The Club was opened for play in 1936 and offers first-class parkland golf. The course has steadily evolved since that date and provides a challenging yet ultimately rewarding test of golf in beautiful natural surroundings. As a members’ club, everything here is set up and geared towards exceeding the expectation of our members. A superb course, well administered competitions and a convivial atmosphere are just some of the compelling reasons to join us.

Welcome to Burford Golf Club Burford Golf Club is a well-established and highly-regarded members’ club that is renowned for having one the finest courses in Oxfordshire. Our picturesque and mature 18-hole course offers an exhilarating challenge for all golfers.

Burford Golf Club proves a popular venue for visitors - it is situated in the heart of the beautiful Cotswolds and provides an array of stunning scenery, both within and just outside the Club’s boundaries. You and your friends will find not only a lovely course in first class condition, but equally importantly, you’ll be welcomed and will definitely find us an ideal venue for a casual game or a society event.

The course found instant success but the outbreak of the Second World War saw the fairways of the new second nine ploughed up for cereal production, eventually being restored for play in 1949. The farmer who had cultivated and reaped the harvest during that time presented the Club with the Harvest Cup to be competed for annually.

History Designed by J. H. Turner, the then professional at Frilford Heath Golf Club, the first nine holes of Burford course were opened for play in May of 1936. Construction of the second nine holes commenced in late 1936 and completion was made in remarkably short time with the official opening on 30th September 1937.

With the original clubhouse being demolished in 1964 to make way for the present roundabout at the junction of the A40 and A361 roads, the new clubhouse opened on 29th February 1964. From then until the present time, the building has grown with varying alterations and extensions within the constraints of limited space, but able to cater for the busiest days in the Club diary and to provide a warm welcome for visitors. Early aerial photographs clearly show a course devoid of trees but members and visitors today see a course with tree-lined fairways that are always in good condition and a delight to play.

The course is fairly flat and although not long, it does offer a comfortable round for golfers of all ages and handicaps. It measures 6,401 yards from the white medal tees and 6,078 from the yellow tees, playing to a par of 71. Although the ladies par is 73, the length from the red tees of 5,768 yards means this is still a very good test. The greens are a joy to play on, and in addition to being incredibly smooth they are very consistentlypaced and true from day to day and week to week.

The Course Burford is blessed with an outstanding golf course considered to be amongst the best in the county.

While Burford has 18 signature holes, one of the most eye-catching is the 14th. It is lined by a great variety of trees and in spring and autumn the walk down from tee to green is absolutely spectacular. The closing three-hole stretch consists of three very difficult par fours and sets up an exciting finish to the round. No lead is safe in matchplay or strokeplay until this trio of holes is safely negotiated and players must keep their wits about them right to the end.

Our PGA-qualified professional Mike Ridge is on hand to provide expert tuition whenever you need it. Mike’s teaching is backed up by some fine practice facilities including a large practice ground and a chipping area which allow you to invest time working on the new techniques he has taught you. Individual or group lessons of 20 minutes, 40 minutes or an hour in duration are available, with all areas of the game covered from chipping and putting to improving accuracy off the tee. Mike likes to take a hands-on approach to his tuition, while his golfing philosophy is based around trying to keep things as simple as possible for his pupils.

Tuition Golfers looking to not only enjoy their game but also to improve their handicap will find Burford an excellent choice of club.

Technique is important, but so too is decisionmaking – playing the right shot at the right time – and there is no-one better to explain this side of the game than a person who earns his living from the sport. Mike is delighted to offer on-course lessons so you can learn the thought processes behind constructing a successful round. To book a lesson, call the Pro Shop on 01993 822344.

We are very pleased to have been accredited with the GolfMark award by England Golf as a result of achieving a high standard in the coaching environment and in our care and protection of children.

Juniors Burford Golf Club is pleased to have a thriving Junior Section containing both boys and girls. There is currently a waiting list for boys.

