1 Night, 1 Round
Lingfield Park Marriott Hotel & Country Club ticks a lot of boxes if you want a Surrey golf break that doesn't involve a long drive or a complicated itinerary. You've got a proper parkland course that's hosted local PGA events, a comfortable four-star hotel with 116 rooms and the sort of peaceful countryside setting that makes you forget the M25 is only 15 minutes away. The estate is shared with Lingfield Park Racecourse, which gives the place a bit of added buzz on racedays and some seriously good views from the hotel.
The golf course is a local favourite, with a parkland layout that asks you to shape a few shots and pick sensible targets. It's enjoyable for mid-handicappers, but there's enough going on to keep better players interested, especially when the greens are running true. Off the course, you've got the Cyprium Bar & Grill for an easy evening meal and a leisure club that's ideal for a post-round dip. If you fancy making more of a weekend of it, you can mix 18 holes with a day at the races, or simply use Lingfield as a handy base for exploring this corner where Surrey, Sussex and Kent meet.
Less than an hour from central London and around 20 minutes from Gatwick, it's also one of the simplest South of England breaks to reach for a quick two-nighter with the lads, a couples' stay or a small society trip. A good day here is 18 holes in the morning, horses in the afternoon, then dinner at Cyprium without needing to drive anywhere.
Who is this for?
Golfers looking for a quality South of England break within easy reach of London and the major motorways, couples wanting to combine golf with racing and countryside relaxation, and groups who appreciate a proper parkland course alongside four-star hotel facilities.
Who is it best for?
Mid-to-low handicappers who enjoy a strategic parkland layout, societies and corporate groups seeking a well-rounded venue with dining and leisure options, and anyone flying into Gatwick who wants a golf break without the hassle of a long transfer.

The added bonus is access to the excellent Lingfield Park Golf Course, located onsite and recently improved to offer a splendid 6,487 yard test. Located within the grounds of the racecourse, the golf at Lingfield Park is the perfect complement.
As the host of numerous local PGA events, including The Surrey Open, Lingfield Park is a superb test of golf from the back tees, rewarding those who are able to drive accurately and take advantage of it's design to open up greens and second shots. With many testing tee-shots on display, most notably on the front 9 with it's tree-lined holes, those with a keen ability off the tee will be score well here. The course enjoys great views and numerous elevations so what the course lacks in length is more than made up by the natural landscape.

With 116 rooms, Lingfield Park Marriott is set up well for golf groups and societies, but it doesn't feel massive or chaotic. If you can, I'd look at the 28 superior balcony rooms. They're the ones that make the most of the setting, with views over either the golf course or the racecourse, so you can sit out with a coffee and watch the estate wake up.
Rooms are modern Marriott-comfy rather than flashy, which is exactly what you want after 18 holes. You've got space to spread out, decent beds and the sort of practical touches that make short breaks easy. The hotel's location, just 20 minutes from Gatwick and 15 minutes from Junction 6 of the M25 or Junction 10 of the M23, makes it one of the easiest golf breaks to reach in the South East, whether you're driving down from London or flying in for a quick weekend.
Cyprium Bar & Grill is the main spot for dinner and a drink, with big windows looking out over the course and racecourse. The menu is broad enough for groups, covering everything from steaks and grills to lighter options that suit both large parties and smaller groups who want a quieter corner. The atmosphere in the evenings is relaxed and sociable, with private booths available if you're travelling as a couple or just want a bit more privacy. The variety on the menu means it works well for golf societies with different tastes, and the views make it a pleasant spot to settle in for the evening.
There's a pool, jacuzzi and gym on site, ideal for loosening up after your round or killing an hour before dinner. The facilities are more than adequate for a golf break, and the pool in particular is a nice touch if you're travelling with non-golfers or just want to feel like you've had a proper break, not just a golf trip.
Lingfield Park is nestled in the countryside that borders Surrey, Sussex and Kent, just 20 minutes from Gatwick Airport and a mere 15 minutes from Junction 6 of the M25 or Junction 10 of the M23.

Great big rooms, good spa, nice golf course, perfect for a weekend of golf, spa and the races right next door. However the restaurant is not good enough and is unable to cater for multiple people or tables. Very ordinary menu and food arriving cold, or not at all. Such a pity as the restaurant lets down the whole hotel.

The hotel was excellent for our trip. Rooms were a good size, clean, fresh and well furnished. The staff were all very friendly, and the race course just outside the window was an added bonus.

Despite heavy rain the course was in good condition, the greens were true, and the whole break was first class. We have been here several times before and it has always been excellent...

Course was tight but in good condition despite the greens being scarified. Excellent venue as we managed to sit outside the hotel bar after golf to watch the Horse racing😀

The course was good except there was a temporary green on the 17th and we were not informed about it. There was no indication anywhere about it which was a bit annoying.

Nice golf course, perfect for visitor golf when staying at the hotel. The pro-shop is very over-priced.

The course is a lovely mature course that meanders through the countryside surrounding the Lingfield estate. It is therefore a difficult course if you are not accurate off the tees. Our group lost a lot of balls throughout the weekend, but fully accept that is our poor playing than anything else! I think those that have a handicap or more than 20 may struggle, or just accept that they will be a few balls down at the end of the day. Despite that our group of 8 were all keen to visit and play again, and all really enjoyed the weekend.

This is a really nice course, tree lined and very private. It is hilly so I would recommend a trolley. Greens were in good condition (bit slow but they had been spiked for autumn). There are some pretty holes. We had the course to our selves. Only suggestion to green keepers would be to remove some of the grass from "in the bunkers". Would recommend this to any golfer, great value too.
