Bucket-List Heathland Courses in England

At a glance

Birdied's bucket-list heathland courses in England are Sunningdale, Swinley Forest, The Berkshire, St George's Hill, Wentworth, Walton Heath, Woking, Worplesdon and New Zealand: the sand belt that straddles the Surrey and Berkshire border just outside London. Heathland is golf on sand without the sea. Heather lines the fairways, pines stand behind the greens, the turf runs in a dry week, and a good drive still leaves you a decision rather than a wedge.

  1. Sunningdale Golf Club Sunningdale, Surrey, United Kingdom
  2. Swinley Forest Golf Club Ascot, Windsor and Maidenhead, United Kingdom the purest of the belt
  3. The Berkshire Golf Club Bracknell Forest, United Kingdom the Red and the Blue
  4. St George's Hill Golf Club Weybridge, Surrey, United Kingdom
  5. Wentworth Club Surrey, United Kingdom the West Course
  6. Walton Heath Golf Course Surrey, United Kingdom the Old and the New
  7. Woking Golf Club Woking, Surrey, United Kingdom
  8. Worplesdon Golf Club Woking, Surrey, United Kingdom
  9. New Zealand Golf Club Surrey, United Kingdom quiet, private, pines
