Leatherhead is a town in Surrey, England on the right bank of the River Mole, and at the edge of the contiguous built-up area of London. Its local district is Mole Valley. Records exist of the place from Anglo Saxon England. It has a combined theatre and cinema, which is at the centre of the re-modelling following late 20th century pedestrianisation. The bypass streets to the town centre close and feature annually in the London-Surrey cycle classic which is ranked by the world's cycling federation.
Just north-east of the midpoint of Surrey[n 1] and at a junction of ancient north–south and east–west roads, elements of the town have been a focus for transport throughout its history. A main early spur to this was the construction of the bridge over the seasonally navigable River Mole in the early medieval period. Later the Swan Hotel provided 300 years of service to horse-drawn coaches. In the late 20th century the M25 motorway was built nearby.
In 1986, the town was joined to the UK motorway system, when the M25 motorway was built to the north. Leatherhead became Junction 9, which has odd non-aligned entry/exit points on the two sides. The town is perhaps most frequently mentioned in the national media as the location of motorway traffic jams and accidents.
The symbol of Leatherhead is a swan holding a sword in its beak. This can be seen on the old Leatherhead coat of arms, and on the Mole Valley coat of arms. The insignia of Leatherhead Football Club includes a swan, as do the logos of the Swan Shopping Centre, Therfield School and the leisure centre.
North Leatherhead or Leatherhead Common is the area north of the Kingston Road Bridge, bordered to the north by Leatherhead Golf Course, Ashtead Common and the M25 motorway and to the south by the railway which forks by the town centre. It includes the town's main secondary school, Therfield School, and part of the Trinity School, as well as the bulk of the town's social housing.
Leatherhead formerly had a number of light manufacturing businesses, such as the Ronson's lighter factory, but in and around the 1980s many closed or moved on. Recent years have seen the emergence of several industrial parks, and the town has attracted many service and headquarters operations, including well known companies.
Leatherhead is served by Leatherhead railway station. Over the years, however, Leatherhead has had four railway stations, two of which were only temporary and survived for about eight years from the railway's first opening in 1859.

Leatherhead Golf Club 18th Hole
The 18th at Leatherhead GC is a tough finishing hole. At 204 yards from the white tee's its not the shortest of Par 3's and plays slightly uphill. The green is narrow and guarded by greenside bunkers left and right. There is also a bunker short of the green for the slightly mishit shot. Finishing your round with a par 3 here will feel like a birdie.

Leatherhead Golf Club 17th Hole
The 17th at Leatherhead Golf Club is a short but testing par 4. the hole measures 336 yards with a slight dogleg to the right. Its the difficult tee shot which makes this hole dangerous. If you have a good score, the 17th could be a card wrecker! The tee shot requires an accurate long iron or wood through a tunnel of trees. The ideal tee shot will leave you with around 90-120 yards. Charlie Lidyard shows us how to hit the ideal 2nd shot and give yourself a good birdie chance.
Leatherhead Golf Club 16th Hole
The 16th is a great par 5. At 515 yards its long and the 2nd and 3rd shots play uphill. There is danger for miss hit golf shots on this hole. Out of Bounds Right off the tee, bunker left. A good drive leaves with a choice to lay up of the deep fairway bunkers and leave yourself 150+ yards or carry over them and leave yourself a short pitch. The danger isnt over yet. The green is raised and has bunkers short left and right so be careful. Good course management here will lead to a well deserved 4 and a par here isnt bad either.

