Both courses are Burhill are somewhat overshadowed by their numerous high profile Surrey neighbours, particularly St George's Hill which is only a couple of miles away. Having said that I really enjoyed playing the immaculately presented and challenging Old course which I personally preferred to the New. The combination of high quality sloping greens and excellent bunkering make for a good test even though it's not particularly long. Most of the bunkers look fantastic and frame the greens beautifully as well as creating a strategic challenge on the fairways. The par 3's are also good and I loved the two short par 4's which both offer good birdie opportunities. On the pretty dogleg 4th you must position your tee shot well to open up the green, before avoiding the greenside bunkers on your approach and the driveable 12th has an unusual sunken green to negotiate. Beginning at the 15th, the tough finishing stretch is particularly memorable and includes three par 4's measuring well over 400 yards. The new halfway house was having its finishing touches applied during my visit so I didn't get the chance to try it out this time around but it did look very pleasant. The course gets a 4-ball rating from me but falls somewhere between 4 and 5 in reality. Brian W
