Leatherhead Golf Club sits in the Surrey Hills, one of England's most storied counties for golf. The area is rich with heathland and parkland layouts — Sunningdale, Walton Heath, Wentworth, and Burhill are all within reasonable reach — and Surrey's mix of sandy soils, heather, birch, and pine gives the region a distinct golfing identity that sets it apart from courses built on heavier clay ground.
The club occupies the kind of English countryside that rewards a round on foot: rolling terrain, mature tree lines, and the quiet of the North Downs not far beyond. Leatherhead the town sits just off the M25 corridor, making this accessible from London and the wider Home Counties without quite feeling like a suburban track — the countryside asserts itself clearly once you're on the course.
A par of 71 suggests a layout that leans on precision over raw power, where positioning off the tee and a reliable short game likely matter more than distance. For Surrey golf at the accessible end of the county's spectrum, it represents a solid local option.
