This healthland-style course was designed by the noted Harry S. Colt and opened in 1913, at which time Bernard Darwin described it as "sandy and heathery, long and difficult and costing enormous sums of money and laid out with the most consummate ingenuity by the most famous architect."

Visitors and societies are welcome; the standard visitor walking rate is £55, although Surrey county cardholders pay £35. Other discounts and packages are available from the club's web site.
