New Course
at Walton Heath Golf Club
Surrey, England
Walton Heath New Course overview
The New Course at Walton Heath was opened for play in 1907 by Herbert Fowler as a 9-hole layout, which was later extended to 18 holes in 1913. Both the Old and New courses intertwine, so you tend to get the same remarkable inland/links feel across both of these courses.
The Course itself is a very challenging prospect. Although the first stretch of holes is relatively simple, the course progresses throughout the round to become more exciting, more demanding, and generally more fun. The back nine is longer than the first, with a stunning set of par 4s and 5s to enjoy throughout.
Walton Heath New Course really is a charming layout. A great match for the legendary Old Course and a more than suitable course to add to your Surrey golf tour.
Signature Holes
The 13th par-4 is a standout on the New Course. Measuring just over 400 yards, the hole demands accuracy off the tee to avoid bunkers and thick heather. The approach shot is equally testing, with a well-protected green that slopes deceptively.
Did You Know?
Despite being called the 'New' Course, it was laid out only three years after the Old Course. Today, it is regarded as a championship-quality layout in its own right and regularly used in conjunction with the Old Course for major events, including U.S. Open qualifying.
