A huge rise for Hankley which is reward for the extensive work on the course since our last ranking in 2010, when it was perhaps unfortunate to be so low. Lots of shrubs and a few trees have been cleared during a process of heather regeneration which has proved extremely successful. On the 4th tee, you used to drive over gorse and bracken – now it is just heather and there are better views generally as a result of the clearance.

The back of the 12th green has also been redesigned. The bank and tree have been removed and replaced with heather, which is better for the green’s surface and maintains the character of the course. The 16th tee has also been enlarged as the combination of Open qualifiers, professional events and club championships took their toll on the existing smaller tee. Located south east of the more celebrated Surrey heathlands, this wonderful course could easily threaten to usurp some very famous names in the near future.
