• About The Club •
F
ounded in 1994, Chobham Golf Club was originally designed by Peter Alliss and Clive Clark creating a beautiful 18-hole par 69 golf course in picturesque surroundings on the site of an old tree nursery. Some of the names now renowned in the world of golf are linked with the creation of Chobham, including 2010 Ryder Cupwinning captain Colin Montgomerie.
6 | Chobham Golf Club
Montgomerie laid the final brick during the construction of our Clubhouse and for a number of our early years we also had the privilege of having Monty as our Touring Professional. The course, with tees and greens built to USGA specification, has certainly become one of the finest in the area. It is set in a beautiful and secluded location and laid out across the naturally undulating land between mature woodlands.
Among the many attractive features of the course are six strategically placed manmade lakes and many established trees that give it a maturity beyond its years. The toughest hole on the course is the 425yard par four 12th. This hole requires two straight and accurate shots to a left-to-right sloping green which is flanked by bunkers on the left and right hand sides. Our signature hole is the challenging par three 15th. This hole has a lake that extends 170 yards from the tee and a picturesque view of the clubhouse.
We continually invest in our course to ensure you have the best golfing experience possible and this is reinforced by the Golf Monthly Silver award we received in the HSBC Regional Course Rankings in 2007.
But don’t just take our word for it. Search the Internet for reviews of our course from unbiased yet demanding golfers and you will find that we consistently come highly recommended from the people that matter.
A testament to the quality of our course is that Surrey Golf Unions have selected Chobham to host a number of prestigious events such as the Ladies Druce Trophy in 2011, the Surrey Under 12 Championship in 2013 and a number of County Junior matches.

• Course Tour •
I
f you have never played at Chobham Golf Club before you are in for a treat. Make the most of your trip by learning about some of the pitfalls that lie in wait and how to avoid them as you follow our hole-by-hole tour.
Hole 1, 364 Yards, Par 4
A challenging opening hole which requires a long but straight blind tee shot. Once again, a straight shot is required for your second in order to avoid the two large oak trees and the ditch running through the fairway. Beware the bunkers either side of the green.
Hole 2, 188 Yards, Par 3
The first of the par threes requires a long iron or fairway wood off the tee to reach the green. A mishit shot will either find the lake or the bunkers, while caution should be taken when putting on the back to front sloping green.
8 | Chobham Golf Club
Hole 3, 365 Yards, Par 4
A left to right dogleg par four which requires a long tee shot to avoid the large lake. A medium to short iron is required on the approach shot but beware the two bunkers that surround the back to front sloping green.
Hole 4, 161 Yards, Par 3
A straightforward par three which requires a tee shot hit just right of centre because anything played to the left will find one of the bunkers next to the green. Once again the back to front sloping green makes putting tricky.
Hole 5, 353 Yards, Par 4
A short right to left par four which requires a straight drive to the downwards sloping fairway. A medium to short iron is required for the approach shot over the two mature trees which guard the green. Be cautious of the borrows in the green which make it difficult to read.
Hole 6, 480 Yards, Par 5
The first par five of the course demands a tee shot hit to the left of centre to avoid the hidden lake that runs almost the entire right-hand side of the fairway. A risk-reward second shot requires a long iron or fairway wood to hit over the bunkers which cross ​ the fairway.
Hole 7, 147 Yards, Par 3
The shortest par three on the course requires an accurate tee shot with a medium to short iron to see you on to the green. Beware the four bunkers which surround the steep back to front sloping green.
Hole 8, 373 Yards, Par 4
With a lake to the right-hand side and woodland on the left, a long straight tee shot is required to hit the dogleg. Be cautious with your approach shot to avoid the ditch at the back of the green, although hit too short and you may find the deep bunker to the front left.
Hole 9, 493 Yards, Par 5
A tough right to left dogleg par five which demands a well hit drive to avoid the lake to the left and the trees on the right. To be safe, an iron or lofted wood for your second shot would leave you around 100 yards from the green. The deep bunker to the front right of the green lies in wait for any mishit approach shots.
Chobham Golf Club | 9
• Course Tour
(continued)
Hole 10, 327 Yards, Par 4
A relatively straight par four that requires accuracy from the tee to secure a good score. Take extra care when the hole is cut on the right side of the green.
Hole 11, 361 Yards, Par 4
This uphill par four requires a straight drive to avoid the trees on the left and the bunkers on the right. Be cautious on the approach to avoid the three bunkers surrounding the green.
10 | Chobham Golf Club
•
Hole 12, 425 Yards, Par 4
Hole 14, 177 Yards, Par 3
Hole 13, 539 Yards, Par 5
Hole 15, 222 Yards, Par 3
The hardest hole on the course and Stroke Index 1 for good reason. It requires a drive hit to the left centre of the fairway and you will need a long iron or fairway wood to reach this left to right sloping green.
The toughest par five on the course requires three long yet accurate shots to reach the green. When hitting the approach, make sure to hit to the right hand side to avoid the bunkers on the left and back of the green.
This downhill par three requires accuracy from the tee to ensure your ball avoids the ditch in front and to the right of the green. Be cautious when putting because the green is deceptive and rolls from back to front.
Chobham’s signature hole requires a long iron or a fairway wood to clear the large lake that extends 170 yards from the tee. The well guarded green with four bunkers makes this hole a true test.
Hole 16, 326 Yards, Par 4
This short left to right dogleg par four demands a straight tee shot thus avoiding the trees that line the fairway to left and right. The approach requires a short iron onto a right to left sloping green. Beware the large bunker to the front right of the green.
Hole 18, 226 Yards, Par 3
The finale is the longest par three on the course which requires a well struck shot to carry the lake and avoid the trees to the right. Take care not to three putt on this large green which slopes from back to front.
Hole 17, 336 Yards, Par 4
The penultimate hole is a sharp left to right dogleg par four. For the long hitter, club selection is crucial to avoid hitting the ball into the lake at the end of the fairway. Accuracy on the approach is crucial if you are to finish with a relatively easy putt on the course’s most deceptive green.

