Sunningdale Golf Club features with two championship courses, the Old & New Courses each with individual charm. Laid over heathland, the courses wind their way intricately through heather, gorse and pine.
The Old Course features a wide variety of holes, perfectly illustrated by the opening four; a reachable par five, a demanding par four, a driveable par four and a fantastic uphill par three. The course continues to perfectly unravel to present something different with each turn.
Since opening in 1901 Sunningdale’s Old Course has hosted countless top flight events including the inaugural Professional Matchplay Championship in 1903, The Women’s British Open, The Walker Cup and of course The Open’s first sectional qualifying in 1926 when Bobby Jones shot an “incredible and indecent” 66!
Sunningdale is located approximately 30 miles (45km) west of central London and 10 miles (15km) south west of Heathrow. |
