Woking is a very strong Surrey golf base, especially for golfers who want easy London access and proper heathland golf nearby. Heathrow is the easiest airport option, with the road distance from Heathrow to Woking listed at around 16.3 miles.

The big golf appeal is the famous Surrey heathland belt. Woking Golf Club was founded in 1893 and sits close to other standout local courses, including West Hill and Worplesdon — the well-known “Three Ws” group. Golf Monthly describes Woking as a traditional heathland course with superb green complexes and ranks it inside its UK & Ireland Top 100 list for 2025/26. West Hill is another strong option, described by the club as a classic heathland course designed in 1909, lined with Scots pines and heather.

Away from golf, Woking gives groups restaurants, shopping, theatres, rail links and easy access to Surrey countryside. Visit Surrey describes Woking as a vibrant town with attractions, shopping and dining, so it works well for a golf weekend that still has things to do after the round.

For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Woking works best as a premium Surrey golf weekend, a London-edge short break, or a base for playing classic heathland courses without staying in central London.
