Course

Originally opened for play in December 1896, the course has seen many improvements since then. At 6364 yards Maidenhead Golf Course is tight with small, well protected greens. Miss them in the wrong place and you have little chance of rescuing your par.

Set in 150 acres of splendid woodland, Maidenhead Golf Club is reasonably flat and is not too tiring for 36 holes of play. It has several feature holes which include the 4th, a lengthy par 4 measuring 474 yards. A long, accurate drive is essential to give you a chance of reaching the green in two, and then you can be faced with a demanding putt if the pin is on the back tier. The 13th, a 145yard par 3, is all carry. Visitors very often underclub and finish in the pit.

Beware the 8th. Look carefully at what awaits you if you are short and left of the green, and make sure you aim your second shot at the right place. Shots failing to make the green leave you with a very interesting recovery. Finally, the 18th provides a truly great finishing hole which demands a good drive and accurate second shot, with the Clubhouse and an Out of Bounds line directly behind the green.

This is a great golf course that has stood the test of time and when you conquer it you will really have had the game of your life. Come and try it!
