West Hill was designed by Cuthbert Butchart, the club's first professional and the man who designed West Byfleet, also in Surrey, and Royal County Down, one of the world's finest links golf courses. West Hill has remained largely unaltered in layout but much work has gone into improving the quality of the fabric and the presentation. Many changes to the irrigation system and bunker positioning have taken place in recent years and, today, it is considered one of the best maintained golf courses in the country. The 15th is, quite simply, one of the finest short holes in the south of England, playing 212 yards from the tips to an undulating green.
