St Georges Hill: 2026 Access and Booking Update
St George's Hill is one of Harry Colt's finest inland designs, a tumbling Surrey heathland course set among the pines and mansions of Weybridge. Here is where St George's Hill Golf Club stands in 2026, how visitor access and booking work, and how to play it.
The news: Colt heathland at its most dramatic
St George's Hill Golf Club sits in Weybridge, in the heart of the Surrey heathland belt, and is regularly named among the very best inland courses in Britain. It heads into 2026 with its reputation secure as one of Harry Colt's greatest designs, opened in 1913 and still revered for its dramatic elevation changes and classic heathland character.
What sets it apart from its celebrated neighbours is the topography. The land tumbles and climbs more than most heathland sites, giving Colt the canvas for bold, downhill tee shots and uphill approaches. For 2026 it remains a course that students of design seek out, a 27 hole complex where the headline eighteen is a genuine bucket list round.
The course itself
The main championship combination, the Red and Blue nines, plays as a par 70 of around 6,500 yards, with a third Green nine completing the 27 hole layout. The numbers undersell the test, because the interest lies in the elevation, the heather lined corridors and the strategic bunkering that make precise placement essential off the tee and into the greens.
Colt routed the holes to use every fold of the ground, and the firm, fast heathland turf rewards the player who flights the ball and thinks about angles. The combination of design pedigree, dramatic terrain and immaculate conditioning is what keeps St George's Hill in every serious ranking of British inland golf.
How to play it in 2026
St George's Hill is a private members club, but it does open to visitors on selected weekdays, so the practical points for 2026 are clear. Book a visitor tee time well in advance, be ready to provide a handicap, and plan around weekday access, as weekend play is generally reserved for members and their guests.
On timing, the Surrey heathland is at its best from late spring through early autumn, when the turf runs firm and the course shows its true character, though it drains well into the shoulders. Visitor green fees here are at the upper end for English heathland and should be treated as indicative for the 2026 season, confirmed directly with the club before booking.
Our take
Our take is that St George's Hill is the most dramatic of the great Surrey heathland courses and a must for anyone touring the belt, because its elevation gives Colt's strategy a theatre the flatter sites cannot match. It is a course that feels both grand and intimate, and it lives up to its billing.
If you are building a 2026 Surrey and Berkshire heathland trip, pair St George's Hill with its famous neighbours for a cluster that is hard to beat anywhere inland. Book a weekday visitor time well ahead, carry your handicap details, travel in the firm summer months, and savour the downhill tee shots that define the round.
