Sunningdale Golf Club
Sunningdale - New Course
Perhaps overshadowed at times by the Old Course, the New Course is built on more open ground on undulating, rolling property. There are fewer bunkers here but the course may be even more demanding off the tee due to narrow corridors and imposing forced carries. The par-3rd 5th hole is a classic example of the genius of Colt's design, Measuring 183 yards from the back tees, the green sits on a perch and is well guarded by bunkers, heather and steep slopes.

Sunningdale - Old Course
The Old Course, designed by Willie Park, is the more famous of the two courses, but only acquired the title of Old when the New Course, was built in the 1920`s. The Old course, is widely regarded as one of the finest inland courses in England, with 103 bunkers, with pine, birch and oak trees lining the heather culminating with the famous 18th hole and the final green below the ''Sunningdale Oak Tree," earning it comparisons to Augusta National, home of the Masters tournament.
