Golf courses in England

Location and setting
The Flackwell Heath Golf Club is ideally located, close to a major motorway, the M40 motorway. It is near the towns of Beaconsfield and High Wycombe and attracts both visiting travelers and locals alike, thanks to the many qualities of its course and the club's friendliness to visitors.
Parcours Show
Flackwell Heath has a par 71 course measuring 6142 yards, which can prove difficult if golfers don't adapt their shot to the many natural obstacles. This park-like course, superbly wooded, is perfectly maintained and has quality greens, planted with skilfully planted pines. From the first hole to the last, players will have to show reflection and strategy, since the course begins with seemingly soft and simple pars, before gradually increasing the difficulty to finally reach a particularly complex end game.
History
The Flackwell Heath Golf Club is 1904 years old, and since its inception, it has never ceased to entertain its members and visitors of all levels. It was in 1907 that a nine-hole course was designed by James Sherlock, a professional with the Oxford University Club. From 18, the course was extended to reach XNUMX holes, under the direction of John Turner, and over the years, the course was modified several times and improved. Among the architects who intervened on the course of the club to improve it, we find in particular a certain Harry Colt and FW Hawtree.

Location and setting
The Worplesdon Golf Club is located in Great Britain, in Surrey. This club owes its large attendance to the tranquility of its moor-type course. The Worplesdon course is very well maintained and is renowned as an excellent test of golfing skill, with fair playing conditions thanks to the protection provided by its heather, bunkers and surrounding trees. The welcome here is warm and the Worplesdon course is an ideal location for winter golf, due to the excellent drainage resulting from being built on predominantly sandy soil.
Parcours Show
Built primarily on Bagshot sand, Worplesdon's 18-hole course drains well in winter and turns into an indoor links course in summer. The "signature hole" is 10, which is especially attractive when the rhododendrons are in bloom. But the visitor should not be discouraged by the bodies of water on the course: Bridley Pond is the only major water obstacle on the course. The rest of the holes mostly wander through wooded moorland.
History
Worplesdon is one of Surrey's classic moorland courses, laid out in 1908 by JF Abercromby; the greens and bunkers were built by Willie Park Junior. The greens are excellent and among the best in Surrey. Worplesdon is known in the golfing world as the host club of the Worplesdon Mixed Foursomes. From its inception in 1921 until the 1933s, this tournament attracted the best amateur golfers in the country. It has been won eight times by Worplesdon's most famous member, Joyce Wethered. His Highness the Prince of Wales captained the club in XNUMX.

Two spectacular championship golf courses. The Heritage and The International offer a stimulating and memorable golf challenge.
The Heritage
The Heritage (18 holes), reserved for its members, is a very technical and traditional course by Jack Nicklaus, which requires concentration and reflection with each stroke.
The International
The International (18 holes) is without doubt one of the most beautiful courses in Europe. This golf course offers undulating fairways and tees on the water. It hosted the regional qualifications for the Open Championship. The holes are varied and the water obstacles are present on 5 holes.

Location and setting
Beaconsfields Golf Club is located north of Slough, and close to the A335, which provides access to central London in 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Parcours Show
The Beaconsfield course is a course that can be particularly tough when the wind is against you! This park-like course is particularly interesting if you want to challenge yourself. It offers 18 well-balanced holes spread over 6575 yards, with a par of 72; several par 5s give a hard time during the game, and practically no shot is straight, dog-legs are a must! Players also need to know how to use precision rather than force on certain shots, otherwise Colt's famous diagonal cross bunkers would punish them immediately. Finally, the holes are very well isolated from each other thanks to the wooded course.
History
Beaconsfield Golf was founded in 1902, by Colonel Du Pre who established Wilton Park Golf Club after observing the growing success of surrounding golf courses. The first course had nine holes, traced in the lands of his domain. In order to achieve his dream of establishing a prestigious eighteen-hole golf course and clubhouse on his estate to replace the original nine-hole course, the Colonel in 1913 employed the services of renowned architect Harry Colt to design the new course on another part of the domain. To this day, the course remains substantially the same as when it was created.

Parcours Show
The course at Cirencester Golf Club will certainly require you to demonstrate good course management, good club choice and unwavering concentration, without letting the surrounding nature distract you from your game! Some of the fairways on this 6055 yard course are much narrower than you might expect; to conquer them, you will need precision, as well as a good golf club to thwart the bunkers enclosing the greens. We advise you to spend some time on the training ground before you start on the course, as it will be very useful for you. The course was designed by James Braid and is approximately 3 miles from the ancient town of Cirencester. The 18 holes are carefully maintained by the green staff and are designed to meet the needs of golfers of all levels.

