Water features heavily at Horsley on most holes as two brooks wind their way through the landscape with the constructors having damned them up to create lakes and water courses.

History of the Golf Course

Since 1990

Established in 1990, this family-owned club’s 18-hole course was first designed by architect Bill White. In 1998, it was remodeled by Peter McEvoy OBE, a former World Champion of Golf. McEvoy’s redesign brought the greens and surrounds up to USGA standards, creating a course that rewards skilled golfers without discouraging higher handicappers. Over the years, nearly 10,000 sapling trees have grown tall, and new bunkers and lakes have enhanced the landscape. Many professionals now rate Horsley Lodge’s layout and greens among the best they’ve played.

The Designers:
White and McEvoy

Bill White’s original layout in 1988 has stood the test of time. As a former professional golfer, he designed a course that blended seamlessly with the natural terrain. In 1998, Peter McEvoy OBE remodeled the greens to USGA standards. McEvoy highlighted the short 12th and long 17th holes as standout features. He said, “The 12th hole is the best Par 3 I’ve ever designed and fits beautifully in its surroundings.” Craig Cooke Construction, who had worked on the Loch Lomond and Valderama courses, expertly shaped the greens. McEvoy, a World Amateur Champion in 1977 and 1978, has designed courses for over 20 years, including Fota Island in Ireland. After remodeling Horsley, he captained the GB and Ireland Walker Cup teams in 1999 and 2001. He was awarded the OBE in 2003 for ‘Services to golf’ and remains a trusted advisor to Horsley Lodge.
