St. George’s Hill Golf Club

H.S. Colt’s St. George’s Hill Golf Club is widely regarded as one of the finest heathland courses in the world. Opened in 1913, it was one of the first residential golf projects and remains a jewel of design more than a century later. The Blue and Red nines form the main 18-hole course, which winds through towering fir trees, patches of heather, and Colt’s famously well-placed bunkers. While some hazards have softened over time, their strategic positioning still challenges modern players. The course’s natural beauty and timeless design make it a favorite for those who appreciate Colt’s genius.
