Few golf clubs in England carry quite the lived-in character of Chesham and Ley Hill, a course that winds across the common land of Ley Hill village in the Chiltern Hills of Buckinghamshire. Common land golf has a particular flavour — the public right of way, the occasional wandering dog, the sense that the course exists in negotiation with the landscape rather than imposed upon it — and this club embodies that tradition with some pride. It is one of the shorter tests in the Home Counties, but the undulating Chiltern terrain, heathland turf, and mature trees demand precision over power.
Chesham itself sits in a valley carved by the River Chess, and the surrounding area is archetypal Chilterns: beech woodland, chalk downland, and the kind of English countryside that looks unchanged across generations. The local golf scene is quietly competitive, with several well-regarded clubs within a short drive through the lanes.
At par 67, this is a course that rewards course management and a sharp short game. Players who arrive expecting a relaxed hit will find the common's natural contours have other ideas.
