Nestling in the folds of the Bedfordshire-Buckinghamshire border, Leighton Buzzard Golf Club has a history dating back to 1925 and is acclaimed as one of the prettiest and most challenging courses in the region.
Carved out of woodland and sandy grazing land, at 6,100 yards, the Leighton course may not be the longest in the county but demands the highest standards of accuracy and is aptly described as “a thinking man’s golf course.”
From the opening drive on the 422-yard Par 4 first to the final tee and a blind 367 yard return to the spacious new club house, the Leighton course presents a rich variety of challenges, nine holes described by golfing legend Henry Longhurst as “the second best nine holes in the country”, and three of the toughest finishing holes most golfers will ever experience.
Wedged between a dog-legged 10th and the elevated 465-yard Par 4 12th is a Par 3 which Longhurst described as outstanding in his book “The Nine Most Beautiful Golf Holes in England.” Located in an area known to be the site of Iron Age earthworks and encampments dating back to 40 AD, it is irons of a different kind which figure prominently today on a course and a club where Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter honed his skills.
