Walthampton Golf Course

About the club

The course was designed by Bruce and David Weller (Weller Designs) of Farnham and the constructor was Mike Smith (M J Smith). Between them they have been involved with some of the leading names in golf course design and construction in Europe. The holes range from 100 to 519 yards.The big greens are built to USGA specification with several layers of drainage and a rich root zone providing an ideal growing medium for the carefully chosen grasses that deliver a fast, true putting surface throughout the year.The site itself is elevated and this, combined with gravel subsoil, means that the course drains freely and we rarely have to close, even after prolonged spells of heavy rain.Our tree policy is based on native species. Head greenkeeper Duncan Fox favours organic materials wherever possible and we have an abundance of wildlife. Deer are regularly seen on the course. Nesting boxes in surrounding trees and conservation areas around the course have encouraged a wide variety of birds including sparrow hawks, buzzards and a barn owl.
