Gerrards Cross golf course is set in parkland with extensive wooded areas. Beech and oak trees characteristic in this area of Buckinghamshire feature on many holes and the course is particularly attractive in Spring and Autumn.
The Course measures 6,243 yards from the white tees with one par 5 and four par 3s. The course par of 69 provides a good test of golf, confirmed by a SSS of 70. The course demands and rewards accurate play.
The Views across the Misbourne valley from the elevated tees at the 2nd and 18th tees are a delight. The 18th in particular is a memorable finishing hole and certainly the most difficult in the county. It demands a well-placed drive and a long second shot from a downhill lie over the River Misbourne which is only a few yards short of the green. Reaching the green safely in two shots would be the highlight of any visit but is only a dream for most high handicap golfers.
Four Par 3 holes are different in character. The 5th, 13th and 16th require a tee shot that carries to the green to take the rough and bunkers out of play.
The 8th is a little more forgiving but none can be taken for granted as a routine par and anyone carding three for for all four holes will walk off the course content.
The 7th hole at 531yds is the only par 5 on the course, a right angled dog leg at about 200 yards prevents all but very long hitters reaching the green in two shots.
Our Hole by Hole pages offer plans for 18 holes, a two photo slide show and a brief description of each hole.
