Where does the helicopter land for Wentworth?
Helicopter charter to Wentworth starts from Fairoaks, a general aviation airfield near Chobham with an 810 metre runway, Avgas and Jet A-1 and several helicopter businesses based on site. It is the nearest site to Virginia Water in our library, and its hours of Monday to Saturday 08:00 to 18:00 and Sunday 09:00 to 18:00 are extended by arrangement from 07:00 to 22:00 at a charge. A car completes the journey to the club.
Charter-A Helicopter is the helicopter charter service of Charter-A Ltd, which has arranged private flights across the UK and Europe since 2011. Whether a helicopter may land at the club itself depends on the club's own rules, and we ask first. We never promise a landing in advance; every landing at a club, hotel or private site is subject to landing permission and site suitability. See helicopter charter Surrey.

Golf days and tournament weeks
Wentworth has hosted the PGA Championship on the DP World Tour, and it is a destination for corporate golf days and member-guest events. Tournament weeks, entry, hospitality and tee times come from the club and the organisers; we arrange the travel. Our golf by helicopter page explains how a corporate golf day is built, and the same pattern applies to nearby clubs.
Tournament weeks are hard on the roads and on parking, so a helicopter to Fairoaks and a car for the last stretch is a natural plan. Plan the return around the airfield's 18:00 close or agree an extension in advance. See business helicopter charter for corporate groups.
Planning notes
Arrive 10 minutes before departure, supply weights and keep golf bags and luggage to soft cases; we tell you the limits for the aircraft. The airspace around Heathrow and Farnborough is busy, and routes are planned in advance. If the flight is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing.
Executive Global Travel can arrange cars. See the London and Home Counties page for more airfields, including Farnborough and Heathrow.
