The area is home to some of England's most celebrated heathland courses, and Sunningdale Heath is a characterful addition to that tradition.

Hole Descriptions
Hole 1 (Par 3)
174m (Hexagon) / 118m (Square)
A confident opening shot over heather to a green framed by pines. Accuracy is essential because misses gather into natural rough and subtle run-offs.
Hole 2 (Par 3)
165m (Hexagon) / 119m (Square)
A slightly downhill hole that rewards good distance control. Anything short or wide can feed into heather or gentle slopes around the green.
Hole 3 (Par 3)
150m (Hexagon) / 95m (Square)
A narrow tree-lined tee shot with gorse and rhododendron adding pressure. The small green makes precise direction vital.
Hole 4 (Par 4)
300m (Hexagon) / 206m (Square)
A measured tee shot to a sloping fairway sets up a challenging approach. The green features subtle tiers that influence every recovery.
Hole 5 (Par 3)
140m (Hexagon) / 106m (Square)
Deceptively short with heather and bunkers tight to the target. Only a committed shot holds the green.
Hole 6 (Par 3)
194m (Hexagon) / 127m (Square)
An elevated tee provides a wide view of the hole. Anything long or short can run off the firm green surrounds.
Hole 7 (Par 3)
211m (Hexagon) / 137m (Square)
A long hole through trees with a small target. Precision and control are more important than power.
Hole 8 (Par 4)
248m (Hexagon) / 188m (Square)
A short strategic hole where the best tee position opens the narrow approach. Errant shots can drift into heather or sandy waste.
Hole 9 (Par 3)
130m (Hexagon) / 87m (Square)
A raised green sits above heather and slopes. Shots that miss long or short leave a difficult recovery onto the putting surface.
Hole 10 (Par 3)
164m (Hexagon) / 103m (Square)
A mid-length test into a green bordered by heather and gorse. Direction is important because misses quickly find natural trouble.
Hole 11 (Par 3)
219m (Hexagon) / 135m (Square)
A wide landing area narrows toward the green. Firm surfaces reward controlled shots that land in the right section.
Hole 12 (Par 3)
216m (Hexagon) / 154m (Square)
Strategic bunkers influence the ideal lines. Subtle green contours make long putts challenging and recoveries delicate.
Hole 13 (Par 4)
230m (Hexagon) / 191m (Square)
A short par 4 with right-to-left slopes that guide shots toward heather. The green complex demands accurate placement.
Hole 14 (Par 3)
166m (Hexagon) / 133m (Square)
A demanding longer hole where accuracy is essential. Heathland rough and firm edges make holding the green a real challenge.
Hole 15 (Par 3)
133m (Hexagon) / 111m (Square)
An uphill tee shot to a partially hidden green. Distance judgement is key because the target is difficult to see from the tee.
Hole 16 (Par 4)
267m (Hexagon) / 211m (Square)
A very short par 4 emphasising placement over power. The raised green is well protected and punishes imprecise approaches.
Hole 17 (Par 3)
127m (Hexagon) / 100m (Square)
A long par 3 requiring a well-controlled shot to reach an expansive green. Natural run-offs collect anything off-line.
Hole 18 (Par 3)
136m (Hexagon) / 90m (Square)
A tight finishing hole framed by trees. A precise final shot is needed to hold the small closing green.
