Brampton Heath is located on undulating heathland, sitting on very free draining soil. This allows play all year round, always with trolleys and never on tee mats. The greens play very true at all times and the fairways are arguably considered the best in the County.

There is also a 9 hole short course which is ideal for new players to gain confidence before tackling an 18 hole course and also for experienced golfers to work on their short game. It is a popular tool for teaching as well. Play is always from grass tees to proper greens in immaculate condition all year round.  The course has hosted both the 1999 and 2001 qualifiers for the PGA British Short Course Championships, and is regularly used for "training camps" by all the county squads.
