Buckingham Golf Club

A 112 year old gem. I've been told about this course and was not sure of what to expect. Well, I was warned it was a little 'up itself' amongst other things - thankfully when I bid on a 4 ball I was not let down.
When booking, after saying it was a voucher, they booked me in no problem. Then today we turned up and we're made welcome by both staff and members.
At £65 for a round, it looked a little overpriced, wrong, worth every penny. The tee boxes are in great condition, fairways are better than you'd expect with the baking weather conditions (according to members they are in poor condition and may reinstate pick and place very shortly...they do not need it!). Bunkers are all raked and have sand in them, not stones, not mud, SAND. All the streams and ditches have red stakes and red lines.

And what have I missed and left til last? The greens. What can I say, even in this drought, they are green and lush. None are flat, all have intricacies where you need to think about your putt. I'd love to go back with a turf cutter, as my garden would look wonderful with that grass.

The bar staff are helpful to the point of explaining which bitter has been used, and you can try the other before you buy if that's ok!

If you want a really enjoyable game of golf with a meal afterwards, try this course, you will not be disappointed..

Oh yes, the course has a stream run through it at the bottom of a small valley, then later you go down to the River Ouse. Views are stunning.

Go play it! If I lived in MK, this could well be my home club that I would join.
