Whether you are a fan of golf or not, buying a home near a premium golf course comes with many advantages. Not only do golf courses offer the stillness of open space and impressive views of lush greens, but recent sales show that properties near top venues like Sunningdale golf course can command up to a 20% price premium compared to the national average. During this time of marginal house price growth, golf properties seem to be faring better than most which strongly suggests their suitability as a long term investment. We look at three homes on the market with Strutt & Parker in Sunningdale, Berkshire, all within ‘chipping’ distance of two world-class courses.
