Nestled in the heart of Buckingham, the historic Stowe Golf Club boasts a rich legacy that dates back to the 1920s. Synonymous with the game of golf, this municipal gem has stood the test of time, offering both enthusiasts and novices an exceptional golfing experience. Notable golfing legends P.B. "Laddie" Lucas and John Langley honed their skills on these hallowed fairways, a testament to the club's enduring commitment to fostering talent.
A crowning jewel within the Stowe estate, the club's new golf course was unveiled on a momentous day - 17 May 2020. Stretching over 6,400 yards with a par of 70, the course's architectural marvel stems from the creative genius of Jonathan Tucker, a revered golf course architect from STRI. Andrew Hancox, Stowe's esteemed PGA Golf Professional and Head of Golf, lent his invaluable consultancy to ensure every inch met the standards of excellence. The greens, constructed following the guidelines of the USGA, offer a riveting challenge tailored to golfers of all skill levels.
For those eager to perfect their short game, Stowe's offerings are truly unmatched. A dedicated short game practice facility, complemented by three outdoor practice nets, beckons golfers to refine their chipping, pitching, putting, and bunker prowess. And for those seeking cutting-edge insights into their swing mechanics, the state-of-the-art indoor teaching studio, inaugurated in 2021, boasts TrackMan Performance and GASP high-speed cameras for detailed swing analysis.
Steeped in history since its foundation in 1935, the Stowe Golf Club has flourished as a 9-hole parkland course, inviting players to bask in its scenic beauty while taking on the challenges of a par 70 layout. Under the guidance of the affable Professional Andrew Hancox, the Pro Shop stands as a haven for golfing enthusiasts, offering a range of services and equipment to elevate every golfer's journey.
In a world where golf evolves with each swing, Stowe Golf Club remains a timeless sanctuary where tradition and modernity seamlessly merge. Whether you're chasing the perfect swing or relishing in the legacy of champions past, Stowe welcomes all to its storied fairways.
