Stowe Golf Club

Set in the grounds of Stowe School and the National Trust Gardens this, 'small but perfectly formed' golf course of 9 tiny greens and 18 tees winds its way between trees, statues and wandering tourists. With perfectly manicured undulating greens at the end of generally very-short fairways this is a test of accuracy and an experience to be enjoyed. The clubhouse is a small wooden construction that miraculously provides superb food from a tiny kitchen and is hosted by warm and welcoming staff. Difficult to book a round as the club operates to a strictly limited timetable so you may need to be invited by a member.
