Chiltern Forest Golf Club 05

WelcomeChiltern Forest is an 18-hole private members’ golf club that nestles on the northern edge of the Chiltern Hills near Aylesbury. Easily accessible from all parts of Buckinghamshire and beyond, it provides an excellent opportunity for all those wishing to join a golf club. Whether you are an established player or someone simply wishing to take up the game, we offer a wide range of membership options.

In addition, the club’s facilities and location provide the perfect venue for societies and organisations looking to arrange a golf day. Whatever level of golfing experience you require, the club’s management committee and staff will make sure that every need is fully catered for.

There is an active social side to Chiltern Forest, and our members are never short of entertainment with a wide variety of events being enjoyed at the club throughout the year. Our stunning setting and outstanding service are an enticing combination that makes us an ideal location for functions such as weddings and birthday parties.

On behalf of the management committee, members and staff, may I offer our warmest welcome. We all look forward to you enjoying your golf at what has been described as “The Jewel in the Chilterns”.

Anthony Roberts, General Manager

06 Chiltern Forest Golf Club

The course and its historyRanked as one of Buckinghamshire’s favourite courses, Chiltern Forest is definitely worth a visit. It may not be long at 5,800 yards, but it is an enjoyable and challenging par 70 that tests even the low handicap player. Golf in some form has been played here since the 1890s when the land was owned by Baron Alfred de Rothschild and has developed from its original six-hole layout into the current 18 holes. In 1919 the Government purchased the complete estate and the course became part of RAF Halton.

During WW2 three times Open Champion Henry Cotton was stationed at the camp – he’d been professional at nearby Ashridge – and was instrumental in the design

and expansion of the course to nine holes. Indeed, it is Cotton’s Folly - the 216 yard 17th uphill par 3 - that recognises his contribution to our history.

In the mid 1980s the club decided to acquire land adjacent to the course and extend it to the 18 holes you will experience today. Much of the land was purchased from the Forestry Commission, so many of the additional nine holes look far older than they actually are because a great many established trees were left in place when the forest was cleared. The holes opened for play in 1992, with a Pro-Celebrity competition taking place to mark the occasion.

Chiltern Forest Golf Club 07

Our green-keeping staff work hard to present a course that is in excellent condition throughout the year. We challenge you to find a better “year round” golf course in the area, as we are extremely fortunate to have a chalk-base soil that drains superbly in the wetter months, but retains moisture in the drier ones.

Nature lovers will delight at the abundance of interesting plants and wildlife all over our course. Muntjac, a small species of deer originally imported from China as ornamental animals, can be frequently seen darting across some fairways and there are also sightings of fallow deer. Birdlife thrives, with three species of woodpecker, the tiny goldcrest and the rarely-seen firecrest all inhabiting these parts.

The club’s commitment to continually improving the course is shown by our investment in the latest green-keeping equipment and methods, and the continued improvement to our layout by our rolling development programme. Never satisfied with being outstanding, it is the never-ending pursuit of perfection that drives us and makes us the club of choice for the discerning golfer. We are sure that once you have experienced Chiltern Forest Golf Club you will agree that it is indeed a “Jewel in the Chilterns” and will be back to play it again and again.

TEMPIETTO was established in 1998, to provide professional architectural services to private individuals and property developers in South East England.

Much of the work of TEMPIETTO has been in sensitive locations. The ability of the practice to produce modern and traditional design solutions that are suitable for their context are essential ingredients of its success and reputation for gaining planning consents. This has enabled the realisation of projects on challenging sites often with numerous planning and heritage constraints. It has also resulted in the receipt of a commendation in the Natural Stone Awards 2002 for their work in the repair and conversion of Little Gaddesden Lodge, a commendation in the Daily Mail National Homebuilder Design Awards 2004 for their design of a new house in Beaconsfield and the Berkhamsted Citizens Association Environment Award for 2006 for the conversion and extension of Castle Mill in Berkhamsted into fifteen apartments.

TEMPIETTO’s aim is to produce distinctive buildings by responding sensitively to the challenges of individual sites and the desires of our clients. Our design skills are supported by a sound understanding of historic and modern buildings, building regulations, planning legislation and government advice, which are invaluable in achieving the aspirations of our clients. As Contract Administrators, we establish a good rapport with clients, engineers, project managers and contractors, enabling projects to be fully realised.

TEMPIETTO is always conscious that land and buildings are important and valuable resources. Whilst aiming to deliver creative designs that are sustainable and harmonise with their surroundings, the functional requirements of buildings and interiors and the maximisation of value are important factors that are always given full consideration.

TEMPIETTO offer a wide range of architectural services, varying from advice on improving energy efficiency and repairs to historic buildings to a full architectural service. They aim to provide clients with sound advice that often saves them time and expense and which results in adding value to their homes.

Why choose us:Great design and our ability to determine the best planning strategy to ensure the greatest chance of success.

We can guide you through projects from start to finish.

Chiltern Forest Golf Club 09

Playing golf at Chiltern ForestAs a private members’ club, Chiltern Forest prides itself on catering for all golfing needs. Competitions are held on a regular basis for all our membership categories and abilities. In addition, we have a number of club teams playing both formal and informal matches against other local clubs, including our men’s scratch side, men’s handicap side, ladies teams, and various mixed, senior and junior matches.

