Wentworth Club's West Course is an enduring classic. The challenge is a varied one; fairways turn both ways and there is a wonderful flow to the course, with pleasing elevation changes and a variety of different length par-3s, par-4s and par-5s.
Very few courses can boast a tournament history on a par with Wentworth’s West Course. It hosted the 1953 Ryder Cup and then in 1956 the Canada Cup, the forerunner to today’s World Cup of Golf.
The West Course is positioned in a glorious natural settings for golf with a stretch of heathland surrounded by woodland of pine, oak and birch; the vibrant rhododendrons adding a splash of colour. The heavily wooded landscape has aesthetic and strategic benefits in the sense that it is both easy on the eye and ideal for creating well-defined hole routings.
Architect Harry Colt took full advantage of both of these qualities and created an enduring classic. The challenge is a varied one; fairways turn both ways and there is a wonderful flow to the course, with pleasing elevation changes and a variety of different length par-3s, par-4s and par-5s.
