West Course, Wentworth, England

Harry Colt designed Wentworth’s famed West Course in the 1920s. Some 80 years on it was felt some of the original shot values had been lost; that the course did not play as Colt intended it. This restoration project, completed between October 2005 and May 2006, addressed those issues.

It involved extensive re-bunkering and lengthening where appropriate. Ernie’s changes blend in well with the original Colt design and ensure that this great course remains a test for the best players in the world and is also still fun for amateurs. A second phase of minor alterations was completed in 2007.

Status: Changes instigated in 2005/06
