Wentworth - West Course
There are few more glorious natural settings for golf than this 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.
Hole 1
Long opening hole which requires a good accurate tee shot between the fairway bunkers, allowing an iron shot over the deep valley to a green protected by deep bunkers at the front and on both sides. The wind, which swirls around the green above the trees, is often not felt from the fairway.The green has many subtle borrows.
