Whittlebury Park (Yellow & Red)

Golf was first played on the Whittlebury estate in 1905, evolving into the three main 9-hole loops – Yellow, Red and Blue – that are now in operation. There’s also a short par-30 White course which is maintained to the same high standards as the others.

The Yellow (1905) course measures 3,176 yards from the rear tees and plays to a par of 36. It starts off with a difficult, slightly right doglegging par four (which narrows considerably towards the green) then ends with a heavily sand-protected green on the par five 9th.

The Red (Royal Whittlewood) course extends to 3,224 yards from the back markers, with par set at 36. Water hazards come into play at several holes: to the front of the green at the par four 1st, par three 5th and par three 8th and to the left of the very tough par four 6th.
