"I am very impressed at how Sunningdale has committed the time, people and financing over such an incredibly short time period to not only make major renovations and improvements to both 18 hole courses, but complete construction on what is one of the most elegant Clubhouses in this part of Ontario.  With course renovations and the new clubhouse now complete, golf at Sunningdale will truly become one of the most pleasurable private club experiences around."
