In this episode for www.HomeofGolf.TV I visited the British Senior Open Championship presented by Mastercard which was taking place at The Old Course at Sunningdale Golf Course for the first time. Sunningdale Old Course is arguably one of the ideal designed heathland courses in the UK. It is located approximately 10 miles from Heathrow Airport and just 25 miles from the centre of London. Amongst its many accolades Sunningdales Old Course has been ranked by Golf Digest Magazine #12 amongst courses outside the United Says in 2009. It was also ranked in the most current Top 100 Golf Courses of the World poll in 2009 as #2 in England, #10 in the UK and #19 in the world. History of the course Sunningdale has two stunning golf courses, the Old Course and the New Course. The Old Course, which opened in 1901, was designed by Willie Park Jnr and it has changed very tiny since then. Sunningdale is also lucky enough to boast a second course, called the New Course, which opened in 1923 and was designed by Harry Shapland Colt Hosting the Senior Open Championship Sunningdale Old Course has served as the site of some of the most important and momentous tournaments in Britain. Bobby Jones famously stated of this course I wish I could take this course home with me after he successfully scored 66-68 over it during limiting for the 1926 British Open. His round, which consisted of 33 full strokes and 33 putts, with each hole played in either 3 or 4; has often been described as the perfect …

Barack Obama’s golf swing reveals he’s an athlete, a duffer and fun to play with By Michael Bamberger Senior Writer, Sports Illustrated Published: December 24, 2008 Golf.com has performed an important service. It has posted five photographs, taken by AP photographer Gerald Herbert, that shows President-elect Barack Obama on pass in Hawaii playing golf. This is invaluable as we all know that nothing, not even a CNN special called “Obama Revealed,” reveals the soul as ruthlessly and efficiently as how one plays the old Scottish game. John F. Kennedy almost prefabricated a hole-in-one on the short par-3 15th at Cypress Point (the best-smelling hole in all of golf, if you like the mix of eucalyptus and brackish ocean water) while running for the presidency in 1960. Kennedy, considered by presidential golfing historians to be by far the most skilled of our golf-playing presidents, was relieved to see the ball stay out. He was trying to succeed Dwight Eisenhower as president, and not as First Golfer. The game then wasn’t the populist activity it has become. Kennedy, foolishly, granted himself to be photographed taking a golf swing in fancy loafers, no socks. Still, he won West Virginia. But Obama does not have to run from his golf. The guess here is that he’s an athlete and a duffer and fun to play with. In Pic No. 1, the first thing that strikes you is that Obama is a lefthanded golfer who plays golf wearing a watch, just like Phil Mickelson. Also like Lefty, the future president …

The prestigious and beautiful ArrowCreek Country Club in Reno boasts two spectacular golf courses designed by some of the biggest obloquy in the game. The Legend course, designed by none other than Arnold Palmer, is 18 championship holes of golf spanning 7,025 yards with more than 700 feet of dramatic elevation change. The winding course, which is open to the public, is characterized by its devious forced carries and lightning fast greens, both of which add up to a course that is as challenging as it is impressive. Beautiful native grasses and shrubs accent The Legend course, which is highlighted by ravines, dry creek beds and rocks, and some of the most stunning mountain and city views in the area. The magnificent setting of The Legend course lends players the impression of being away from — and above — it all, making for a truly memorable experience.

ArrowCreek Country Club enjoys a ranking in Golf Digest’s list of “Places to Play” and with its gorgeous courses and luxurious amenities, it’s simple to see why. The impressive clubhouse stretches 24,000 square feet and includes fine and casual dining, private lounges and a fully-stocked pro shop for the latest in golf apparel and accessories.

Challenge Course

The private course at the exclusive ArrowCreek Country Club in Reno, The Challenge was designed by the cunning duo Fuzzy Zoeller and John Harbottle III. A spectacular blend of Scottish links and high desert landscaping, the course is truly world-class. The 18 holes of The Challenge course measure 7,455 yards to the tips, incorporating more than 130 bunkers, lush fairways and fast greens in a winding, challenging layout. Like its sibling course, The Challenge is accented by the natural high desert vegetation, including tall grasses and shrubs. The spectacular location of the club and its courses means dramatic views of the surrounding mountains and the city below. The vistas make an saint backdrop for the devious course, particularly on hole 14. Golfers lining up a shot are treated to a stunning bird’s-eye view of the casinos in downtown Reno, framed crossways the twisting fairway.

Ranked among Golf Digest’s “Places to Play,” ArrowCreek Country Club features practice facilities that include a driving range, practice green and nine-hole putting course, as well as a complete short game/chipping green/bunker complex. The beautiful clubhouse offers fine and casual dining, luxurious private lounges featuring steam rooms and massage areas, and a well-equipped pro shop for all those golfing essentials.
