Wiltshire

The Wiltshire County Golf Union was founded in 1924 and there are now 24 clubs affiliated to the Union with around thirty courses across the county. Wiltshire is one of the smaller English golfing counties, but it has some wonderful courses that are not as well known outside the local area as they should be.

  1. Bowood

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    Few approaches to golf clubs are as grand as the entrance to the 2,000-acre Bowood Estate and there is a lovely feeling of peace and spaciousness here at the Bowood Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort.

  2. Manor House Golf Club

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    Situated on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, the Manor House Hotel and Golf Club is set magnificently in 365 acres of rolling countryside.

  3. Tidworth Garrison

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    The undulating downland course at Tidworth Garrison Golf Club was described by Peter Alliss as "a gem of a course on the edge of Salisbury Plain".

  4. Cumberwell Park (Red & Yellow)

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    Patience is key to scoring well at Cumberwell Park Golf Club. There's a couple of extremely testing par fives and a number of well designed short holes.

  5. High Post

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    With stunning views over Salisbury Plain, High Post Golf Club – founded in 1922 – is an intriguing downland golf course that is named after the site of an ancient gallows-pole.

  6. North Wilts

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    The course at North Wilts Golf Club is a quintessential, lie-of-the land downland test that is regularly used for national and county matches. There’s even an ancient, deep cockfighting pit to negotiate as a rather unusual hazard.

  7. Kingsdown

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    Established in 1880, Kingsdown is the oldest golf club in Wiltshire and the course is set on high downland where there are far-reaching views to the spa city of Bath.

  8. Salisbury and South Wilts (Cathedral)

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    Salisbury and South Wilts Golf Club dates back to 1888 and the club has expanded to today's 27-hole facility. Simon Gidman designed the main Cathedral course in 1991 and it affords panoramic views over the medieval City of Salisbury.

  9. Cumberwell Park Golf Club’s first course opened for play in 1994. Adrian Stiff returned to add a further nine holes in 1999 and came back to complete the fourth nine in 2007 to create what's now the Blue and Orange layout.

  10. Ogbourne Downs

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    F. G. Hawtree, founder of the British Golf Greenkeepers Association, and 5-time Open Champion J. H. Taylor designed and built the course at Ogbourne Downs Golf Club.

  11. Wrag Barn

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    Designed by Simon Gidman in 1990 when the architect was with Hawtree Ltd, the Wrag Barn golf course is set in more than 200 acres that once formed part of Lord Banbury's Estate.

  12. Upavon

    Wiltshire, England

    Uphaven Golf Club owes its existence to the nearby airfield, and the establishment of a base for the Royal Flying Corps in 1912. A 9-hole golf course was quickly brought into use back then, along with facilities for cricket, tennis, football and a few other outdoor sports.

  13. West Wilts

    Wiltshire, England

    Established in 1891, West Wilts Golf Club operates a J.H. Taylor-designed 18-hole layout from a hilltop position above Warminster, affording panoramic views across three counties. The natural chalk landscape affords great drainage properties, meaning the course is rarely closed due to heavy rain.

  14. Chippenham

    Wiltshire, England

    Formed in 1896, Chippenham Golf Club started out with a 7-hole layout which was later extended to nine holes before Harry Colt was called in to expand the course to eighteen holes in 1932.

  15. Marlborough

    Wiltshire, United Kingdom

    Marlborough Golf Club was founded in 1888. Nine holes of the course in play today were laid out across free-draining downland by Tom Simpson and Herbert Fowler in 1920, J Hamilton Stutt added a second nine in 1974.
