Leighton Buzzard Golf Club is a golf club near the village of Heath and Reach, north of Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire, England. The club was founded in 1925 with a 9-hole golf course, that was later extended to 18 holes.[1] The course has been ranked as one of the best in Bedfordshire.[2]
Arthur Lacey was the club professional from 1927 to 1928. Ian Poulter was the assistant professional for several years before forging a career on the European Tour and the PGA Tour.[2]
An earlier club with a similar name, Leighton Buzzard and District Golf Club, was founded in September 1905.[3] This club took over the course formerly used by Grovebury Golf Club, and ceased to exist around 1915.[4]
