West Byfleet Golf Club

Parkland course with some narrow treelined fairways. Course was in excellent condition on the day, and well maintained. Bit on the pricey side for a round but definitely due a revisit.

West Byfleet GC is a par 70 parkland course in West Byfleet, near Woking Surrey. It is located close to Pyrford, Twisted Stone (oka Traditions) and Hoebridge golf clubs.

It is a traditional members course establishwed in 1903.

I played the 6,197 yards white tees. The course is in magnificent condition; the green were of various sizes and slopes and were difficult to read in terms of lines and pace. All tees are close to the previous greens so there is no excessive on course walking. There are 6 par 4s in excess of 400 yards.

The midweek visitor green fees are £55 or £35 with a County Card. I played the course by entering their annual Seniors Open Stableford Competition. The competition entry fee included coffee, 18 holes, a two course lunch, coffee and prizes. A truly excellent VFM way to play the course.

There is a lovely halfway house a short walk from the clubhouse.

The competition was highly organised, ie the best I have encountered this year, involved a home club member grouped with three visitors, off a shotgun start. My host member was marvelous in terms of on course advise, playing quality, and hospitality.

This is a course I've known about for years, I have clubs in the bag bought from their pro-shop, and wanted an opportunity to play. I wasn't dissappointed but was instead very pleased. I hope to play it again soon, hopefully before next years competition, and I heartily recommend that you play it if you get a VFM opportunity.
