Walton Heath New Course sits on the same open Surrey heathland as its more famous neighbour, yet it stands on its own as a thoughtful and exacting test. Opened in 1907 and extended to 18 holes in 1913, the course reflects Herbert Fowler’s skill for using natural golfing ground rather than forcing the landscape. At 7,015 yards, it asks for control more than display, with heather, measured bunkering and firm-running turf shaping decisions from tee to green. The New shares the broad, uncluttered character of Walton Heath, but its own rhythm comes through in the way holes move across the property and expose subtle positional demands. It is best understood as a companion championship course of real substance rather than a secondary layout. For golfers drawn to classic Surrey heathland, it offers a pure expression of Fowler design and a round of genuine golfing merit throughout the property.
