About the course
Sunningdale Golf Club’s new and old courses together represent the finest 36 holes of golf in the British Isles. The same architect, Harry Colt, who carried out the alterations to the old Sunningdale course also designed the new course, which opened in 1923 to meet the ever-increasing demand for golf.
In the book Sunningdale Golf Club 1900-2000, author John Whitfield writes:
“Compared with the old course, the new course has undergone many more changes in its short life. In particular, the original holes 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 were much criticised – especially by older members – for the amount of climbing, which led to major changes in the mid-1930s.
These holes were located on the land to the right of the 10th hole on the old course and to the left of the 9th hole on the new course; some of their remains are still visible. Except for the 6th hole, now the 9th hole, all others were closed in 1934.
