ChilterN oresT FGolf Club THE COURSE AND IT’S HISTORY Ranked as one of Buckinghamshire’s favourite courses, Chiltern Forest is definitely worth a visit. It may not be long at 5,800 yards, but it is an enjoyable and challenging par 70 that tests even the low handicap player. Golf in some form has been played here since the 1890s when the land was owned by Baron Alfred de Rothschild and has developed from its original six-hole layout into the current 18 holes. In 1919 the Government purchased the complete estate and the course became part of RAF Halton.

During WW2 three times Open Champion Henry Cotton was stationed at the camp – he’d been professional at nearby Ashridge – and was instrumental in the design and expansion of the course to nine holes. Indeed, it is Cotton’s Folly - the 216 yard 17th uphill par 3 - that recognises his contribution to our history. In the mid 1980s the club decided to acquire land adjacent to the course and extend it to the 18 holes you will experience today. Much of the land was purchased from the Forestry Commission, so many of the additional nine holes look far older than they actually are because a great deal of established trees were left in place when the forest was cleared.

The holes opened for play in 1992.

THE COURSE AND IT’S HISTORY (CONTINUED)...

Our greens staff work hard to present a course that is in excellent condition throughout the year. We challenge you to find a better “year round” golf course in the area, as we are extremely fortunate to have a chalk-base soil that drains superbly in the wetter months, but retains moisture in the drier ones.

The club’s commitment to continually improving the course is shown by our investment in the latest green-keeping equipment and methods, and the continued improvement to our layout by our rolling development programme. We are sure that once you have experienced Chiltern Forest Golf Club you will agree that it is indeed a “Jewel in the Chilterns” and will be back to play it again and again.

PLAYING GOLF AT CHILTERN FOREST As a private members’ club, Chiltern Forest prides itself on catering for all golfing needs. Competitions are held on a regular basis for all our membership categories and abilities. In addition, we have a number of club teams playing both formal and informal matches against other local clubs, including our men’s scratch side, men’s handicap side, ladies teams, and various mixed, senior and junior matches.

We are also proud of the fact that members can have access to the course without having to book a tee time. Coupled to the numerous “roll-ups”that occur throughout the week, it means that even on your own you will never struggle to find a partner for a game. In addition, our “Buddy” scheme for new members – where an existing member looks after a new member in his or her first few months – ensures that you will be fully welcomed and integrated into the club.
