Course Description
The Club was established in 1908 in an old deer park and Willie Park Junior, designer of Sunningdale Old Course, created a wonderful course in the undulating heath and parkland. Although it is short by today's championship standards at 6400 yards, it is not a course that will be overpowered and brain will reward you more than brawn.
