THE LAMBOURNE GOLF CLUB
🏴 Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England
Designed by Donald Steel
The Lambourne occupies gently rolling farmland in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, roughly midway between Windsor and the Chiltern Hills. Designed by Donald Steel and opened in 1992, the course represents Steel's approach to parkland golf on a relatively compact site, with strategic bunkering and thoughtful green complexes that reward accuracy over distance. The layout makes efficient use of its acreage, with several holes playing across or alongside natural contours that add dimension to what might otherwise be flat terrain.
Steel routed the course to incorporate existing hedgerows and mature trees, giving the property a settled, established feel despite its relatively recent construction. Water features come into play on a handful of holes, most notably around the turn, where ponds and streams require careful club selection. The greens are typically well-defended and feature subtle internal movement, demanding precise approach play. Par is 72, and the course measures just over 6,700 yards from the back tees, though multiple tee options accommodate a range of abilities.
The Lambourne Golf Club operates as a members' club with a welcoming atmosphere common to many Buckinghamshire courses. The clubhouse provides traditional amenities and overlooks the 18th green. The course hosts regular club competitions and serves as a home venue for members seeking a well-maintained, strategic test of golf within easy reach of London and the M4 corridor.
