The Buckinghamshire Golf Club is situated close to the charming and historic town of Denham and it's a big golf course, designed by a big golfer – former Ryder Cup Captain, John Jacobs. The Buckinghamshire stretches out more than 6,800 yards against a par of 72.

This elegant course opened for play in 1992 and it’s set in more than 200 acres of mature parkland. They planted thousands of indigenous trees during the building of the course and they encourage wild flowers to grow in the rough, including meadowsweet and primula – it’s certainly a pretty place.

Jacobs has created a very natural looking golf course that harmonises with its surroundings. Additionally it is an exciting, surprising and challenging layout. But at the same time, golfers of all abilities will enjoy it.  There are numerous large teeing areas to choose from and the huge greens are exceptionally receptive, fast and true – amongst the best in the area. Plenty of water instils uncertainty, waiting to swallow the wayward shot.

Great holes are many, but amongst the best are the 7th, a long par four with a ditch dissecting the fairway 200 yards from the tee – a stream then cuts across, 60 yards short of the green and to the right of the putting surface lurks a pond. The 8th is a quirky but thoroughly entertaining hole – a short par four that sweeps all the way round a lake, leaving a very nervy approach shot across the water.
