Defence Academy Golf Club
Parkland Course in Swindon, England
Nestled within the grounds of the Defence Academy in Shrivenham, Oxfordshire, the Defence Academy Golf Club offers a parkland golf experience with a unique layout. Established in 1956, the course is designed to be enjoyable for players of all abilities, from beginners to more experienced golfers. The 18 holes are achieved through a clever combination of 14 greens and 17 tees, ensuring each hole presents a distinct challenge. The course itself is characterised by mature trees and water hazards in the form of ditches. It measures 5684 yards from the yellow tees with a par of 70. While not a championship venue or a frequent host of Open Qualifying, it provides a pleasant round in a tranquil setting.
