Liphook Golf Club
Liphook is a traditional golf club with one of the best courses in the country. Opened in 1923, the course was soon recognised by the R&A as an exemplary inland heathland course and is also an early example of Strategic Design for golf courses.
By today's standards Liphook is not a long course having both an SSS and Par of 70, measuring just 6295 yards from the Championship tees and 6188 yards from the medal tees. The course has five par 4 holes of over 400 yards and three par 5s. Its tight fairways, lined with an abundance of heather, gorse and trees, put a premium on accuracy but its biggest defence are its greens, true and fast with subtle breaks and borrows.
