angle into a green which slopes wickedly from back right to front left. It is undoubtedly the most difficult hole on the inward nine and one where a par feels like a birdie.
Longcross Course: Widely considered the very best example of a typical tree-lined Surrey course. It winds through Scots pine, beech and silver birch trees and is very reminiscent of Sunningdale's Old Course in places. The 408-yard par-four first hole sets the tone for the round. The drive has to be fired down a funnel between the trees and the second shot must circumnavigate two bunkers that protect the front of the green. It can cause all sorts of trouble for the erratic hitter. The uphill, 430-yard ninth is arguably the most difficult hole, requiring a tee shot of more than 200 yards to clear a bunker on the left and presenting an opportunity to hit the green in two. The last hole plays 531 yards uphill, with a large tree on the left narrowing the fairway for the second shot. Again, the approach shot is partially blind due to the large, double green which makes for a fantastic climax to your round.
Manor Course: This delightful par 3 course is course for those just starting out in the game or the more experienced golfer looking to improve their short game. Its nine superb par three holes, designed by European Tour legend Bernard Hunt, are conditioned to the same standards as those enjoyed by the championship courses.
