Why it matters

A two-course heathland destination

Sunningdale works as a destination in its own right because the Old and New provide two distinct 18-hole experiences from one clubhouse. The Old was designed by Willie Park Junior and opened in 1901. The New was designed by Harry Colt and opened in 1923, with later changes involving Tom Simpson, Colt and Morrison.

Geography note: Sunningdale is in Berkshire. TGG includes it in the wider Surrey & Berkshire heathland journey because the major inland courses across this corridor are naturally planned together.
Current visitor planning · checked 20 September 2026

2026 visitor availability is already full

Sunningdale’s official visitor information currently states that visitors are normally welcomed Monday to Thursday from May to October, but the 2026 visitor season is fully booked. The club says its 2027 booking diary will open from November 2026, with requests accepted for either the Old or New Course.

Old Course

Official visitor tees list the Old as par 70 from the yellow tees. The course opened in 1901 and remains the older of the club’s two heathland layouts.

New Course

Official visitor tees list the New as par 70 from the yellow tees. Harry Colt’s course opened in 1923 and remains the more rugged companion to the Old.

Plan ahead

Availability and visitor terms are highly date-sensitive. Confirm directly with the club before building travel, accommodation or transport around a requested tee time.
