Re:Sunningdale
I assume you played the pre-version. I love the work there though I never saw the original. Any thoughts?
I played it a few years back in a qualifier. Not sure if it was pre or post renovation-it's hard to keep up these days with renovations and rerenovations

.
I was quite impressed with the course but this go round was a qualifier as well so I wasn't focused on architecture, but rather scoring. Sadly, I did not adjust to the pace of the greens and left every single putt woefully short -which is on me and inexcuseable. The greens were in good condition.
I'd put it perhaps a notch below Wykagyl? (which I really like but to be fair played with a more watchful eye)
Made everything the next day at Bethpage Red in another qualifier(it is amazing how much more often the ball goes in it it reaches the hole). Have always enjoyed that course, though they are starting to get infected with the Black's love of unkempt, long, lush, hunt your ball grass in the rough. The Black lost its architecture in the "maintenance"(gunch rough and narrow fairways) years ago-hate to see the Red trending that direction(though way better than the Black)
