Sunningdale Golf Club - Old Course
Sunningdale is technically in Berkshire, but in terms of golf, it is classified as Surrey because it hosts the Surrey Amateur Championship and its members compete for Surrey rather than Berkshire in amateur events. The Old and New Golf Courses at Sunningdale are regarded as some of the best inland courses in the world, having hosted the likes of Harry Colt, Bobby Jones, and, most recently, Stephen Dodd. The heathland courses are a stern test of golf that meanders through magnificent pine and oak trees, leaving a lasting impression on every player who is fortunate enough to spend a day here.
While there are numerous memorable holes at Sunningdale, the 10th hole on The Old is undoubtedly the most well-known. With an elevated stance to a sloping fairway with bunkers poised to snare any shot left or right of the short stuff, the drive is one of the best in golf. A trip to the world-famous halfway hut with its sausage sandwich, possibly one of the most talked about snacks in golf, is the prize for everyone walking down this hole.
