Virginia Water is a commuter town in the Surrey section of the London urban area. It is home to the Wentworth Estate and the Wentworth Club, where the first Ryder Cup was played. The estate is situated in the Borough of Runnymede in Surrey, England, and the bodies of water stretching over the borders of Runnymede, Old Windsor and Sunninghill and Ascot. The town takes its name from the lake in the nearby Windsor Great Park. The lake's name was transferred from a previous stream, which was probably named after the 'Virgin Queen', Elizabeth I.
