Sunningdale Golf Club is, without a doubt, home to the best pair of inland, heathland courses in the world. Opened in 1923, the “New” is built alongside the Old but is more rugged and open, and almost certainly tougher. Intimidating heather awaits errant shots and contoured, elevated greens makes scoring difficult.

The Lodge at Prince’s Golf Club is an intimate venue nestled on the Bay of Sandwich, situated at the entrance of Prince’s Golf Club with 38 bedrooms, including two lavish Bay and Links suites, all with en-suite facilities. The property offers stunning views across the English Channel and over to the White Cliffs of Ramsgate and offers all of the modern essentials you would come to expect from a luxurious hotel. Most importantly, with its location onsite, the convenience of stepping out of your room and onto the links cannot be beat. It is the perfect accommodations for a group of golfers.

England’s original and most often used Open host is situated along the coast of Sandwich Bay in southwest England. With nary a flat lie and winds from every direction, the layout favors the artistic feel-player over the scientist. That is unless you find the towering Himalaya bunker on the difficult 4th, from where an escape will require every skill in your arsenal.

Although overshadowed by neighboring Royal St. Georges, Princes Golf Club more than holds its own with a rare balance between modern ambience and historic charm. The 1932 Open Championship host features 27 holes of outstanding links golf along the tranquil coastal setting and a significant redevelopment since 2017 has only enhanced it’s championship qualities.

Royal Cinque Ports (or Deal as it is known to the locals) was founded in 1892 and is a traditional out and back links course along the Kent Coast. It is known to be one of the toughest links courses in the world with sand dunes and native grass that perfectly frame the entrances to undulating and narrow fairways. Scoring is possible early but the back can be humbling, even to the best. Says Gary Player: “I consider the last four holes at Deal to be without doubt, the finest four consecutive holes on any course in the world.” Enough said.

*NOTE: Play would be in Twosomes after 1:00 pm per Royal Cinque Ports visitor policy on Wednesdays.

The Dilly London is a 5-star luxury hotel located in the center of London. The Dilly has a rich history as one of London’s finest hotels. It’s excellent reputation is built on years of British tradition, with an Edwardian heritage reflected in everything they do. Onsite, guests can dine on the “Terrace” or the award-winning Madhu’s, or head “Downstairs” for a drink at the Piano Bar. Meanwhile,  the Picadilly address puts you steps away from top sites like Buckingham Palace, Trafalagar Square and St. James Park. If you want to stay in a hotel steeped in history in the center of London, look no further than The Dilly.

* Today’s pricing includes Superior Twin or Double Rooms.

Sunningdale Golf Club is, without a doubt, home to the best pair of inland, heathland courses in the world. Opened in 1901, the Old is a tree-lined classic which is a bit and easier that the neighboring New. It offers more variety, though, and features a couple of tee shots through beautifully framed corridors that will be etched in your memory forever.

Walton Heath was founded in 1903 and has an incredible history, with King Edward III having served as the club’s first captain and 5-time Open Champion James Braid having served the role of golf professional for over 45 years. The championship layout has hosted a plethora of big events including the Ryder Cup, Senior British Open and, most recently, the 2023 Women’s British Open. It is a shot makers paradise with small greens and penalizing bunkers routed between trademark purple heather.

The prices shown above are valid for 14 days. In order to confirm the trip and lock in your trip price, the next step is to pay the initial deposits as outlined above via the Book Now link below.

Payment of your initial deposit signifies your intent to travel with Cloud 9 Golf and Travel. Upon receipt of your payment, Cloud 9 will lock in your trip price with currency contracts and will pay non-refundable deposits to suppliers (golf courses, hotels, etc.) on your group’s behalf. Therefore, please note that payments made to Cloud 9 are non-refundable and we strongly encourage all clients to purchase travel insurance (shop travel insurance quotes here). Please see our T&Cs below for additional information regarding payment terms and policies.

Cloud 9 will provide you with a Trip Proposal outlining the services that you have requested for your vacation package. To accept the Trip Proposal, payment of the Initial Deposit must be made within 14 days by all participants in your group. Once all deposits have been received, Cloud 9 will proceed with confirming the necessary bookings for your vacation.

Payment of the Initial Deposit signifies your intent to appoint Cloud 9 to act as your agent to obtain the services you have requested. Payment of the Initial Deposit also signifies that you understand our booking conditions and have accepted them on behalf of yourself and all members of your party.

