West Byfleet Golf Club

West Byfleet Golf Club was formed in 1922, but the course itself was designed and laid out in 1906 by Cuthbert Butchart, who was a well known professional of the time and whose other projects included West Hill, Hunstanton, Royal County Down, Hampstead and Highgate. The comparatively few alterations that have been made to Butchart’s original design have been carried out by celebrated course architects such as James Braid, John Abercromby, John Morrison – a partner of Harry Colt – and Neil Coles. The heathland course is mostly level with just the odd gradient to add some variation.
