Royal Ascot Golf Club

Founded in 1887 on Ascot Heath and designed by J.H. Taylor, this is the second oldest, and the only Royal, golf club in Berkshire, becoming a Royal Club by command of Queen Victoria in its first year. Redevelopment of the racecourse forced a move across the road to Sunninghill Park, where an 18-hole course opened to members in December 2004, continuing a history that once saw the club host the Boys Amateur Championship.
