What kind of golf course could inspire a poet to call its location “one of the most delicious spots in England”? You might be surprised to learn that the Buckinghamshire Golf Club, right before your eyes, sparked that very sentiment centuries ago! Established much later, in 1992, the Buckinghamshire Golf Club sprawls across 226 acres. Designed by Ryder Cup captain John Jacobs, the course meanders around the historic Denham Court Mansion. This isn’t just any old clubhouse. Denham Court Mansion boasts Anglo-Saxon roots, with sections dating back over 700 years. Today, its Grade II listed walls house the Heron Restaurant, a popular spot for wedding receptions and celebrations. The golf course itself is a sight to behold. The River Misbourne meanders through the greens, adding an extra layer of challenge to the game. And a challenge it is! This expansive course stretches over 6,800 yards. It has tested the skills of golfing legends, having hosted prestigious tournaments like the Senior Tournament of Champions and the Ladies European Masters. Despite its grand history and challenging play, the Buckinghamshire Golf Club retains a quintessentially English charm. As you walk these grounds, remember the words of John Dryden, and savor the “delicious” scenery, a testament to the club’s enduring legacy.
