Aylesbury Vale Golf Club

Aylesbury Vale Golf Club lies near Leighton Buzzard, a market town on the Bedfordshire-Buckinghamshire border known historically for lace-making and sand quarrying, and today within commuting distance of Milton Keynes. The course itself runs to 18 holes, playing to a par of 72 over 6,593 yards from the back markers. Practice facilities include a putting green, a chipping area, and a driving range extending beyond 250 yards with a number of grass tees alongside the mats. The layout sits in open Vale of Aylesbury countryside, flat to gently rolling ground typical of this part of the county, with the Chiltern escarpment visible to the south. Leighton Buzzard grew around its position on the old coaching road between London and the Midlands, and the surrounding parish still carries reminders of its quarrying past in the pits and cuttings that dot the landscape. The club caters for members and visiting golfers with a bar and grill on site. For a round of this length, the course offers a reasonable test without demanding a long day, making it a workable stop for visitors passing through the Vale.
