Sunningdale 2024

[Orikoru]

Just had a look on their site on a certain page, and came up with this:

Sunningdale Golf Society

Welcome to Sunningdale Golf Club. "All that one would hope to find in the ideal golf club is in abundance at Sunningdale." Sir Michael Bonallack.

www.sunningdalegolfclub.co.uk

It’s £400 for breakfast, 36 holes, carvery lunch and afternoon tea at the end.

That’s without speaking to GM Forum legends, tapping into our wider network, greasing a few palms…

I may be interested, as long as it's not like £400 now.

Nailed it, haha.

For reference everyone, the last Sunningdale meet was in S2019, organised by @Lincoln Quaker and cost £265 for two rounds, breakfast, carvery lunch and afternoon tea.

Sunningdale Old and New 23rd and 24th July 2019

Dates now confirmed........................... The package. Sunningdale golf club, a true forum favourite from the last visit, both courses are just superb. So Arrive Tuesday 23rd July 2019 From 7.30am Arrival and Welcome at Clubhouse Buffet breakfast offering Bacon Rolls, Danish Pastries...

This was against a rack rate of £350 at the time for 36 holes golf only. So the £400 in the link above vs £525 current green fees compares similarly: the ratio is 1.32 for both!

Thus this is the sort of price we might expect to pay.

Thoughts everyone?

This from the Sunningdale website - looks a lot more expensive now https://www.sunningdalegolfclub.co.uk/tee_times

that's not the group rates

If you've never played there and you and can afford it, it's a must! But until they offer a firm price, it's still just chatter.

I've just been invited to Swinley next year for about half that. It might be that there's some members involved, but not sure.

Cheaper options are available

Do tell! Keen to do more GM days!

Most places in the rest of the world are cheaper than Sunningdale!
Most are also not as good though

 

[dufferman]

I'd be keen to hear costs on this...

Same.

I've tried standing on one leg and swinging with one arm, but I just can't get the knack.

A look back through time shows that this was a popular GM Forum outing — and well-priced too with breakfast, lunch and 36 for not much more than £200!

Obviously it’d be more now, but surely it’s time to do another big meet like olden times.

So who might be interested for such a day in summer?

So, are you looking g to arrange something or is the arrange a game now just a place for a wish list?

Glad you asked! Just in the stage of fishing to gauge interest.

Now we have some, I need some help. I can inbox you with a couple of things. Hope that’s ok?

Ditto anyone else who used to organise these — or still does. If you’re willing to help, please let me know and we’ll chat…

 

[Junior]

Still the best days golf you can have in the uk imo. I’m interested!

 

[PhilTheFragger]

I think there will be plenty of interest

So approach Sunningdale with a date
Or 2 days back to back if you want to play both courses.
36 in one day is heavy for us oldies and many buggies.

Limit the numbers to say 40
Include food
Agree a total price ( Mention Golf Monthly Forum)
Divide that price by 40 = price per head , get options for both days or if 36 in 1 day, options for people playing 1 course.

Now come back to the forum and tell us what you have got

Get names , contact details and a chunky deposit (min 25%) straight away, no exceptions, create a waiting list, no returned deposits unless a replacement is found.

Find out when Sunningdale require payment, get all monies in 2 weeks before that date. If you want to do a stage payment, that’s up to you, it’s your train set.

You do not want to be chasing payments on the day.
Can’t pay = Doesn’t play, be firm, you need to enjoy the day too

That’s about it,

I’m far too busy to do it myself, but more than happy to help and I’ll be there unless the price is proper silly

Would be very interested.

 

[chico]

I'd be interested. One of my bucket list.

 

[PNWokingham]

played it circa 6 times and said last year that the £350 for the full day package (rather than the £525 from memory that it looked like) would be the swansong but i do love it so as a Sean said "never say never again"!

£350 in 2023 for breakfast, two rounds and carvery?

If so that’s interesting and would like more info, as I’ll need all the help I can get to deliver this one for you guys…

yes. It was organised by the club. I very much doubt that simialr deals are available now. The only way to know is to ask. Similary the deal Glyn got over 2 days a few years ago i suspect was a pure one off and highly unlikley to be available again

I checked and it was £265. Indications so far are it might be around £400. I need to contact certain people to see if we have any options or contacts first.

Do you think they wouldn’t be amenable to doing an event over 2 days now? I’ve already had a few people state that’s their preference, so I will ask anyway.
