Conveniently located less than thirty miles west of London, Sunningdale Golf Club is blessed with two magnificent golf courses, laid out on the most glorious piece of heathland imaginable. The Old Course at Sunningdale, originally designed by former Open Champion, Willie Park in 1901, is the more famous of the two but only gained the name "Old" when the New Course, designed by Harry Colt, was opened in 1923. Both courses wind their way through a sea of heather, gorse and pine, while each hole genuinely boasts its own unique character and charm. 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 at least as well…The New is perhaps a bit more rugged than the Old, a bit more masculine, if you will...... This is rich and handsome and challenging golf, Harry Colt in top form