NCG Top 10: Hardest UK courses to go and play
It isn’t impossible to play these courses, but it’s often a case of who you know. At others, you’ll need deep pockets and these courses might just ask you to prove it before they let you join
10. Ardfin
Isle of Jura
Designed by Australian Bob Harrison, the course on the Isle of Jura is finished but not yet open. We don’t know how open it will ever be. It may just become the private plaything of its owner, Australian millionaire Greg Coffey.
The population of Jura is just 200 so it is unlikely that there will ever be a queue on the 1st tee.
9. Swinley Forest
Ascot, BerkshireSwinley Forest
You can play at Swinley as a visitor, but only if they want you to. Generally, a key deciding factor is whether or not you have been before. They’d much prefer it if they already knew you. So it can be a bit catch 22. Swinley Forest, which the greatest architect of all, Harry Colt, modestly described as “the least bad course” he ever designed, didn’t have a scorecard for many years. To this day, they certainly don’t have a website and they may or may not have a phone.
8. Skibo Castle
Dornoch, Highlands
This course is arguably the best in our list. It was originally designed by Donald Steel and Tom Mackenzie but has changed much since then thanks to further work from Mackenzie, alongside Skibo’s director of golf and former European Tour pro, David Thompson.
7. The Royal Household Golf Club at Windsor Castle
This is a 9-hole course in the grounds of Windsor Castle, owned by the royal family. Guests are by invitation only and must play with a member.
Money is not the deciding factor. But breeding may well be.
6. Loch Lomond
Dunbartonshire
The work of American due Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, the club formerly belonged to the American Lyle Anderson. He went bust in the global recession and it defaulted to RBS, meaning it was technically the property of the taxpayer for a while. Now it belongs to the members, who are encouraged to bring their guests along for a game.
5. The Renaissance Club
Gullane, East Lothian
Tom Doak’s first and only design to date in the UK is located between Muirfield and Archerfield in the golfing paradise of the East Lothian coast. It has a mainly international membership who enjoy an exquisitely presented course with incredible practice facilities. Renaissance recently swapped some land with Muirfield, allowing them to build three new holes by the sea and Muirfield to extend their 9th hole with a new championship tee.
4. The Wisley
Woking, Surrey
It’s members (and their guests) only at this 27-hole Robert Trent Jones Jnr-designed American-style parkland on the outskirts of London. The key features are lots of water, great conditioning and amazing practice facilities. The three nines have all recently been renovated to mark The Wisley’s 25th anniversary.
3. Wentworth (West)
Virginia Water, Surrey
Visitors used to be welcome at Wentworth – providing they were happy to pay £350 a time, though that did include a caddie, if not a tip. Now though, since being purchase by Reignwood, a Chinese conglomerate owned by a Thai billionaire, you will struggle to get on the property unless you are a member or guest. The West course continues to host the BMW PGA Championship and Wentworth remains the home of the European Tour. How compatible that is in the longer term with the wishes of the new owners is unclear.
2. Beaverbrook
Near Leatherhead, Surrey
Beaverbrook was designed by quite a double act – try the five-time Open champion Tom Watson and the renowned architect David McLay Kidd, who has given us the Castle Course and Machrihanish Dunes in his homeland.
Beaverbrook is a mixture of downland and parkland. The estate is owned by the Cadbury family and the course belatedly opened last year after some protracted legal wrangles over the use of the land.
1 Queenwood
Ottershaw, Surrey
Lot of courses say they will do what Queenwood does but few have ever managed to deliver the hyper-exclusive, behind-closed-doors, top-quality golfing experience that Queenwood has offered for a good 10 years now. It’s a model that seems to work for them and them alone. It helps being located in Surrey.
The atmosphere is low-key and the members genuinely come here to escape from the world and play golf rather than see and be seen. It’s also a very good course, designed by Scot David McLay Kidd. In terms of style, there are shades of the Duke’s at St Andrews in places.
New members, say the club, must be recommended by existing ones. There are currently no vacancies.

Leatherhead Golf Club 15th Hole
The 15th is another tough par 3. Leatherhead has 5 par 3's and its vital to play them well to have a good score. The 15th is 198 yards from the whites so no walk in the park by any means. The 2 tier green is a big feature on this hole and the hole can made alot tougher if the pin is tucked up in the back right hand corner. A par 3 here and you will walk off very happy, just make sure you get it on the right tier. If you dont quite get it on the right tier, Charlie Lidyard (euro pro Tour Professional) shows us how its meant to be done.
