Burhill Golf Club, South Course, Cobham. (1932 – WW2)
The original course designed by Willie Park jun. came into being in 1907 and is still in existence.
The additional “new” 18-hole course was designed by H S Colt in the early 1930s. This course continued until WW2 when it was turned over for food production.
The current “new course” came into being in the 1990s.
Below is a report on the remodelled old course and the new 18-hole course in April 1932.
