A Sunningdale Symphony

There are few places in Surrey, or indeed the golfing world, that can rival the sheer splendour of Sunningdale’s Old Course in full summer bloom. Each hole is a creation of elegance, an artist's dream, a photographer’s treasure trove.

Purple heather bursts into life like brushstrokes from an impressionist canvas, fairways are manicured with crosshatched precision that would make Wembley stadium’s groundkeepers blush, and the dazzling white bunkers gleam under the sun, almost too brilliant for the naked eye.

This week that reverence is on full display as legends of the game converge on this affluent corner of Surrey for the ISPS Handa Men’s Senior Open. It’s a fitting stage, a course steeped in heritage, demanding precision golf and offering unrivalled beauty at every turn. For fans and players alike, there are few finer places to witness championship golf.
