A heathland course in Surrey, an hour southwest of London, England, it was originally designed by Tom Dunn in 1893 with revisions by Stuart Paton and John Low in the early 1900's. It's a short course at 6,400 yards, and it's full of tricks, but fun to play. There is not a bad hole on the course. The course only has 47 bunkers, but are placed strategically, and there's light heather through along the fairway boundaries. A very enjoyable course, and worth our drive down from London.

I played Woking today. I teed off at 3:30 PM and finished 32 holes before dark. In that time, I saw a truly remarkable golf course. The course is full of charm, fun, challenge and strategy from beginning to end. The centerline bunkers and the rail line at the 4th make for a highly strategic golf hole. The back-to-back long fours at 8 and 9 are tremendous. The par three 2nd is a grand long par three. The 14th green on the clubhouse terrace is quirky and brilliant. There is not a single uninteresting green on the golf course. Most of the greens have tons of movement. Greens at 12, 13, 15, and 18 probably would have been blown up by less-enlightened clubs. One is guaranteed to face a handful of rolly-poly putts through the course of a round at Woking. Even the subtle greens like the 1st, 4th and the 17th are standouts. The greens are also great in the fact that they dictate play back to the tee. Furthermore, the golfer will face every type of short game shot at Woking. I hit flops, pitches, bump and runs, Texas wedges, and bunker shots of all shapes and sizes. The greens at Woking put it well ahead of any heathland course on my trip. I much preferred Woking to courses like Swinley Forest and Addington that, while being great courses tee to green, lacked something around the greens.
