Flackwell Heath Golf Club

Founded in 1904 as Wycombe and Bourne End Golf Club before taking its present name in 1907, Flackwell Heath's original nine holes by James Sherlock were completed by professional John Turner, with later refinements by Harry Colt and Fred Hawtree. A par-71 course set on wooded Buckinghamshire heathland between Marlow and High Wycombe, it is prized for small, subtly undulating greens that writer Bernard Darwin praised for their true, velvety character.
