Wokefield Estate Golf Course

Berkshire is renowned for its idyllic countryside, and Wokefield Estate's tranquil surroundings are no different, resulting in a beautiful place to play golf. With no fewer than nine lakes littered around the course, there is no shortage of difficulty for visiting golfers to negotiate, but the outstanding surroundings should be enough to alleviate the pain of any disappointing golf.

The course is carved through elevated trees and mature oaks, along manicured fairways and immaculate putting surfaces. Besides the abundance of water, Gaunt has incorporated and abundance of huge bunkers throughout the course which place an emphasis on course management. Be warned, the rough is very penal if you stray from the fairways – so take plenty of golf balls!

There are several memorable holes throughout the round, particularly the par 5s, which require three good shots to have any chance of making birdie. The 9th is a classic risk/reward hole, where an ambitious drive over the water can leave a wedge to the green on this 450 yard dogleg.

Wokefield Estate is home to an excellent practice complex and driving range, where the PGA professionals offer expert technical guidance.

Signature Hole: 12th – (Par 3, 195 yards)

While the par 5s are all great challenges, it’s the par 3 12th that is worthy of a postcard. You’ll need a crisply struck medium-to-long iron to carry the glistening water that stands between you and the safety of the green. Even if you find the putting surface in regulation, the green’s severe undulations will make you work for your par. A terrific and beautiful golf hole.
