 SUNNINGDALE GOLF CLUB, LONDON  |
|---|
 | The crown jewels of English golf circle the city of London, and the jewel in the crown is the Old Course at Sunningdale Golf Club, almost universally recognized as the finest inland golf course in the UK. This is the supreme example of the “heathland” style courses so unique to this part of England, in a wonderfully picturesque setting, with one of the best-looking clubhouses in all of golf standing watch. This historic course is best remembered as the site of Bobby Jones’ most famous round of golf, his “perfect” 66 consisting of a 33 on the front, 33 on the back, while taking 33 full shots and 33 putts, in Open Championship qualifying on his way to eventual victory. Truly world-class, Sunningdale Old is in our opinion one of the top 10 courses on Earth. But don’t stop at the 18th green of the Old though. Following lunch in the classic clubhouse, play the New Course at Sunningdale as well, also ranked in the British Isles’ top 50 courses, one that stimulates much debate as to which of the two courses at Sunningdale is actually the greatest. Only slightly less stirring, but perhaps more difficult than the Old, the New Course completes one of the best days that can be had in all of golf. Plus, it gives you a chance to stop twice at the halfway house, located at the crossroads of the two courses, one of the best ever! | |
