Golf Course

Founded in 1888 and set in the beautiful rolling Marlborough Downs, the course presents a real challenge to the low handicapper - the Wiltshire Professional Championship has been held at Marlborough for the last 17 years - at the same time as providing a fair test for those with higher handicaps.

The back 9 are played on 117 year old turf; indeed the hole layouts are largely unchanged . The course was extended to 18 holes in 1970.

Being set mainly on the chalk of the Marlborough Downs, the course drains exceptionally well and normally provides good golf in even the most trying of winter conditions.

At 6,501 yards from the White tees (6,209 from the Yellow tees and 5,578 from the Ladies tees), Marlborough's downland course is a fair challenge for low handicappers and less experienced player alike.
