Effingham is a traditional private members’ golf club with one of the finest downland courses in England, designed originally by the renowned Harry Colt. Set on 264 acres of rolling chalk downs and at up to 500 feet above sea level, the two 9 hole loops have magnificent, panoramic views across the London skyline.
In recent years the Club has invested significantly to return all the bunkers on its historic layout back to their original design and is currently creating a state of the art short game practice facility. The Club is proud to be ranked within the Top 100 England Courses by Golf World.
