A roller-coaster of a par 4 to close the nine. A dip before the green makes the approach harder to judge than it looks, and the bunkers waiting left aren't there for decoration. Get it wrong, and you'll know about it.

Perched above the fairway and framed by pines, the tricky 5th green leads into the rolling, heathery landscape that defines this part of the course.

What a summer we’ve enjoyed at The Sands. As the long days and warm sunshine give way to autumn, a different season of heathland golf awaits.

Cheesy grins and smiles all around as Lottie Woad went on to beat Luke bone in an exhibition match in support of our Captain's Charity, Alzheimer's Research UK.

Rolling heathland hills in the heart of Surrey, nothing beats it.

With the last few weeks of late afternoon golf coming to a close, get out and enjoy the course and a post-round drink on the terrace while you still can.

A massive thank you to Rupert and his team for all their hard work over the course of our busy golfing calendar. Keeping the course in great shape in challenging weather is no easy feat. We appreciate everything you do for us! #Thankagreenkeeper

Flying high above our heathland.

Throwback to the start of the month when Lottie and Luke battled it out on the heath. Members and juniors came out in their masses to watch one of the world's best. An afternoon full of laughs, smiles and good golf.

Golden hour over the 18th green, peaceful heathland golf in the evening summer sun. Hard to beat.

Members enjoying the peacefulness of the heathland in the summer evening sun, likely settling a match or deciding who buys the post-round drinks.

Our stunning 6th demands accuracy from the tee - miss the green and a tricky chip, bunker shot, or hack out of the heather awaits.

Congratulations to Lottie for being selected to represent team Europe in her first Solheim Cup next month at Bernardus in the Netherlands.

A summer like this tests heathland courses to their limits. Keeping greens firm while running true, and maintaining health through months without rain. Rupert and the greenkeeping team have made that happen. Their work deserves all of our thanks.

Lottie Woad came home to take on our Head Professional in an exhibition match supporting Alzheimer's Research UK. 260+ members and guests turned out. Huge thanks to Lottie for always giving back.

Last month's Pro-Am was a fantastic day, bringing professionals and amateurs together to experience our club and course. Thank you to our main sponsor, Mica Projects. This event raised over £10,000 for our Captains Charity, Alzheimer's Research UK.

At just 260 yards our fourth hole is definitely one to tempt attacking play. But with danger lurking all around the green and a subtly undulating putting surface, it's not one to get too greedy with.

Lottie's back at the AIG Women's Open. We cannot wait to watch her compete and will be cheering her on all week. Go Lottie.

12 members and caddies completed 72 holes yesterday in aid of Alzheimer's Research UK, teeing off at 4:30am and finishing at 8:30pm. Well done to all involved, and thanks to everyone who donated. Support the cause: justgiving.com/page/farnham-…

Our peaceful heathland we're fortunate to call home.
