For any golfer, Epsom offers an unusual challenge. At 5,780 yards, the course comprises a wide variety of traditional downland holes that offer a unique and intriguing challenge to golfers because no two holes are alike.

From some tees the hole seems tight through trees whereas others seem more open but the undulating fairways and greens ensure that good concentration and application are required. Many say that the course at Epsom is a great leveler because guile and skill replace the ability to drive balls a long way as on many modern courses.

However, it is Epsom’s greens that are legend. Consistent and very true, they offer a very demanding test because of their mixture of surprising speed and undulation. Only the 18th green can boast to be level and it is also the only hole at Epsom to feature bunkers.