• Reciprocal Golf •
A
n added benefit to being a member at Chobham Golf Club is the chance to enjoy free golf at other golf courses in Surrey and neighbouring counties. We enjoy reciprocal golfing arrangements with the following courses:-
Corhampton
Founded in 1891 and situated 10 miles south of Winchester in southern Hampshire, Corhampton Golf Club is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, enjoying stunning views across hills, valleys and woodlands. The course plays 6378 yards off white tees, 6082 off yellows and 5788 off reds. A combination of natural contours, mature woodland and artfully placed bunkers provides a test for low and higher handicappers alike.
Cuddington
Established in 1929 on 166 acres of Surrey downland, the course was designed by the great Harry Colt. Easy walking and a great challenge for all players, each hole on the downland layout has been constructed to have its own individual character. What’s more, the chalk subsoil and USGAspecification greens ensure that the course dries out quickly in wet weather, meaning it plays on main tees and greens all year round.
Goodwood Park Golf Course
Designed by renowned golf architect and player, Donald Steel, the Park Course winds effortlessly around the beautiful 18th Century parkland surrounding Goodwood House. The easy walking 6,650 yard course meanders through woodland and tree lined fairways to closely guarded greens.
Weybrook Park Golf Club
Weybrook Park was opened in May 1997 by 2 time US Open champion Retief Goosen, and European Tour Players, Howard Clark, Peter Hedblom, Paul Broadhurst. The course is a challenging layout but playable for all standards of players with generous fairways and small fast greens. The course has good length and from the front tees measures 6433 yards whilst from the white tees a healthy 6746 yards.
Woodcote Park
Woodcote Park is a part parkland, part downland course measuring 6,814 yards. Founded in 1912, the course consists of two parts – 8 holes at the “top” of the course and on the same level as the clubhouse, and 10 holes which slope down about 150 feet to flat ground before gradually rising again to the original level.

