Walton Heath Golf Club in Surrey, England, is the host venue for the 2023 AIG Women’s Open.
Founded in 1903 and designed by Herbert Fowler, Walton Heath was once owned by the British newspaper News of the World. When Rupert Murdoch gained control of the daily, he had no interest in owning a golf club, so he sold it to the members.
Walton Heath hosted the 1981 Ryder Cup (won by the U.S.), the 2011 Senior Open Championship, the 2014 Palmer Cup (won by Europe) as well as five European Opens.
This will be the first Women’s Open, which started in 1976, at Walton Heath.
The venue will play as a par 72 and will measure 6,800 yards for the 2023 championship.
