The Architect
Legendary American architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. — the father of environmental golf course design — laid out the 224-acre site, completed in 1991. His intent: preserve the lush natural beauty of the Surrey surroundings, and combine it with strategic variety to reward all players.
The result is three loops of nine, played in any combination — never quite the same round twice.