We are also proud of the fact that members can have access to the course without having to book a tee time. Coupled to the numerous “roll-ups” that occur throughout the week, it means that even on your own

you will never struggle to find a partner for a game. In addition, our “Buddy” scheme for new members – where an existing member looks after a new member in his or her first few months – ensures that you will be fully welcomed and integrated into the club.

Of course we are not a club that allows only members to play. We actively welcome the casual player and those who wish to arrange a society or corporate golf day. A range of green fees and society packages is available and you are encouraged to either view the separate section on societies, visit our website www.chilternforest.co.uk, or contact the secretary for details.

Chiltern Foot Health ServicesIt is unwise to neglect or delay attention to your feet when there is discomfort - it puts you “off your stroke” or maybe off work ...

Common foot health needs include caring for nails - trimming and filing, attention to fungal nails and in-growing nails. Various skin problems may need examination and treatment, including corns, verrucae, bone and tissue conditions.

Based primarily in Wendover and Stoke Mandeville, I qualified as a Foot Health Practitioner in 2005 through the SMAE Institute in Maidenhead.

I have an extensive private practice with the option of seeing patients at a surgery or at home.

greensomes and sometimes better-ball stableford.

TuitionGolf can be a difficult game to master, you only have to watch the touring pros on television who play the game for a living to have this view confirmed. What chance, then the casual player who has so many other demands on his or her time? It may not be possible to break par on a regular basis, but professional tuition, combined with dedication and practice, can lead to a significant improvement in performance.

With a greater understanding of your strengths and weaknesses you can better assess how to realise your own potential and enjoy the personal satisfaction that comes from its achievement. Goal-setting in golf, as in life, can be richly rewarding.

Our professional staff are available seven days a week

for individual or group lessons for all ages and abilities. We offer simple, easy-to-understand instruction tailored to the individual player’s needs, with video available if required. We deliver top advice on technique and, importantly, course management to players of all standards.

At Chiltern Forest we are keen to encourage younger players to take up the game and Simon Perks, our head professional, offers a tailored package of lessons at discounted rates, which teaches youngsters all aspects of the game; chipping, pitching and putting, driving, iron shots plus course etiquette.

Ladies’ sectionThe Ladies’ Section at Chiltern Forest is a friendly, active group of ladies of all ages, who enjoy their golf and who play regularly in competitions, matches, mixed events and socially. They also enjoy the opportunities to get together and make good use of the club’s catering facilities.

At Chiltern Forest, unlike many other clubs, ladies’ competitions take place on both Saturdays and Mondays, so ladies with work or family commitments can always get a competitive round of golf. Monthly medals and monthly stablefords are played on both Saturdays and Mondays, and the majority of the numerous major competitions also take place on Saturdays, including the Ladies Championship - a 36-hole event played over Saturday and Sunday.

Additionally, we have various knock-out and eclectic competitions which can take place at any time. In addition to our formal competitions, there are ‘roll-ups’ on Saturdays and Mondays when there is no competition scheduled. There are also league fixtures against other clubs. At Chiltern Forest the opportunity to play for your club is always there - there is no ‘elite’ squad and if you volunteer to play you will have a good chance of being selected.

We are very welcoming to new members so, if you are thinking about joining a golf club in the area, contact the General Manager, Anthony Roberts (01923 631267), and arrange to come and see the course and meet a member of the Ladies Committee.

Its location offers unrivalled views across Aylesbury Vale towards Mentmore and Leighton Buzzard – and its outdoor terrace looks out over the tough 17th and 18th finishing holes.

The clubhouse bar and catering is run by Andy and Diana Shaw. With 10 years’ experience in golf club hospitality, they pride themselves on offering a warm and courteous welcome to members and visitors alike.

The bar is well stocked with a wide range of beverages to suit everyone’s need. Our two fine real ales, Batemans XB

and Fullers London Pride are always a favourite amongst members and are always kept in fine condition. For those who prefer something a little less intoxicating there are plenty of soft drinks to choose from.

Chiltern Forest Golf Club 31

SocialApart from the joy of testing your golfing skills in such a delightful setting, there are numerous other ways to enjoy what we have to offer. There is a very active social side to Chiltern Forest Golf Club and special events take place throughout the year.

One of the traditional highlights is Burns Night where we gather to pay homage to arguably Scotland’s finest export (aside from golf, that is). The clubhouse is decorated accordingly and is truly a sight to behold.

Members get the chance to dress up in their finery for the highly-popular summer ball, while the celebrations on Captain’s Day are always eagerly awaited.

The club holds regular entertainment group meetings to discuss and arrange social functions for the benefit of members and their friends. Among the successful and original ideas to come from this have been a Caribbean BBQ with a live Steel Band and an Arabian Night with a belly dancer. We regularly hold Quiz Nights and 2011 sees a Race Night with plenty of audience participation.

Make new friends and enjoy many a fine night’s entertainment by availing yourself of a social membership at our popular club.
