Members Meeting – Beaconsfield Golf Club – 2nd April 2019

Event History

This pre-season event has previously been played at Denham and Gerrards Cross Golf Club and provides a relaxing opportunity for a get-together, some golf and a venue for the Golf Society AGM. This year, we plan to go to Beaconsfield Golf Club for our early season opener. It is a golf course with a great pedigree

The Course

Beaconsfield is a beautifully presented, classic HS “Harry” Colt designed course (Par 72 SSS 72) which measures 6575 yards and opened in 1914. The course remains basically the same as when it was originally designed and has many of his trademark features. In particular it is very well bunkered and has unusually large greens. Each of the holes has its own character and is separated from its neighbouring holes by mature mixed woodland. The practise facilities are excellent and range tokens are available from the Professional.

Notes for Players
