Venue

Ogbourne Downs Golf Club

Wiltshire, England

Ogbourne Downs Golf Club is a downland course located in Wiltshire on the Marlborough Downs, situated between Swindon and Marlborough, just 3 miles from junction 15 of the M4 motorway. The course was designed by J.H. Taylor, a five-time Open Championship winner, and is over 100 years old. Set across 200 acres of chalk downland terrain, the course benefits from excellent drainage characteristics that allow year-round playability. The layout features firm, fast fairways and fast greens that provide a challenging test, particularly in summer when conditions become firm and bouncy, and during windy conditions. The course offers outstanding views across the Marlborough Downs landscape. Ogbourne Downs is recognized as one of the finest downland golf courses in Wiltshire, praised for its superlative location, scenic views, and consistent playability throughout the seasons. The championship-standard course is welcoming to visitors and offers society packages with flexible options including 18, 27, or 36-hole configurations.
