Denham Artisans Golf Club

Denham Artisans Golf Club shares its course with Denham Golf Club, an arrangement rooted in the club's origins in 1910 near Uxbridge on the Buckinghamshire border. The course itself was laid out the following year by Harry Colt, one of the most prolific designers in British golf, built around a group of farm buildings dating back to the sixteenth century that were converted into the clubhouse still in use today. Standing on gravel subsoil, the ground drains freely, keeping the course playable through wet spells that would leave heavier clay-based courses waterlogged. The layout runs to 27 holes in total, with two of the nines starting and finishing close to the historic clubhouse, a configuration that suits both two-tee starts for larger fields and extended outings across all three nines in a single visit. Artisan golf clubs of this kind trace back to a long British tradition of local tradesmen forming their own affiliated sections within an established club, playing the same course under a separate identity and often at different times or rates from the main membership. At Denham, that tradition sits alongside more than a century of continuous golf on Colt's original parkland design, giving members access to a course whose character has changed little since 1911.
