The 2026 RDRder Cup - A Thrashing at Thorndon
​
Returning to Essex for the second time, the 2026 edition of the RDRder Cup will take place at the number one course in the county.
The course is a classic design from 1920 by Harry Shapland Colt, one of the greatest golf architects. In 240 acres of an ancient deer park, he created a challenging course – sensitively lengthened over the years – for players of all standards, with the Palladian mansion of Thorndon Hall as the magnificent backdrop to the final hole. In little more than two miles from the M25, is a place of tranquillity, bounded by a vast country park, with mighty oaks adding their grandeur alongside the fairways and greens.
Hosted by two of our greatest champions from the rival teams, this will prove to be a memorable outing and confirms its place in the annual sporting calendar.
