Information

The “Father & Son“ Tournament was introduced by Major Geoffrey Lubbock, who had two golfing sons, in 1929 when the competition was open to members of Surrey clubs only. The event was made open in 1931 and after Major Lubbock's death at the end of that year, Marguerite Lubbock his widow and owner presented a trophy in his memory which is still played for today.

The foursomes match play event is held over 4 days usually during the Easter holidays and attracts amateur golfers from all around the world.

This years winners were Pat & Jack Ashby from Worthing who beat Nigel & Chris Gray from Hankley.

Testimonials

“Defined by its majestic trees and abundant heather, this is a delightful course that is consistently strong all the way round. With five lovely par 3’s and varied short par 4 holes it plays every inch of its length and more. In an area packed with first-class golf, it deservedly sits proud“
