What the club says: The golf course measures 6,329 yards and has a par of 70 and a SSS of 71. It generally plays longer than its yardage due to the elevations of several greens and fairways. Although originally a heath land course, there is now an abundance of mature trees and shrubs that line its fairways.

The greens are always true and fast and will test the very best of players. Peter Alliss has described our 17th hole as “one of the best short holes in the South of England”. The course is always in excellent condition throughout the year, and as written in the Michelin Guide “It is well worth a detour”. Martin Hawtree, the renowned international golf course architect, has redesigned Sonning’s original Taylor/Colt layout and has produced an impressive new 18th hole that finishes in front of the clubhouse. With an excellent practice range and short game area, Sonning provides some of the best facilities in the South of England.

Fantastic course

Lovely course - quite difficult ; nine holes are longer than 400 yards, seven of which are Par 4's. Lovely setting, good greens (not super fast but true and undulating). No discernible water but lots of bunkers. Some very memorable holes. Even the short holes aren't easy. Not somewhere to take an occasional player.

Our annual society visit with coffe and bacon rolls to get the day underway.

Course in pretty good condition but for second year running the greens were slow and could have done with a cut, so don't be fooled by the pace of the putting green.

Classic parkland and well-maintained course

A very well-maintained course. Nice and old-style in a pleasant picturesque part of the country. Holes are decent, just a little too flat

Stunning Sonning, beautiful course and fantastic condition. Really enjoyable round, great pace for a four ball, 3:45 mins. Perfect, apart from the sock policy... wear white socks with shorts... still don't get that rule I'm afraid.
