Effingham Golf Club
Effingham Golf Club, Guildford Road, Effingham, Surrey, KT24 5PZ
The Club House of the Golf Club (formerly Effingham House) originates from the early 18th century but was extensively extended and remodelled in the late 18th century. It became the manor house of Effingham manor in 1823. The recessed wings were added in 1880 and on either side of the house are ancient Cedars which feature as our club emblem.
Inside, early decorative features remain. A feature of the clubhouse is the oak beam in the Armada Room above the old fireplace which bears the date 1591 and came from an earlier house, possibly Effingham East Court manor house. The room is so named because of the early date of the beam and the Lord Howard association with Effingham.
Our course was designed and set out in 1927 by Harry Shapland Colt, perhaps England's most famous course architect, who designed 300 or more courses worldwide.
Illustrated displays will explain the history of the house and the Golf Club.
