What Buckingham Golf Club does

Buckingham Golf Club is a private members golf club founded in 1914 and headquartered on Tingewick Road in Buckingham, Buckinghamshire, UK, operating as a Members' Club since the early 1920s. Its core asset is an 18-hole par-71 championship parkland course of 6,162 yards (white-tee rating 70.3, slope 134), supported by USGA-specification greens installed in 2004, a 2021 irrigation upgrade, a 10-bay covered driving range with 100/150/200-yard targets (opened 2014 in partnership with the Markham Trust), and an indoor Swing Studio fitted with GC Quad launch-monitor hardware for swing analysis, club fitting and game simulation. Operational technology is built on standard golf-club SaaS: ClubV1 for member portal and handicap records, BRS Golf for online tee-time booking, HowDidiDo.com for score tracking, and Golf Genius (new for 2026) for tournament management with real-time scoring and World Handicap System compatibility. The clubhouse includes a balcony-overlooking restaurant, bar, terrace, and the Radclive Room function suite, with PGA professional Greg Hannah running the Pro Shop for lessons, club fitting and equipment sales.

The business operates a diversified revenue model with six primary streams: recurring annual membership subscriptions (Full 7-Day tiered by age from £565 to £1,675, plus Midweek £1,435, Academy £350, Junior £180-£250, Social £30+VAT, and Driving Range-only £100+VAT), visitor green fees (£65 weekday, £85 weekend, with twilights and junior rates), society and corporate group packages (from £36 winter), Pro Shop sales and lessons, clubhouse hospitality and private functions, and hole sponsorship packages (£1,000+VAT and above). Marketing is executed through a website with BRS booking integration, social media, email newsletters, school outreach via Golf Foundation, open competitions, and local sponsorships. Membership applications are by existing-member recommendation or direct contact with the General Manager. The club holds reciprocal playing arrangements with 14 partner clubs across five counties, is a Women in Golf Charter signatory, holds SafeGolf certification, and is a recognised BB&O Talent Development Program host venue.
