Surrey, United Kingdom
Walton Heath Golf Club comprises two championship heathland courses in Surrey, England. The Old Course, designed by Herbert Fowler, has consistently ranked in the World's Top 100 since 1938. It demands a versatile shot-making repertoire, featuring greater length and smaller greens requiring precision play. The New Course, opened in 1907 as nine holes and extended to eighteen in 1913, stretches to 7,200 yards from the back tees and ranks in the UK and Ireland's Top 50. Both courses share an open heathland setting under expansive skies, described by Jack Nicklaus as "wonderfully pure." Founded in 1903 with James Braid as its first professional, the club boasts significant tournament history, hosting the Ryder Cup (1981), Senior Open (2011), and British Masters (2018). The courses present serious challenges suited to accomplished golfers, combining traditional design principles with contemporary practice facilities.