The Finchley course is a full 18-hole par 72 course located on park-like grounds, richly planted and equipped with a clubhouse housed in an old Victorian residence. We owe the design of the course to James Braid, the prolific golf architect; the Finchley course is no exception to the quality found in his other creations (the King's Course at Gleneagles, in particular). We thus find fast sloping greens which will complicate the task of inattentive golfers, narrow fairways lined with trees to test the precision of the players, water obstacles... the whole results in a fun course for all levels of golfers.
History
The clubhouse was built between 1880 and 1883 by a wealthy Victorian businessman, Henry Thomas Tubbs, as a home called Nether Court, for himself and his family. All avid golfers, the family had a 9-hole course (some of which still exist today) on their land in 1893. However, the golf course ceased to be used from 1914, when the war broke out. After the war, the club's founders acquired the land and used the Nether Court mansion as their clubhouse. James Braid was called upon to draw the layout of the 18-hole course over 6300 yards. Since 1930, when the course was opened for play, it has seen little change.

Wentworth Club is a private golf course in Virginia Water, Surrey, on the southwestern outskirts of London, not far from Windsor Castle. This course designed by Harry Colt in 1926 and modernized by Ernie Els in 2006 hosts prestigious European tournaments such as the Ryder Cup. It demands constant attention. A great golf test!

It is only possible to play at Wentworth if you are a member or if you are invited by a member.

The two main courses in Wentworth, although both the work of Harry S. Colt, are as different from each other as those in Berkshire. Where the "West Course" has captured the attention and hosted many tournaments for five decades, the "East Course" is shorter but more technical and just as captivating.
The West Course
Golfers used to call Wentworth's West Course the Burma Road because of its steep slopes and extraordinary length. Harry S. Colt had designed the course with the best players in the world in mind, and it was for a time the longest and most difficult course in English golf.

After WWII, the “West Course” hosted the 1953 Ryder Cup, where Peter Allis and Bernard Hunt came close to leading Ireland and Great Britain to a stunning victory. Sam Snead and Ben Hogan are came for the Canada Cup three years later In the 60s the course hosted the first World Matches and saw Nicklaus, Palmer and Player at the top of their game.

Thanks to renovations carried out by Ernie Els, the "West Course" has adapted to the world of golf today while retaining its original spirit.
The East Course
The “East Course” is the first course at Wentworth, and the key here is precision at the tee and then the right choice of club for the attack on the green. The first nine holes are rich in par 3 and par 4. Holes get progressively longer on the return.The 11th dog-leg hole deserves special mention and demands a perfect tee-shot.
The "Edinburgh Course"
The idea of ​​a third golf course at Wentworth was first considered in the late 1970s, but it was not until 1990 that the Edinburgh course was opened to golfers. It was designed by coach and former Ryder Cup player and captain John Jacobs in consultation with Gary Player, nine titles in Major, and Bernard Gallacher, then a club professional.

Together they paid homage to Harry Colt's philosophy that a course should test the best golf courses in the world, but also be playable and enjoyed by amateur golfers. The Edinburgh course has proven to be true to these principles dear to Colt.

A wide choice of teeing tees allow golfers to play the course at any length that suits them, while wide and generous fairways provide the freedom to hit the driver, one of the basic pleasures of golf. The strategically placed pines and doglegs spice up the course.

Since the first shot was played in the historic 1926 match hailed as the precursor to the Ryder Cup, Wentworth's three courses have each hosted some of the most prestigious trophies in the world; including The Daks Tournament, British Masters, Women's British Open, The Canada Cup, The World Match Play and of course, the highly anticipated BMW PGA Championships.

St Enodoc Golf Club is one of England's finest links course on all natural terrain.

The first hole is a par 5 which is relatively easy compared to the rest of the course. It has large dunes, greens and undulating fairways overlooking an estuary and the picturesque harbor of Padstow. It takes its name from a small church -church- from the 13th century buried under the sand by a storm in the middle of the 19th century and finally cleared in 1863. It has always been present ever since, on the right of the 10th green. Another curiosity is the gigantic bunker-dune nicknamed the Himalayas, a sort of 25m high promontory with access to the hidden green of the 6th hole. Great views over the Cornish coast.
