Mentmore Golf and Country Club, Golf course in Leighton Buzzard, United Kingdom
Mentmore Golf and Country Club is a golf course in Buckinghamshire featuring two 18-hole layouts set across rolling parkland dotted with lakes and wooded sections. The grounds also include an indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, a fitness center, and a clubhouse with restaurant facilities.
The club was founded in 1992 when Irish golfer David Feherty and European Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher led the opening ceremony. This marked the establishment of a major golfing destination in the Buckinghamshire area.
The course names Rothschild and Rosebery reference Baron Meyer Amschel de Rothschild, whose nearby Mentmore Towers connected this family to the region for generations. These names serve as daily reminders of the wealth and influence that shaped this corner of Buckinghamshire.
Visit planning is best approached by checking weather conditions beforehand, as the courses are fully exposed to the elements. Sturdy footwear and layered clothing will help keep you comfortable throughout your round.
The front section of the Rosebery course runs alongside a historic bridle path lined with old chestnut trees, which once connected to a breeding farm that produced Derby winners. This tree-lined route has been part of the local landscape for generations.
