About this course
The Robinson Course at Sunningdale Golf & Country Club in London, Ontario, takes its name from its designer, C. E. "Robbie" Robinson, a prominent Canadian golf course architect who worked extensively across Ontario during the mid-twentieth century. Robinson established a reputation for routing courses that work naturally with existing terrain, creating strategic layouts that reward thoughtful play rather than relying solely on length or artificial hazards. Sunningdale Golf & Country Club, located in southwestern Ontario, operates as a private club serving the London area. The Robinson Course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with mature tree-lined fairways and elevation changes that add variety to the playing experience. Robinson's design philosophy typically emphasized playability for members while incorporating enough strategic interest to challenge accomplished players, a balance reflected in the routing and green complexes. The course features the kind of parkland setting common to established Ontario clubs, with hardwoods framing holes and creating natural corridors for play. Green sites often incorporate subtle contours that require careful approach work, and bunkering tends toward functional rather than decorative placement. The layout serves as the club's primary championship course and hosts member competitions throughout the season. Sunningdale functions as a traditional private club with an active membership drawn from the London community. The club maintains both golf facilities and social amenities typical of established Canadian country clubs, supporting year-round member activity beyond the golf season.

Getting there
The journey to Sunningdale Golf & Country Club begins at London International Airport, a compact regional hub just fifteen minutes northeast of the club, though many members arriving from afar touch down at Toronto Pearson - roughly ninety minutes east along Highway 401 - before making the westward drive through Ontario's gently rolling farmland. The final approach trades the hum of the 401 for the quieter rhythm of Sunningdale Road, where the landscape softens into mature hardwoods and manicured residential estates on London's northwest edge. The entrance, discreet and understated in the Canadian tradition, opens onto grounds that have anchored this corner of southwestern Ontario's golf culture since the postwar era - a fitting arrival for one of the region's most enduring private sanctuaries.
