Welcome to
South Buckinghamshire Golf Club!

Our home is The South Buckinghamshire Golf Course, which belongs to a charity

and is operated by Buckinghamshire Council.

The course is an 18 hole par 70 parkland course in the Green Belt, west of London. 

​

The Club shares the name and the logo with the course, but we are independent.

In 1971, when the Charity was founded, the Council agreed to manage and maintain the land irrespective of income generated, and this was made a local law by Parliament.

Present Day, however, the Council refuses this obligation and seeks to lease the land to some operator taking over. The legal ground for that is already questionable. But moreover the Council has picked Wycombe Wanderers FC as operator, which now proposes to transform much of the golf course into a large, fenced, mostly private football training campus. Legally, this does not sit well with the Council's second statutory obligation: not to develop any of the land other than for sport and recreation for the local community. 

​

Obviously the community is opposing the development and challenging the Council. Only as long as the situation is not resolved our club is in an imposed position of uncertainty, unable to offer membership with the guarantee of a course being available for an entire membership year.

If you wish to be notified when we operate normal again, please send an email to sbgc.secretary@hotmail.com.
