Puttenham Golf Club occupies a beautiful stretch of heathland and commons west of Guildford, near the village of Puttenham in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The course runs across sandy heathland with heather, gorse and pine providing the characteristic framing of a traditional English heathland layout. The terrain is pleasingly varied, with gentle rises and dips adding to the strategic interest of the round, and the natural landscape of the Hog's Back ridge nearby contributes to the scenic appeal. Puttenham is a welcoming, reasonably sized members' club that offers access to visiting golfers, and its heathland credentials are genuine — this is not a manufactured course but one that grows naturally from its sandy, acidic surroundings. It is an appealing option for those exploring golf in the south-west Surrey heathland corridor.
