About the course
Apart from Berkshire Golf Club, Sunningdale, Wentworth and Walton Heath are the only clubs in England to boast two heathland golf courses in the English Top 100. It’s surprising that so few people know just how charming Berkshire really is.
The blue course is the more conventional and slightly shorter sister of the red course. The more standard four par 3s, three par 5s and eleven par 4s make up the configuration of this delightful par 71 course. In Bernard Darwin’s book Golf Between the Wars, he writes: “The second, Blue Course, which some people prefer, is slightly less ‘big’ but by no means second-rate. The country is essentially undulating and interesting and full of natural beauty… Berkshire courses have perhaps more charm and less austere grandeur than Walton Heath.”
