Overview

Walton Heath is one of the world’s most highly regarded golf clubs, famous for its rich golfing and political history and the quality of its two exceptionally challenging heathland layouts, described by Jack Nicklaus as “wonderfully pure.” Both courses feature in the UK and Ireland’s Top 50 rankings. The Old has earned its place in the World’s Top 100 every year since the inception of the rankings in 1938. The Club was founded in 1903 although Walton’s first Captain, HRH the Prince of Wales, was not appointed until 1935. A year later the Captain became King Edward VIII. The club's first Professional, James Braid, won five Opens and stayed for some forty-five years, while Winston Churchill played regularly at club and regarded it as a sanctuary away from office.
