 UK-GolfGuide.com: : Golfers' Reports on Pyrford Golf Club 1993, Woking in England
We were lucky enough to play Pyrford on a nice day, if not a little windy, and whereby I agree with the comments regarding some of the bunkers, the greens were fantastic.
Pyrford is indeed a tough course to play, and as a member we are always able to play off the white tees, making the course a real test.
The comments to date sum up Pyrford perfectly, it is a great course to play once or twice for entertainemnt value but too penalising to play on a week by week basis, especially if you only have the time to play once a week causing inconsistency.

Chertsey, buoyed by their recent form, went to Pyrford with their heads held high but, to a man (and monkey), they knew that this was the toughest fixture of the season.
The game began, on a sunny Pyrford afternoon, with Chertsey kicking down hill and the CC were quickly into their stride.
Pyrford broke swiftly but Chertsey had numbers back.

 More than a Mooring - Pyrford Marina   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Although it is called a basin, suggesting that it may be a relic from the commercial heyday of the waterway, it was in fact excavated about twenty five years ago as a mooring place for pleasure craft.
It is rare to find a marina with spaces available and Pyrford is no exception - it closed its waiting list when it reached the three year mark.
The Pyrford brand of new narrowboats, constructed and fitted-out by Liverpool Boats to a Pyrford specification, are also available here.

 Chapter Ten: In the Storm. Wells, H.G. 1898. The War of the Worlds
The scent of hay was in the air through the lush meadows beyond Pyrford, and the hedges on either side were sweet and gay with multitudes of dog-roses.
Ripley Street was deserted, and except for a lighted window or so the village showed not a sign of life; but I narrowly escaped an accident at the corner of the road to Pyrford, where a knot of people stood with their backs to me. They said nothing to me as I passed.
The horse lay motionless (his neck was broken, poor brute!) and by the lightning flashes I saw the fl bulk of the overturned dog cart and the silhouette of the wheel still spinning slowly.
