Worplesdon is one of the classic Surrey heathland courses, laid out in 1908 by J. F. Abercromby; the greens and bunkers were constructed by Willie Park Jnr.

The course remains much as it was set out by Abercromby. It is well known for hosting the Worplesdon Mixed Foursomes, won eight times by Worplesdon’s most famous member, Joyce Wethered. Her brother Roger tied for the Open Championship, only to lose in a play-off.
