Chiltern Forest Golf Club

Location and setting

Situated just off the A41, the club is separated from central London by 49 miles, which is around an hour's drive, and is only 5 miles from the neighboring town of Aylesbury.

Career

The Chiltern Forest Golf Club is located in a forest area, called Wendover Woods, in the northern hills near the town of Aylesbury, an area renowned for its incredible natural beauty. It is a parkland type course, a par 70 of 5687 yards, completely surrounded by forest and located on the hill of Chiltern, which offers narrow and technical fairways. The soil made of chalk facilitates drainage in rainy weather and allows the club to continue to offer a field in excellent condition, where other clubs in the region have to close their doors. Finally, thanks to its wooded park, the club is cut off from all traffic noise, in order to offer players a relaxing experience, free from all distractions.

History

The region of Halton, where the club is located, is one of the most popular places where golf was practiced, in particular thanks to the influence of its prestigious owners at the time, the Rothschilds. Thus, it is possible to trace the history of golf in the region to more than 100 years! The road along the current golf course is also famous, since it gave its name to the legendary manufacturer Aston Martin, in reference to the car races that took place there.

Henry Cotton, professional golfer and course designer, then stationed at the military training ground that had become around Halton, modified the existing course to create a nine-hole course.

The Chiltern Forest Golf Club began in the 1970s when the Ministry of Defense authorized the purchase of its land.
The current course was inaugurated in 1992, thanks to a series of progressive expansions and infrastructure developments.
