Woking Golf Club

The course is known for its fast-running, undulating fairways, generous amounts of heather, and intricate, contoured greens that present a significant challenge to golfers. The greens are considered a key feature, with subtle and not-so-subtle slopes and borrows that can make or break a round.

Woking is a mature and strategic layout, requiring well-positioned tee shots to avoid the heather and stay in play. The course is not overly long, but the strategic placement of bunkers and the complexity of the greens demand accuracy and smart play.
