Frimley Green is a large village in Surrey, South East England, UK, close to the border with Hampshire. It is close to the towns of Camberley and Frimley, with the nearest major town being Guildford, approximately 10 miles (16 km) away.

Lakeside Country Club is also situated in the village, and has hosted the British Darts Organisation’s (BDO) World Professional Darts Championship each January since 1986. This annual event is broadcast by the BBC in the UK and by SBS in the Netherlands.

The nearest train stations are Frimley, Farnborough North and Farnborough (Main) (the train line from Farnborough to London Waterloo runs through part of the village).
