Functions
Formerly known as Raynes Park Golf Club, Malden is a club with great history. It hosted an exhibition match between Abe Mitchell, Harry Vardon, Alex Herd and Ted Ray, four of the great professionals of the time, after moving to its present site in 1926.
The course was laid out in 1926 with the help of Herd, and measures 6,295 yards with a par of 71. The yardage is made all the more difficult by the natural brooks which meander through the course and dictate how certain holes are played.
There are two distinct nines; the first half is played on the low part of the course, involving play around the brooks while the top nine includes three par fives and encourages use of the driver.
