Sunningdale’s Old Course, which opened in 1901, was laid out by Willie Park Jnr. It is pure enchantment that characterizes Sunningdale Old. Virtually every hole is played in splendid and beautiful isolation, and in harmony with nature. There is subtlety here, a measure of drama, and a wealth of that one indispensable ingredient, pleasurable excitement. No wonder it may be the most beloved inland course in the British Isles.
All that being said, there are those who like the New Course, which opened in 1923, at least as wel. The New course is perhaps a bit more rugged than the Old one, a bit more masculine, if you will.
Sunningdale’s Old Course was designed by twice winner of The Open Championship, Willie Park Junior and opened in 1901. The land on which it was constructed belonged to St. John’s College, Cambridge and mainly consisted of heather, gorse and pine trees. Credit to Park Jnr’s design, The Old Course has stood the test of time, and even now with the adv…

Sunningdale’s New Course was designed by renowned Architect and former Secretary, Harry Colt and first opened in 1923. The New Course is considered to be the more rugged, with less bunkering and tree lining that its older sibling. Narrow winding fairways bordered by penal heather, act as corridors to the small and often raised greens. Compared wit…

Une excellente découverte. Arrivée par le pro shop avec une gamme immense aux couleurs du Club, puis passage par le Club-House, accueillis très aimablement au bar/restaurant pour un café. Les vestiaires sont très bien également, et l’ensemble du Club-House respire l’histoire du golf. Enfin le parcours, manucuré, très bien dessiné pas forcément très long mais technique et …

Once you are a golfer, all travel becomes Golf Travel. There are some places that are the reason to become a golf pilgrim. Sunningdale is one of those hallowed locations that is a must-visit. The New Course is a Harry Colt creation that is at least equal to Wilie Park's Old. He makes fantastic use of the undulating Heathland to take you on a journey of infinite variety. T…

Linn Grants favoritbana klättrar väldigt högt även på min lista. En gammal klubb där allting känns utstuderat och fintrimmat till perfektion.
För mig finns det inget att anmärka på här; jag hade bara en helt fantastisk dag.
Layouten på gamla banan är kul och varierande samtidigt som det finns något rofyllt över att spela genom den lila ljungen och de höga barrträden, be…

Is there a better venue than Sunningdale to play golf anywhere in the world? If so, I would love to play there.
We had the very good fortune to play 36 holes on the Old and New at the height of summer.
There is a sense of place as soon as you arrive. And even though the tourist bus was parked up, the course was not as overwhelmed by visitors as might be seen in Irelan…

Where do I start? First of all I'm a great fan of Harry Colt courses, the one I play the most is De Pan in Utrecht, The Netherlands that course is squeezed into about 50 hectares, the courses at Sunningdale absolutely not. Maybe this is one of the most impressive features of this club, the huge amount of space and quiteness these courses are situated. The design of the Ne…

I wanted to play Sunningdale for a long time and today I could play both courses.
I only can say than waiting so long was really worth.
One of the best places I’ve been playing golf.
Particullary in love with the Old Course, but The New is also sooooo good and maybe more challenging.
Good firm greens in a good speed, perfectly shaped bunkers... nothing bad to say abou…

Sunningdale, or should we say 'Stunningdale' is one of a kind. I played a lot of heathland courses in the Surrey region, but Sunnindale is top of the list. Every hole is an aesthetic feast. Great maintenance, lay-out and facilities. Just magical!

6e dag van onze golftrip. En wat een dag. Het wordt steeds moeilijker om golfbanen te ranken naarmate je er meer speelt (hoe vergelijk je wat) maar dit was absoluut het hoogtepunt van onze golfreis. Ja Sunningdale is niet goedkoop en ongetwijfeld zit er in de greenfeeprijs een hoop naam, traditie en exclusiviteit verwerkt. Ze hebben 2 golfbanen waar naar mijn mening zeker…