• Members’ Golf •
M
embers at Chobham enjoy a full programme of golf throughout the year. There are fixtures against other clubs, together with much competition to be enjoyed alongside fellow members, some for silverware and some of a more social nature.
22 | Chobham Golf Club
One of the big attractions to new and established members are the ‘Roll up’ games we host at weekends and in midweek, while our non-competition days are also available for members to come along and enjoy a friendly day of golf. There is always something to suit your handicap, age and golfing desire at Chobham and you will certainly not be short of playing opportunities.
Men
The Men’s section at Chobham Golf Club has a regular programme of events including some with silverware on offer to the winners. We have a busy calendar with medals, stablefords and trophy competitions played throughout the year, as well as ample opportunity for social golf. As with all sections of the club, there is also a chance to represent Chobham in friendly matches, which are very relaxed affairs where enjoying good golf on fine courses and in good company is of more importance than the final result.
Two teams are fielded in local leagues - up to 14 handicappers playing matches for the Tigers with higher handicappers also being able to test their skills playing for the Rabbits.
Ladies
The Ladies section at Chobham is very well supported with a large programme of golfing events catering for all levels of ability. Medal and stableford qualifying competitions are organised in the spring, summer and autumn months with qualifying stablefords in the winter. These are played both at weekends and midweek
We also play a number of friendly matches against other clubs on a home and away basis both midweek and at the weekend. These matches are very sociable occasions, with the chance to socialise and catch up with old friends as eagerly anticipated as the opportunity to play golf itself. Ladies will find Chobham the ideal place to play and improve their golf and new members are assured of a warm welcome.
Mixed
An important aspect of the golfing activity within the club is mixed golf and many members take part in the various events which are organised during the year. Every month there is a weekend competition and also a Mixed Texas Scramble which takes place on one Monday each month. Friendly matches are played against neighbouring clubs both home and away.

T
here isn’t a golfer on the planet who wouldn’t like to improve some area of their game and those coming to Chobham for instruction and guidance are in very good hands. Our professional, Michael Harrison’s, holistic approach to golf coaching sets him apart from many other instructors. He dedicates much of his time to player development and treats each facet of the game as a separate entity, covering the full swing, pitching, chipping, putting, course management and the psychological side of golf. This enables him to formulate a plan, tailored to the individual, to maximise that person’s potential in the least amount of time possible.
It is Michael’s willingness and application in treating every student differently, rather than impose the same universal swing theories on all, that have been the foundation behind his success.
Video analysis is also available and is perfect for dissecting your golf swing to solve specific problems. We use V1 Ipad software, combined with a Canon hi-speed camera to look at every detailed aspect of your swing.
Half hour and hour long lessons are available, with video analysis if required. If you feel you are playing well but perhaps not quite scoring as you would like, then a 9-hole playing lesson can be the answer with expert guidance how to swing like the pros, plot your way round like the pros and think like the pros.
To book a lesson, contact Michael Harrison and his team in the Pro Shop by calling 01276 855584.

ith excellent facilities and a sociable, friendly group of members, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the off-course benefits of being a member at Chobham Golf Club.
An extensive and varied programme of social events is organised throughout the year. Our aim is that there should be something to appeal to everyone, whatever their taste in entertainment.
The Club prides itself on the amount of social golf on offer to members with golf followed by entertainment in the clubhouse proving to be an appealing combination. For instance, every June and August our members meet up for 9 holes of golf that are followed by a barbeque where the good natured competition on the course quickly gives way to post-match banter and where long-standing friendships are struck or rekindled.
The Club also likes to put on one social event a month, especially in the winter, and recent entertainment has included quiz nights, curry nights, beer and sausage tasting, race nights and a carol concert. We also hold a Summer Party and a formal Christmas Ball.
