The Three Locks Golf Club

The Three Locks Golf Club sits in the village of Great Brickhill in Buckinghamshire, taking its name from the nearby Grand Union Canal locks that define the local landscape. The course was designed by MRM Sandow, a firm known for parkland layouts across the English Midlands and Home Counties during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The routing occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Buckinghamshire, where the landscape transitions between the clay vale and higher ground. The design works within the natural topography to create variety across the eighteen holes, with mature tree lines and hedgerows framing many fairways. Water features appear on several holes, reflecting the area's canal heritage and drainage patterns. The course serves primarily as a members' club, offering a traditional parkland experience without the championship length or severe hazards found at tournament venues, but with enough strategic interest to reward accurate play and course management. Great Brickhill lies between Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard, placing The Three Locks within reach of golfers from both the immediate rural community and the larger urban centers nearby. The club operates in the established tradition of English members' clubs, where the course provides the central focus for regular play and social activity throughout the season.
