The prestigious Walton Heath Golf Club is host to this year’s AIG Women’s Open. A venue peppered with a rich history and steeped in tradition especially when it comes to women’s golf. With esteemed club President Jill Thornhill, winner of the 1983 Women’s Amateur Championships and the 1985 AIG Women’s Open Smyth Salver, the club has plenty to shout about. Walton Heath hosted the Ryder Cup back in 1981 and has played a part in many grand tournaments. This year will see one of the biggest and most groundbreaking yet.
The layout at the AIG Women’s Open will be a mixture of some of the best holes from both the Old and New courses. Players will compete on the Old Course until the 12th, then they will sample the New Course for 2 holes (12 & 13) before returning to the Old.
