Foxhills Golf Club
Foxhills Golf Club, located in 440 acres of breathtaking Surrey Countryside, offers three quality courses, with a combination of parkland and heathland play that is typical of the best layouts in this part of the world. The 18-hole Bernard Hunt Course is named after Bernard Hunt, MBE, who still teaches at the club. He was the first head professional at Foxhills and served for 25 years. Bernard won 30 times on the European PGA Tour, played in the Ryder Cup 10 times, twice as Captain, and won the Tour's Order of Merit in 1961 and 1963. Not surprisingly, the course that's named after him offers more than a few serious challenges for club golfers. The 10th hole, for instance, 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 putting surface. The 18-hole Longcross course is 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 uphill, 430-yard par 4 ninth is arguably the most difficult hole, requiring a tee shot of more than 200 yards to clear a bunker on the left and set up an opportunity to reach the green in two.The 14th at Longcross was recently voted one of the greatest holes ever played by BBC Radio 5 Live listeners. The Manor Course offers championship-standard design in a beautiful setting next to the grand Manor House. Its nine superb par three holes, designed by Foxhills' professional and European Tour legend Bernard Hunt, are conditioned to the same standards as those enjoyed by Foxhills' two internationally acclaimed championship courses. This provides golfers with a chance to practice approach shots with virtually every club in the bag and to hone their short game.