The Junior Section actively participates in the Oxfordshire Junior League which features matches either home or away against the other eight member clubs. This gives our younger members valuable competitive experience that hopefully will stand them in good stead throughout their golfing life. The Club also runs an active schedule of competitive events internally including medals, stablefords and trophy competitions, with a presentation evening taking place at the end of the season around early October. Coaching is provided by our PGA Professional, Mike Ridge, and his staff and many coaching sessions are free to Junior members. Youngsters are not only given a fine grounding in the basics of the game, but also learn about the equally important areas of golf such as etiquette and rules.

In general, it is advisable to telephone the Pro Shop in advance on 01993 822344 to check availability as we have a full diary during the main part of the season with visiting societies, inter-club matches and Members’ competitions often being held. There are two starting points, the first and tenth holes and this generally allows the course to remain open for members and visitors whilst booked events, such as matches, tee-off from one of the start points. Whilst we do not insist on handicap certificates we do ask that our visitors can play to an adequate standard. Furthermore, we ask that they understand the etiquette of the game and the Rules of Golf.

Information for Visitors Although a private Members’ Club, Burford welcomes visitors and will try to accommodate any individual or small groups wishing to play. We can also accept County Card users.

Mobile phones are not allowed on the course or in the Clubhouse. We have a dress code at the Club, details of which can be found on our website, www.burfordgolfclub.co.uk, and ask that you follow it. Please note that denim jeans are not allowed. No visitors are allowed before 2pm on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday or Sunday.

Most societies take the opportunity of booking for the following year immediately following their round! Burford not only possesses a course that discerning golfers wish to return to play time and time again, but this is complemented by a superb catering and bar facility. The majority of our public rooms were recently renovated to a very high standard and offer comfortable yet relaxed surroundings. Our staff assure you and your visiting group of a very warm welcome.

Society Golf Days Burford is host to many visiting societies during the course of a year and we offer excellent facilities for such days. We are extremely fortunate to have an attractive yet playable course, with superb greens and fairways that are a pleasure to play on.

Societies are accepted on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. There are some opportunities for society booking on Tuesday afternoons. We normally reserve tees from 8.30am and 1.30pm for 36 holes or 10am and 1.30pm for 27 holes. Afternoon starts are preferred for 18-hole groups.

The bar is well stocked with a wide selection of bottled and draught beers, fine wines, and spirits and a choice of soft drinks. Hot and cold food is served daily seven days a week and our caterers have an excellent reputation, both with our members and visiting societies. Many of the popular traditional golfer’s favourites can be enjoyed, with a variety of additional options to choose from on the specials board, including offerings like home-made curry and home-made pies or even terrine or meze dishes.

The Clubhouse

The versatile and extensive menu means anything from a plain sandwich to a three-course meal can be enjoyed, with the traditional full Sunday lunch one of the dining highlights of the week.

The clubhouse offers great comfort and a welcoming atmosphere in which to socialise and relax either after a round of golf or as members of the Club.

A bespoke catering service can be offered for members’ functions, while in the winter months there are often themed evenings featuring dining experiences from around the world.

The formats of the competitions can vary slightly from year to year, but generally we like to host at least five events. The season starts with one of the year’s main events – our ProAm. This event is now almost unique in its format of 36-hole medal foursomes and, as a result, attracts a large entry from all over the country. We then hold the Seniors’ Open at the end of May, which tends to be a pairs betterball competition. The Captain’s Charity Day, held around early July, features four per team playing a Stableford format, while in the middle of July there is a Mixed Open, which is an 18-hole greensomes medal.

Open Competitions Burford Golf Club is always delighted to showcase its outstanding course and offers golfers of all abilities the opportunity to play here in a series of Open competitions which are held throughout the year.

July also features a Juniors’ Open, a 36-hole scratch event for younger golfers and there are Open competitions for both Ladies (18 holes) and Men (36 holes) in August. All these events conclude with a prize-giving at the end of the day and details of dates and formats, together with entry forms, are available on our Club website, www.burfordgolfclub.co.uk
