England's south east is packed with truly magnificent golf clubs, but there are few more revered and celebrated than Walton Heath. Two courses designed by Herbert Fowler are the backbone of the club, whose early years were overseen by the great designer James Braid, who served as professional until 1950.

Old Course
Walton Heath's Old Course ranks among England's top 10, and is a classic heathland layout. With a distinct links influence, the course has a rugged appearance, but through the heather are cut 18 remarkable holes which combine to formulate one of the country's most challenging championship tests. The award of the 1981 Ryder Cup matches is the most poignant indicator of the quality of the Old Course, when Nicklaus came ashore with a band of all-stars to crush a sorry European team.
European Tour events are among those to also have graced the heather strewn landscape of the Old Course, which is without doubt one of the best inland courses in the UK.
New Course
Walton Heath's New Course may not have the international renown of the Old, but it is a remarkable layout in its own right. Somewhat shorter than its illustrious neighbour, the New demands absolute accuracy to avoid the encroaching purple waves of heather. Fowler's second layout at Walton Heath is a real gem, and rounds off the day's experience at one of England's most revered golf clubs.
