Sunnybrook Golf Club

Founded in 1914 by six defectors from the Philadelphia Cricket Club, Sunnybrook Golf Club had a Donald Ross-designed course in play within twelve months of its formation.

Unfortunately, a highway dissected parts of the Ross course, so the club was forced to move to its present location at the old William Disston farm in the mid-1950s. Fortunately, the members commissioned the father and son team of William and David Gordon to fashion a new spacious, open layout.

Today's green complexes are impressively bunkered following a 2007 in-house greens and bunker renovation and recently the course was described “as beautifully simple in its architecture, very tough, but also very playable” by Mr. Top 100, the intrepid Rudo.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list.
