About Golf in Peterborough

Peterborough is a cathedral city on the edge of the Cambridgeshire fens - its magnificent Norman cathedral and historic core surrounded by open countryside and gentle parkland. Its golf is honest, well-maintained, and excellent value. The Peterborough area offers a range of parkland courses in attractive settings, with a James Braid design at the heart of the local golf scene.

Why Gift Golf Lessons in Peterborough?

Peterborough Milton Golf Club is the premier venue in the area. Designed and constructed by James Braid and John R. Stutt in the mid-1930s, the course is set in splendid parkland within the historic Fitzwilliam Estate. Braid - one of the Great Triumvirate and a five-time Open Champion - brought his characteristic blend of strategic challenge and visual beauty to this Cambridgeshire parkland, and the course remains a fine example of his work.

Elton Furze Golf Club, roughly nine miles from the city, is an attractive parkland course with tree-lined fairways, water hazards, and a well-regarded clubhouse. Thorpe Wood Golf Club, just three miles from the city centre, offers 18 holes of well-maintained parkland at outstanding value - green fees from around £21 make it one of the most affordable quality courses in the region. Orton Meadows Golf Club, equally close to the city, provides another accessible option with excellent maintenance.
