It is much easier to become a social member which grants people access to the facilities like the bar and practice ground and green.
Golfers with a handicap of 18 or less are able to book Sunningdale’s two courses as a guest, costing up to £340 a day.
Plentiful glass lends an airy aspect to the dining area, and also offers views out into the garden beyond, which includes an outdoor pool

They are described on the club’s website as ‘the closest thing to Augusta as any club in the British Isles’ – a reference to the famous course in Georgia that hosts The Masters.
If golf does not interest the new owner the property is also well-placed for horse racing as Ascot and Windsor are nearby.
The outgoing owners bought the property in 2008 and knocked down the existing smaller house to create the new home.
The golf club is just a short walk away through the metal gate at the bottom of the garden.

Charlie Fisher, of Savills, said: ‘There are a limited number of houses that back on to the course so this is a rare opportunity.
‘The property was built bespoke for the clients about 12 years or so and is a lovely blend of a modern home but with a traditional feel about it.
‘It has been a family home but now the owners’ children have grown up and moved out and is they are looking to downsize.
‘The landscaped garden is beautifully screened by planting and so you can’t see golfers playing and they can’t see you.
‘But the first floor level overlooks the course so there is also a nice blend of privacy and views. The property also has its own gate on to the course itself which is obviously very convenient if you are playing.’
