Wentworth Club (Edinburgh course): Located at the heart of the exclusive Wentworth Estate, this temple of British golf is now entirely member-only, since its acquisition in 2016 by a Chinese billionaire. Completing the triumvirate of excellent golf courses here at Wentworth, the Edinburgh was originally known as Wentworth's "South" course. It is a relative newcomer when compared to the "antiquity" of its older siblings, the East and West courses. The generation gap is not easily detected however, particularly with the Edinburgh also having been sculpted in a wonderfully mature wooded heathland environment.
Gently undulating terrain gives each hole its own distinctive appearance on the Edinburgh. Characteristic of this layout are several dog-legging holes that lead you through corridors of pine and birch trees, and onto fast and tricky greens. Maintenance and presentation are generally top-class, even though the demands of being a Wentworth course means relentless play, as much on the Edinburgh as on its siblings.
Younger maybe, but the Edinburgh course keeps good company with the older and better known jewels in the Wentworth crown.
Private club; guests may only play if hosted by a member.
Players generally walk this course.

The third course at Wentworth was to be known as the South course, but the name was changed in honour of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who conducted the opening ceremony. | The Edinburgh course has hosted several European Senior Tour events; see Top Tournaments at Wentworth Club (Edinburgh course.
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
