In Volume 1 of The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, Tom Doak published that.

“By no means is Hindhead one of the best courses in Surrey, but it's still worth a stop to play the several holes laid along the bottom of very deep and narrow valleys, on terrain unlike any other course I know. the best of the bunch are the 4th and 5th, but if you've never played the course before, it would be difficult to convince you that there is a fairway waiting down there from the 2nd tee”

The Hindhead Golf Club received a score of 5 out of 10 from Tom Doak.
