Exeter Golf Club is a classic countryside layout – straightforward, scenic, and honest. Set just outside London, it’s a public 18-hole course that rewards accuracy and a steady short game.

Exeter Golf Club is small-town golf done right – welcoming, walkable, and always a pleasant surprise for first-timers.
