Wentworth Club (West)

A star of TV and better on the big screen - like Augusta is a course most UK golfers could play in their head before they ever set foot on the premises.

The West Course at Wentworth Golf Club, located in Virginia Water, Surrey, is one of the most prestigious and well-known golf courses in the world.

This was it; with a tingle, I stood on the first tee of one of golf’s most famous courses to complete one of the missions I had given myself in 2020.

Whilst the venue and facilities are world-class, this is a great heathland golf course in its own right.

At no point in the round is there an easy hole.

When invited to play the west course i was there like a shot, the whole arrival into Wentworth is great fun and feels special and the thrill of hitting in the driving range, to putting then to the first tee was amazing and hitting a great first shot helped.

While it might not top my list of courses in Surrey, it's undeniably a commendable course.

The West Course at Wentworth has suffered a lot of adverse publicity since a series of well-meaning renovations starting in 2009, but make no mistake this is a very special place to play the game.

Was privileged to get an invite to play the West Course which could simply not be turned down.

Wentworth West gets a bad rap from so many visitors, regularly hear people say the other 2 courses are better.
