Milford Golf Club is a traditional Parkland Golf Course set in the Surrey Hampshire borders and was designed by the noted pairing of Peter Allis and Clive Clark. The natural contours of the course have been used to enhance the “strategic golf” experience. The excellence of the course is coupled with the well appointed club house and the unparalleled welcome of its friendly members.

If you feel you would be interested and wish to view the facilities we have to offer, we would be delighted to personally show you around.   We would also be pleased to offer you the chance to try the course at a discounted rate. This would be refunded in full if you decide to take up membership.
