Classic old heathland in great condition

Walton Heath is world renowned and even after all the rain we have had recently it was in spectacular condition. It is a proper championship course, very tough, especially if you are not finding fairways. But if you do, you can score, depending on where they put the pins - there are some severely sloping parts of the greens. I played the Old Course, which I had previously found very difficult, but it is a course that you get to know the more you play it. Well worth playing if you get the chance.

Golfing Heaven

I am an 18 handicap in my 60's so I have reached the stage of life when I treat new golfing experiences with excitement and trepidation in equal amounts. I need not have worried. After an horrendously wet winter I was transported to high summer golfing conditions with the added twist of the sort of features that I have never really seen before in all my years of optimistic swinging. Coffin bunkers, stealthily placed on the edges of raised greens. More conventional bunkers, but laced with heather tops. It is unusual, perhaps proposterous, to encounter such a double hazard, but, hey, you are out to have fun so should only smile! I have not played two rounds in a day for many years but I survived and to my surprise broke 100 on both courses. The club offers tremendous value for money as a full society catered package, most probably the best in this renowned golfing area. They fly under the golfing radar these days, no silly deals or frothy social media for them, but as soon as you enter the unassuming clubhouse you realise you are somewhere truly special.

Classic heathland, stunning challenge

It is with good reaason that Walton Heath is so highly regarded. The New course is a bit more playable than the Old, more foregiving off the tee and with fewer fairway bunkers. But it is still a real challenge and you must play from the fairway as the heather is penal. Beautiful turf, large subtle-breaking greens. A real pleasure to play.

Company day and excellent value for me but the review is based on paying advertised Green fees. The 2 courses are on the same apparently featureless area of land. However, based on my benchmark test of hole recollection, I recalled each of the 36 holes the evening after the event. The sun was shining and I played reasonably well but this aside the venue is superb. Course presented to a very high standard and greens were true but frighteningly fast. Not cheap but if you're looking for something special this is certainly worth considering.

I had a great time at Walton Heath. The staff were friendly and the course was in great condition. It's a classic heathland course and it's definitely one of the best in the country. I'll definitely be back!

Walton Heath New Course

Played on a very cold frosty day. The course stood up very well but the heather is a real problem. Not very long but very difficult to find a ball. Needs reducing. The course is flattish, quite interesting and very good greens. Club house excellent and friendly staff and good parking.

Played here on a special Society celebration occasion. It is clear to see from the grounds, the club house and all areas of the course why it is a Championship course, with rich history. I found the greens a bit fast for my liking, but certainly a very good gorse heathland course. I personally wouldn't pay the typical green fees on another occasion.

PM Walton Heath

Facilities at this club are second to none and service food and drink were excellent. The Old course was a Championship course and priced accordingly, however it was dominated by Heather which was everywhere and golfers in our group all found it at one stage or another. Apart from that it was pretty ordinary if I am honest and was due entirely to the Heather a low handicappers course. We as a group got a deal but in general it is overpriced, if you are more than a 9 handicap I would think twice, for a number of us it is not a course we will revisit.

Greens and tees excellent

A real sense of tradition being able to play as a society. The whole course and club grounds excellently presented. Greens very fast which takes some getting used to. The carvery afterwards great quality.

Classic heathland - real championship test

The Old at Walton Heath is everything you expect from a classic English heathland course that has hosted the top champtionship events in years past. It is wonderfully conditioned with lovely fairways and true-running greens. But it has real teeth, especially in the 2 club wind that followed us round. Narrow fairways flanked by tough heather and long, whispy rough maked straight driving essential. It is hard on the eye - being so flat and with little definition it is hard to figure out how far the landing areas are off the tee. You probably need to play a few times to understand the course well. Hopefully I will get a chance to go back.

Give it a few weeks

The course has just been hollow tyned and top dressed and there is a lot of pipe works going on at the moment so I'd give it a few weeks if you want it in better condition. It was still a lot of fun to play around, despite the 4 seasons in one day and howling wind!

strategic golf, wide fairways

Walton Heath is a well thought out golf course. Even though the tee shots are quite generous, the bunkering in such that you need to be careful not to find them. The tee boxes and fairways had suffered due to the lack of rain. The greens were quite receptive and putted fast and true. Par 3's were quite a challenge due to their length off the men's tournament tees. I found the topography a bit monotonous, being basically a flat layout.
