About the event
Green fee and breakfast: £45
We have organised a fantastic rate for our members to play one of Berkshire's best courses (currently number 6 on the best in county list). Green fees are usually around £75, we have arranged a sizeable discount with breakfast included.
F.G. Hawtree and J.H. Taylor originally designed the easy walking course at Sonning Golf Club and it opened its tees for play in 1914. Harry Colt is credited with later design input when he reworked the bunkers. In the new millennium, Martin Hawtree remodelled the par five 18th so that the home green now sits in front of the clubhouse.
Originally set out on heathland but now playing more as a parkland course, the 18-hole layout at Sonning extends to 6,329 yards from the back markers (rated as a par 70 with a standard scratch score rating of 71) but it normally plays longer than its overall yardage due to the lush playing conditions and several elevated greens.
Please make immediate payment to West London Golf Society bank account once RSVP'd.
