338 | 60 | 2018-09-01 04:53:30 | Staffordshire | <p>Surrounded by seven different counties, Staffordshire in the West Midlands is sub divided into nine districts with Stoke-on-Trent as its main city. Famed worldwide for its pottery manufacturing since the 17th century, the conurbation of Stoke sits half way between Manchester and Birmingham in what was once the engine room of industrial England. </p><p>On the sporting front, eight clubs formed the Staffordshire Union of Golf Clubs</a> back in 1923. Seven of those clubs remain part of the present day Union, which has an office in the clubhouse of Brocton Hall Golf Club to oversee the activities of some fifty clubs. </p><p>Female golfers in the county were even quicker at organising themselves, with Staffordshire Ladies County Golf Association</a> founded in 1907. Geoffrey Marks – one of several Walker Cup golfers to have played county golf with Staffordshire – was captain of the first GB & Ireland team of amateur golfers to win on American soil (at the 16th attempt) when his team defeated the hosts at Peachtree in 1989 by the narrow margin of twelve and a half points to eleven and a half points.</p><p>Our Staffordshire Best in County golf course rankings were updated in 2017.

346 | 62 | 2018-09-01 04:53:51 | Surrey | <p>Surrey is the premier county in English golf with more golf courses in the Top 100 than any other county. It’s also one of the biggest counties in English golf with 115 golf clubs affiliated to the Surrey Golf Union</a>. The Surrey Ladies’ County Golf Association</a> was founded in 1929, six years after the men formed their golf Union. Nowadays, the women’s governing body looks after the interests of around 7,500 female golfers in 99 clubs.</p><p>One of the Home Counties to the west of London, Surrey is fortunate from a golfing perspective to have a swathe of sand running through the county, which was first exploited by Woking Golf Club. This sandy heathland provided free-draining ground for those London golfers who didn’t fancy travelling to the coast or the downs to play golf. These early “stars of sand and heather”, as described by Bernard Darwin, included Woking</a> (1893), New Zealand</a> (1895) and Hankley Common</a> (1896), but golf was played in Surrey much earlier than this. </p><p>Golf was probably played on Wimbledon Common in the early 19th century. Records go back to 1864, suggesting that some of the London Scottish Rifle Volunteer Corps, who were posted nearby, met on Wimbledon Common to form the London Scottish Golf Club. Golf then spread to the chalky North Downs of Guildford in 1886 and then to Epsom and then Banstead when heathland golf was still a twinkle in the eye. </p><p>Some golfers will wonder why Sunningdale, which has a Berkshire postal address, is listed in Surrey. The reason is simple, Sunningdale Golf Club is affiliated to the Surrey Golf Union and therefore features at the top of the Surrey County rankings.</p><p>Our Surrey Best in County</a> rankings were updated in November 2017.

355 | 62 | 2018-09-01 04:53:51 | Surrey | <p>Surrey is the premier county in English golf with more golf courses in the Top 100 than any other county. It’s also one of the biggest counties in English golf with 115 golf clubs affiliated to the Surrey Golf Union</a>. The Surrey Ladies’ County Golf Association</a> was founded in 1929, six years after the men formed their golf Union. Nowadays, the women’s governing body looks after the interests of around 7,500 female golfers in 99 clubs.</p><p>One of the Home Counties to the west of London, Surrey is fortunate from a golfing perspective to have a swathe of sand running through the county, which was first exploited by Woking Golf Club. This sandy heathland provided free-draining ground for those London golfers who didn’t fancy travelling to the coast or the downs to play golf. These early “stars of sand and heather”, as described by Bernard Darwin, included Woking</a> (1893), New Zealand</a> (1895) and Hankley Common</a> (1896), but golf was played in Surrey much earlier than this. </p><p>Golf was probably played on Wimbledon Common in the early 19th century. Records go back to 1864, suggesting that some of the London Scottish Rifle Volunteer Corps, who were posted nearby, met on Wimbledon Common to form the London Scottish Golf Club. Golf then spread to the chalky North Downs of Guildford in 1886 and then to Epsom and then Banstead when heathland golf was still a twinkle in the eye. </p><p>Some golfers will wonder why Sunningdale, which has a Berkshire postal address, is listed in Surrey. The reason is simple, Sunningdale Golf Club is affiliated to the Surrey Golf Union and therefore features at the top of the Surrey County rankings.</p><p>Our Surrey Best in County</a> rankings were updated in November 2017.

For the sheer excitement and visual drama of its location, there are not many courses in the world (never mind Ireland) that can match it.
