Opened in 1901, Willie Park Jr’s Old Course at Sunningdale is a masterclass in heathland design, laid over sandy ground among pine, birch and heather, with a championship record to match its standing.
Sunningdale Old Course opened in 1901 and remains Willie Park Jr’s defining inland design. Set on sandy Berkshire ground, the course moves with natural ease through pines, silver birch and broad swathes of heather, asking for thought rather than force. Its modest yardage is no concession; angles into greens, shifting lines from the tee and firm-running surfaces keep the challenge exacting from start to finish. The Old has long been trusted for championship golf, staging the Walker Cup, European Open, Women’s British Open, Senior Open, Curtis Cup, Brabazon and Final Qualifying for The Open. That record speaks to its balance of beauty and competitive substance. For the visiting golfer, Sunningdale offers a round of rare composure: strategic, impeccably presented and unmistakably rooted in the golden age of heathland architecture, yet still fully relevant to the modern game for players who value placement, patience and intelligent design over raw power alone.
