About the Business
Foxhills have staged a number of prestigious tournaments such as the European Tour’s Tournament Players Championship and the Tour’s Qualifying School. Open champion Sandy Lyle and European Tour veteran D.A. Russell are two of the esteemed winners of the Qualifying Schools held here.
The club also helped to start the careers of two of the English golf's brightest young stars on tour. Paul Casey and Anthony Wall were both early members of the lauded Foxhills Foundation junior golf programme that seeks to develop promising golfers aged between 12 and 16. It provides free membership, equipment, and tuition for four local boys and girls over a four-year period.

Longcross Course
The 408-yard par-four first hole sets the tone for the round. The drive has to be fired down a funnel between the trees and the second shot must negotiate two bunkers that protect the front of the green. It can cause all sorts of trouble for the wild hitter. The uphill, 430-yard par 4 ninth is arguably the most difficult hole, requiring a tee shot of more than 200 yards to clear a bunker on the left and set up an opportunity to reach the green in two.
Bernard Hunt Course
Not surprisingly, the course that's named after him offers more than a few serious challenges for club golfers. The 10th hole, for instance, is a 445-yard par-4 that plays downhill initially and then sweeps uphill to a green protected by two bunkers in front of the putting surface. You have to keep your tee shot to the left of the fairway to have the best angle into a green which slopes wickedly from back right to front left. It is undoubtedly the most difficult hole on the inward nine and one where a par feels like a birdie.
