Sunningdale Golf Club

Wentworth Club is a private golf course in Virginia Water, Surrey, on the southwestern outskirts of London, not far from Windsor Castle. This course designed by Harry Colt in 1926 and modernized by Ernie Els in 2006 hosts prestigious European tournaments such as the Ryder Cup. It demands constant attention. A great golf test!

It is only possible to play at Wentworth if you are a member or if you are invited by a member.

The two main courses in Wentworth, although both the work of Harry S. Colt, are as different from each other as those in Berkshire. Where the "West Course" has captured the attention and hosted many tournaments for five decades, the "East Course" is shorter but more technical and just as captivating.
The West Course
Golfers used to call Wentworth's West Course the Burma Road because of its steep slopes and extraordinary length. Harry S. Colt had designed the course with the best players in the world in mind, and it was for a time the longest and most difficult course in English golf.

After WWII, the “West Course” hosted the 1953 Ryder Cup, where Peter Allis and Bernard Hunt came close to leading Ireland and Great Britain to a stunning victory. Sam Snead and Ben Hogan are came for the Canada Cup three years later In the 60s the course hosted the first World Matches and saw Nicklaus, Palmer and Player at the top of their game.

Thanks to renovations carried out by Ernie Els, the "West Course" has adapted to the world of golf today while retaining its original spirit.
The East Course
The “East Course” is the first course at Wentworth, and the key here is precision at the tee and then the right choice of club for the attack on the green. The first nine holes are rich in par 3 and par 4. Holes get progressively longer on the return.The 11th dog-leg hole deserves special mention and demands a perfect tee-shot.
The "Edinburgh Course"
The idea of ​​a third golf course at Wentworth was first considered in the late 1970s, but it was not until 1990 that the Edinburgh course was opened to golfers. It was designed by coach and former Ryder Cup player and captain John Jacobs in consultation with Gary Player, nine titles in Major, and Bernard Gallacher, then a club professional.

Together they paid homage to Harry Colt's philosophy that a course should test the best golf courses in the world, but also be playable and enjoyed by amateur golfers. The Edinburgh course has proven to be true to these principles dear to Colt.

A wide choice of teeing tees allow golfers to play the course at any length that suits them, while wide and generous fairways provide the freedom to hit the driver, one of the basic pleasures of golf. The strategically placed pines and doglegs spice up the course.

Since the first shot was played in the historic 1926 match hailed as the precursor to the Ryder Cup, Wentworth's three courses have each hosted some of the most prestigious trophies in the world; including The Daks Tournament, British Masters, Women's British Open, The Canada Cup, The World Match Play and of course, the highly anticipated BMW PGA Championships.
