Established in 1895, 9 hole Reigate Heath Golf Club was described by Peter Alliss as "a little gem". Full of charm and bursting with character, the course is set within a 120 acre Site of Special Scientific Interest, where heather and gorse-lined fairways are laid out on a natural heathland landscape around a beautiful old clubhouse and windmill.
The course is configured with nine holes and eighteen separate tees which are positioned so that they change the appearance of every hole to a greater or lesser extent. Sometimes the tee placements are shorter or longer on the back nine, other times they're located on the other side of the fairway, offering a different angle of play.

6. Reigate Heath GC, Surrey, England (Tom Dunn/1895)
Expert's take: Reigate Heath would be one of Bernard Darwin's little known "stars of sand and heather." Of course there is pine, birch, oak and wild bilbery here too. A venerable club formed in the late 19th century, this club feels a bit Dutch given the signature windmill adjacent to the clubhouse. The routing circularly takes you around a surprisingly rolling property which tests the short irons as well as a few longer clubs. Reigate is a period piece of what golf was at the turn of the century.
