Cambridgeshire

The Cambridgeshire Area Golf Union is the governing body for the approximately 10,000 male golfers in the county who are members of 19 affiliated clubs. The Union is one of ten that form the Midland Golf Union – a body established in 1897 – and CAGU was the last to join in 1950. The Cambs and Hunts Women’s Golf Ltd looks after the interests of female golfers who are in membership of one the 19 clubs affiliated to the association. The region doesn’t exactly bristle with world-class golf courses but the 36-hole complex at Gog Magog, the delightful parkland course at Saffron Walden and the unique Links Newmarket, stand head and shoulders above the crowd. Gog Magog's Old and Wandlebury courses are both challenging and the Old is a genuine centurion that has hosted the Lagonda Trophy since 1975 with Lee Westwood and Luke Donald among the previous winners. Our Cambridgeshire golf course rankings were updated in December 2023.

  1. Gog Magog (Old)

    Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

    Gog Magog (Old)

    Gog Magog isn't the biblical final opponent of Israel, nor is it located in the heart of Wales, it's Cambridgeshire's favourite golf club...

  2. Saffron Walden Golf Club

    Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

    Saffron Walden Golf Club

    Laid out within the surrounds of Audley End House, the course at Saffron Walden Golf Club was expanded to a full 18-hole layout in 1975 and its fairways are routed close to the 193-foot spire of St Mary’s Parish Church.

  3. Gog Magog (Wandlebury)

    Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

    Gog Magog (Wandlebury)

    Golfers first played on the Hawtree-designed Wandlebury 18-hole layout at Gog Magog Golf Club in 1999. Eight years later, the R&A used the golf course for Open Championship Regional Qualifying.

  4. Links Golf Club - Newmarket

    Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

    Links Golf Club - Newmarket

    Built on a former Newmarket steeplechase course and polo grounds, the original 18 holes at Links Golf Club were set out in 1902. Colonel S.V. Hotchkin redesigned the layout in the 1930s and this stylish course is still the one that golfers play today.

  5. Ely City

    Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

    Ely City

    The origins of Ely City Golf Club go back to the late 1950s but Henry Cotton designed the parkland course that's in play today when its 1973 opening was marked by a match between Lee Trevino and Hugh Baiocchi.

  6. St Ives

    Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

    St Ives

    St Ives (Hunts) Golf Club began with a 9-holer in 1923, but in the new millennium the club acquired Giffords Farm, an expansive 230-acre site, and commissioned Cameron Sinclair to lay out a new 18-hole course, which Robert Karlsson opened in 2010.

  7. Brampton Park

    Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

    Brampton Park

    The course at Brampton Park Golf Club is a Martin Hawtree and Simon Gidman design, which opened for play in 1991. Woods and lakes abound, with the fairways winding around an undulating parkland landscape.

  8. Elton Furze

    Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

    Elton Furze

    First opened for play in 1993, Roger Fitton routed the parkland fairways at Elton Furze Golf Club in two distinct 9-hole circuits, each returning to the clubhouse.

  9. Nene Park (Thorpe Wood)

    Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

    Nene Park (Thorpe Wood)

    Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas designed the Thorpe Wood golf course at Nene Park Golf Club. It’s one of the region’s best pay-and-play facilities and it’s also a serious test from the 7,086-yard tips.

  10. Cambridge Country Club

    Cambridgeshire, England

    Cambridge Country Club

    Opened as Bourn Golf & Leisure in 1991, the 18-hole layout at Cambridge Golf & Country Club occupies a 120-acre rolling property outside the little village of Bourn, where golfing fairways have replaced the farming fields that were once in place here.
