Tee Times for you

Foxhills Golf & CC - Long Cross Course

The Longcross is widely considered the very best example of a typical tree-lined Surrey course. It winds through Scots pine, beech and silver birch trees and is very reminiscent of Sunningdale’s Old Course in places. The 14th at Longcross was recently voted one of the greatest holes ever played by BBC Radio 5 Live listeners. The 408-yard par-four first hole sets the tone for the round. The drive has to be fired down a funnel between the trees and the second shot must negotiate two bunkers that protect the front of the green. It can cause all sorts of trouble for the wild hitter. The uphill, 430-yard par 4 ninth is arguably the most difficult hole, requiring a tee shot of more than 200 yards to clear a bunker on the left and set up an opportunity to reach the green in two. The Longcross last hole (see photo above) is also an uphiller, this time of 531 yards, with a large tree on the left narrowing the fairway for the second shot. Again, the approach shot is partially blind to the large, double green which makes for a fantastic climax to the round.
