The idea for a third golf course at Wentworth was conceived in the late 1970s, but it wasn’t until 1990 that the Edinburgh Course opened for play. It was designed by coach and former Ryder Cup player and Captain John Jacobs.

A wide selection of teeing areas ensures that golfers can play the course at a length which suits them. Generous landing areas off the tee are a boon to the average player and help give them the freedom to hit their drivers - one of golf’s simple pleasures!

Longer hitters will find that strategically located pines encroach away from the main body of trees and into the confines of the fairways, often obstructing the line of play for anyone who strays too far from the optimum line. And a good variety of doglegs ensures that one must always pay heed to the ideal shape of shot required. In terms of approach play, the degree of difficulty is very much dependent on the choice of the Courses Manager.

Large greens offer the opportunity of straightforward pin locations to appeal to the average player, but the clever hazard placement also makes it possible to ‘tuck’ pins into tougher, more closely-guarded areas to make the more accomplished players work hard to earn their birdie chances.
