Walton Heath Golf Club is one of the world’s most highly regarded golf clubs, renowned for its rich sporting and political history and the outstanding quality of its two exceptional heathland courses in Surrey, England.
The Old Course and New Course are both ranked among the Top 50 golf courses in the UK and Ireland, with the Old Course maintaining its place in the World’s Top 100 Golf Courses every year since rankings began in 1938.
The legendary Jack Nicklaus famously described Walton Heath as “wonderfully pure.”
Founded in 1903, Walton Heath has a distinguished heritage. Its first Captain was Edward VIII, while five-time The Open Championship champion James Braid served as Professional for more than forty-five years. Winston Churchill was a regular player, and the Club has hosted many major championships, including the 1981 Ryder Cup, 2018 British Masters and 2023 AIG Women's Open Championship.
MoreHighlights of the Club’s calendar include the U.S. Open Qualifier in May and The Walton Heath Trophy, a 72-hole elite amateur championship held each July - awarding World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) points and featuring simultaneous men’s and women’s competitions, the event attracts many of the world’s leading amateur golfers. Former champions include Danny Willett, while Michael Campbell famously qualified here before winning the U.S. Open in 2005.
MoreWalton Heath’s Old Course, designed by Herbert Fowler, has appeared in the World’s Top 100 Golf Courses every year since rankings began in 1938. Fowler’s design rewards imagination and a full repertoire of shots, with its length and smaller greens often calling for traditional “Scottish” approaches.
As part of the Club’s long-term course master plan, leading architects Tom Mackenzie and Martin Ebert are undertaking carefully phased winter restoration, sensitively enhancing the course while preserving its historic character.
MoreWalton Heath’s New Course shares the same open heathland landscape and stands as a championship course in its own right. First opened as nine holes in 1907 and extended to eighteen in 1913, it now stretches to 7,200 yards from the back tees and has ranked among the Top 50 courses in the UK and Ireland for more than a decade.
As with the Old Course, Tom Mackenzie and Martin Ebert are delivering carefully phased restoration work during the winter months, ensuring the course continues to evolve while preserving its distinctive heathland character.
