Golf Course overview
The course at St George’s Hill is a masterpiece of strategic design and natural harmony. Set across dramatic, undulating heathland, Colt’s original layout integrates heather, pine, and silver birch trees to create a landscape that is as challenging as it is breathtaking. The routing consists of 27 holes: the Red and Blue nines form the main championship course, while the Green nine offers an equally engaging loop.
Colt’s design philosophy is evident in the fast-running fairways, intelligently placed bunkers, and sloping greens that demand careful shot-making. Elevation changes throughout the course offer stunning vistas and constant variety, enhancing the experience at every turn. Despite over a century of history, the course has remained true to its original routing, with thoughtful refinements preserving both its character and playability.
Signature Holes
St George’s Hill features numerous standout holes, each with its own distinct character. Among them, the par-3 8th on the Red nine is often regarded as the signature hole. Played from a dramatically elevated tee to a green perched on a ridge, it presents a visually striking and technically demanding challenge.
Meanwhile, the par-4 5th on the Blue nine, framed by towering pines and guarded by deep bunkers, showcases the course’s classic heathland character and the architect’s mastery of terrain.
Together, these holes reflect the essence of St George’s Hill: strategic, scenic, and timeless.
