Burnham Beeches Golf Club is a golf club, located in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England. Established in 1891, it is the oldest golf club in Buckinghamshire.
Burnham Beeches' 18-hole golf course was built on land owned by the City of London Corporation. In 1909 the land was bought by Lord Burnham and leased to the club.[1] It continued to be leased from the Burnham Trust until 2014, when the club purchased the land outright.[2] [3] Early in the twentieth century, J.H. Taylor was consulted on changes to the course.[4]
In 1984, Burnham Beeches hosted the White Horse Whisky Challenge, a tournament on the WPGA circuit,[5] which later became known as the Ladies European Tour. The winner of the tournament was Federica Dassù of Italy.
