Golf Courses

Sunningdale Golf Club Location: Sunningdale | No. of courses: 2 Sunningdale Golf Club is home to two exceptional heathland courses: the Old Course and the New Course, both consistently ranked among the finest in the UK.

The Old Course, designed by Willie Park Jr. in 1901, is a par-70 layout widely regarded as a classic heathland masterpiece. Regularly placed in the Top 10 courses in the UK & Ireland and within the Top 50 in the World, it features rolling fairways framed by pine, heather, and gorse, all set across beautifully natural terrain.

The New Course, crafted by Harry Colt in 1923, also plays to a par of 70 and is considered slightly more undulating and challenging than its older sibling. Ranked within the UK & Ireland Top 30, the New Course is noted for its bold architecture, technical shot-making demands, and Colt’s masterful use of the land’s natural elevation.

Swinley Forest Golf Club Location: Ascot | No. of courses: 1 Swinley Forest Golf Club, designed by Harry Colt in 1909, is a par-68 heathland course often celebrated as one of his finest creations. Known for its elegance and simplicity, the layout offers instead a compelling mix of challenging par 3s and strategic par 4s. The course winds through picturesque woodland and heather, with an emphasis on natural beauty and refined shot-making.

With its minimalist clubhouse and understated, exclusive atmosphere, Swinley Forest remains remarkably true to its original character. Often referred to as the “most charming course in England,” it consistently ranks among the Top 20 courses in the UK & Ireland and holds a place in the Top 100 in the World, treasured for its quiet sophistication and pure golfing experience.
