The 19th century house was originally the home for the brother-in-law of the Duke of Wellington and subsequently a Spanish Count.

Wentworth Golf Club is now one of the world’s finest golf and country clubs; home to three championship courses, a nine-hole course, tennis & health club, and an active social calendar and elegant contemporary dining in The Grill.
