An Complete Overview on Sunningdale

The Old Course stretches out over sandy soil and through wooded, heathery glades. It's the finest example of inland golf in Britain, and is a magnet for golfers the world over.

If St Andrews is the supreme example of links golf, then Sunningdale is the king of heath-land courses. This excellent layout is set in the heart of glorious wooded Berkshire.It winds its way through what was once wild and barren wasteland but is now a forest of pines, birches and oaks.

Enclosed among the trees, each hole is played as if in its own private world - the course dips and dives over the gently rolling countryside.

Heather and gorse flourish everywhere in the sour soil. The superb drainage of sandy soil creates conditions similar to the open coastal stretches of Scotland, with tough but smooth and springy turf that's ideal for golf.
