Effingham Golf Club
Effingham has been a members club since 1927. The 6500 yard downland course is set on 264 acres of chalk downs with mature trees and exceptional views of London and across five counties from the undulating fairways designed by Harry S Colt.
The highest part of the course is 500 feet above sea level and the chalk subsoil makes for one of the driest courses in the country. Visiting golfers find the course a delight throughout the year.
The Georgian style clubhouse is a listed building dating from 1770 and provides superb facilities for societies and company days and is the spiritual home of the London Shipowners Golfing Society. For 2010 Effingham GC is one of The Open regional qualifier courses and in preparation a number of new tees have been created providing added to spice to an already exceptional course.
