The club

Averleigh has 340 members, one course and one House. It was laid out in 1897 across a Georgian park in the High Weald, and it has never tried to be any larger.

Two members walking down a striped fairway in the morning, one carrying a leather pencil bag

The course is walked. Two-balls have the run of it, a round takes a little over three hours, and foursomes go out first on Sunday mornings.

Lunch is served in the Long Room every day of the year but Christmas, and the House keeps eight bedrooms for members and their guests.
