As Captain it is my privilege to present our Club to you.
We are fortunate that the vision of W G Tarrant led him to engage the legendary Harry S Colt to design and build a golf course of such enduring quality on St George’s Hill, opening in 1912. It is recorded that Colt himself considered our Course to be his ‘Jewel in the Crown’ and for all of us who are fortunate enough to play regularly it is a gem, not only to be cherished and revered but most of all to be enjoyed. It is a challenging test of golf in the most beautiful of settings.
Bernard Darwin, probably the most famous of all golf writers and the golf correspondent for The Times between 1907 and 1953, wrote:
‘By a merciful dispensation of Providence, fir trees, sand and heather, which are beautiful things in themselves, are the ingredients from which inland courses should be made. The prettiest courses are the best and certainly one of the prettiest and best is St George’s Hill’ |  |
| | Members, their guests and our visitors wholeheartedly agree with Darwin’s sentiments and each year we continue to strive to make improvements, both on and off the Course, in the pursuit of perfection.
We believe we have a team dedicated to making the experience of playing golf at St George’s Hill both memorable and pleasurable for members, their guests and our visitors alike. We pride ourselves on providing a friendly and hospitable service of the highest quality both on the Course and in the recently refurbished Clubhouse. We also have a first class Professionals’ Shop with expert instruction available.
To discover more about our facilities please use the links above and if you would like to visit us please contact our Secretary, John Robinson or his Assistant, Christine Riggs, who will be happy to provide you with any additional information you may require.
I take this opportunity to extend the warmest welcome to all who come to play at St George’s Hill and wish you a happy and enjoyable time.
Stewart Smith.
