1905 Course This course was first built on the Whittlebury Estate in 1905 and was closed during WWI to grow crops. It was restored and brought up to modern standards in 1990 and golfers can again enjoy playing between the magnificent lakes and oaks in the park. Good course management is key when playing this course, as the main difficulty lies in negotiating the extremely undulating greens.
