 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. They are among the best in southern England. With its undulating fairways, heather, gorse and trees the course is outstandingly beautiful. There is a profusion of rhododendrons in the spring. Well manicured throughout the year, the course retains its heathland character with fast-running fairways and greens

This section includes a History of the Design. The Course was designed by Arthur Croome in 1922 and finessed after his early death by his partner Tom Simpson. Both were supporters of the ‘Strategic’ as opposed to the ‘Penal’ school of course design meaning that the golfer is rewarded for course strategy rather than long hitting

There is a Gallery of Photos of the Liphook’s Signature Holes and Hole by Hole descriptions and diagrams.

The Course Manager contributes a regular Course Diary describing the work of his team.
