London, England
Discover the very best of the English capital and play Harry Colt’s iconic Sunningdale.
Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral and the British Museum – London’s incredible history can be found at every turn when you visit England’s ‘Big Smoke’. But to get the real inside tour – down cobbled side streets, into the lesser-known but equally historic nooks and crannies of one of the world’s most famous cities, you need to take a guided tour. And not just any guided tour, on this experience your guides are historians and architects, lawyers and doctors, who know the streets unlike anyone else, and are uniquely placed to bring the city’s endless stories to life. When you’ve explored the likes of Borough Market, Notting Hill and several of its famed pubs, and then been captivated by the galleries and exhibitions, your golf is equally mesmerising – and historic. London remains almost a hidden gem of the golfing world, with so many great courses nearby including Swinley Forest, Walton Heath (Old), The Berkshire (Red & Blue), Hankley Common and the Three Ws (Woking, Worplesdon, West Hill).
But of all the quality courses on the doorstep of the English capital, none are more famed than Sunningdale’s Old Course, the country’s very best inland course and one of the most renowned of its kind anywhere in the world. The reason behind its fame, is none other than Harry Colt, who was the club’s first secretary and captain, and redesigned the Old Course to make it rival its sea-hugging peers, with links golf the only game to be given credibility at the time. After Sunningdale, Colt would head to America to work on Pine Valley before returning to create the New Course. Colt would create 115 courses across the world, with Sunningdale’s courses essential rounds for every serious golfer.
