Worplesdon Golf Club

Location and setting

The Worplesdon Golf Club is located in Great Britain, in Surrey. This club owes its large attendance to the tranquility of its moor-type course. The Worplesdon course is very well maintained and is renowned as an excellent test of golfing skill, with fair playing conditions thanks to the protection provided by its heather, bunkers and surrounding trees. The welcome here is warm and the Worplesdon course is an ideal location for winter golf, due to the excellent drainage resulting from being built on predominantly sandy soil.

Career

Built primarily on Bagshot sand, Worplesdon's 18-hole course drains well in winter and turns into an indoor links course in summer. The "signature hole" is 10, which is especially attractive when the rhododendrons are in bloom. But the visitor should not be discouraged by the bodies of water on the course: Bridley Pond is the only major water obstacle on the course. The rest of the holes mostly wander through wooded moorland.

History

Worplesdon is one of Surrey's classic moorland courses, laid out in 1908 by JF Abercromby; the greens and bunkers were built by Willie Park Junior. The greens are excellent and among the best in Surrey. Worplesdon is known in the golfing world as the host club of the Worplesdon Mixed Foursomes. From its inception in 1921 until the 1933s, this tournament attracted the best amateur golfers in the country. It has been won eight times by Worplesdon's most famous member, Joyce Wethered. His Highness the Prince of Wales captained the club in XNUMX.
