Walton Heath Golf Club
HRH The Prince of Wales tees off, watched by James Braid
Our Club
Founded in 1903, Walton Heath has long been a place of distinction and quiet escape. In 1935, the Club appointed HRH the Prince of Wales as Captain, who became HM King Edward VIII the following year. Its first Professional, James Braid, won five Open Championships and served the Club for over forty-five years, while Winston Churchill was among those who found at Walton Heath a welcome haven from the pressures of public life.
WALTON HEATH HAS LONG BEEN A STAGE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF. IN THE 1950'S IT HOSTED THE News of the World Match Play Championship, THEN OFFERING A PRIZE FUND GREATER THAN The Open Championship. SINCE THEN THE CLUB HAS WELCOMED MANY OF THE GAME’S GREAT EVENTS, INCLUDING SEVERAL European OpenS, THE 1981 Ryder Cup, THE British Ladies Amateur Championship, Senior Open Championship, THE Palmer Cup, THE British Masters, AND MOST RECENTLY THE AIG Women's Open.
U.S. Open Qualifying is now in permanent residence at Walton, as is The Walton Heath Trophy (formerly the South of England Open Amateur Championship.)
OUR MEMBERSHIP IS AN ECLECTIC GROUP, UNITED BY LOVE OF THE GAME OF GOLF AND APPRECIATION OF ITS SURROUNDING VALUES.
Golf at Walton Heath is played under a vast Surrey sky across open heathland, where the natural landscape and elements shape every round. The courses reward imagination, adaptability and thoughtful shot-making — hallmarks of the game at its purest. Whatever the challenge on the course, a warm welcome always awaits in the clubhouse.
