Royal Wimbledon Golf Club
Golf was played at Royal Wimbledon from 1864 on a Tom Dunn designed course in 1882, but Willie Park laid out the new Royal Wimbledon at its present location in 1907, although Harry Colt’s influence came later. The course at an old style members club is a tough test with narrow, undulating, tree-lined fairways over the 6,348-yard par 70 length. Feature holes include the 265-yard par-four sixth, where Edward VII once holed in one, the slight dogleg 12th spanning 452 yards from the back tees. A long drive is followed by a lengthy approach to a plateau green. The 11th, 13th and 16th emphasise the difficulty of the back nine.