If you are booking as part of a group, you must designate a “Lead Participant” responsible for sharing these Terms and Conditions with each trip participant. Cloud 9 is not responsible for any participants misunderstanding of these terms and conditions due to the failure of the lead participant to share this information.

Pricing:

Prices are stated in US dollars. The per person trip price is based on the number of participants as stated in the agreed upon Trip Proposal. If the number of participants changes, trip prices may change. Cloud 9 is not obligated to give a breakdown of the costs associated with a trip. Prices are valid for 14 days from the date the Trip Proposal is sent and, if all Initial Deposits have not been received within 14 days, Cloud 9 reserves the right to adjust the price.

Payments:

Trip payments are payable directly to Cloud 9, and are payable by paper check, E-check/ACH, MasterCard, VISA or American Express. Unless otherwise stated above, payments are due to Cloud 9 in two installments and must be paid in accordance with the following schedule:

Initial Deposit – An Initial Deposit, as outlined your Trip Proposal, is due upon acceptance of the Trip Proposal. The Initial Deposit is non-refundable unless Cloud 9 is unable to provide tee times at any of the courses on your itinerary (this excludes the St. Andrews-Old Course if included through the advance application or any other courses that have been identified as being subject to availability).

Final Balance Payment – Unless otherwise stated, the final payment will be due approximately 90 days prior to departure and we will send an invoice to your group to confirm the exact due date.

Cancellations/Changes:

Once Initial Deposit(s) are paid and trip bookings are in place, a Confirmed Itinerary will be sent to you to show all confirmed bookings for your trip. In certain instances, changes to your itinerary may be necessary at the time of booking and these will be communicated to the Lead Participant prior to confirmation. Once agreed upon bookings are confirmed (will be shown in your Confirmed Itinerary) date changes are subject to availability and may result in additional charges, including the loss of non-refundable deposits, if applicable.

All payments to Cloud 9 are non-refundable (except as stated above in Payments regarding the Initial Deposit), so we urge all of our clients to purchase trip cancellation insurance and you can shop travel insurance quotes HERE. (Specifically, we strongly encourage clients to purchase coverage for things like Covid-19, which allows travelers to recover trip costs should they have to cancel or suspend their trip. Costs associated with trip cancellation/interruption, medical expenses, and mandatory quarantine can all be covered to reduce risk.) Should you wish to forgo travel insurance and then have to cancel your trip, you will assume full financial responsibility. Also, refunds cannot be issued for unused portions of the trip package, including for missed reservations due to disrupted air travel. Name changes are usually possible, and, with only a few exceptions, deposits are transferable should you need to find a replacement traveler.

In the case of a partial cancellation prior to final payment (only a portion of the group cancels), the trip price(s) for group member(s) who still plan to travel may increase to cover the unpaid prorated costs associated with the cancelled trips.

Travel Documentation:

It is the duty of each group member to have a valid and current passport, along with any other documents that may be necessary to travel (visas may be required for some destinations). Cloud 9 is not responsible for travel delays or cancellations that result from an invalid or missing travel documentation.

Course Handicap Requirements:

Courses included on your itinerary may have handicap limits. It is the responsibility of each golfer to have a valid handicap card/certificate to present where required. Cloud 9 is not responsible for fees or cancellations that result from missing credentials.

Required Mobility:

Some aspects of your trip may require a certain level of fitness and/or mobility to participate and it is up to each group member to assess their capabilities. Cloud 9 is not responsible for cancellations that result from a failure to meet these requirements.

Hotel Bookings:

Unless otherwise stated, our price assumes double occupancy, shared rooms and is based on standard rooms. Upgrades are available at many hotels for an additional charge but requests for upgrades should be submitted to Cloud 9 upon paying your Initial Deposit.

Transportation:

For chauffeured groups relying on the services of a driver, our price assumes that all group members will arrive and depart together from the same airport on the same day at approximately the same time. If additional transfers are required or an expense is incurred to cover a driver’s waiting time, the additional cost will be passed along to your group.

Self-drive prices, if included in our Trip Proposal, include collision and theft insurance policies with small deductibles. However, the deductible can be reduced to zero for a daily fee, payable upon picking up the vehicle. Also, our self-drive prices cover one designated driver (between 25 and 74 years of age) but a second driver can be added at initial pick-up for little or no fee (depending on branch location).
