Three Locks Golf Club - Premier Golf Course in Milton Keynes
Three Locks Golf Club has been a cornerstone of golfing excellence in Milton Keynes since its establishment in 1992. Founded as a 9-hole course by the Critchley family, we expanded to 18 holes in 1995, creating a challenging layout that rewards precision and strategic play. Our course, nestled alongside the Grand Union Canal and the River Ouzel, features natural water hazards and over 10,000 trees planted in collaboration with the Forestry Commission, offering a mature and scenic environment. Managed by Peter and Patrice Critchley, with their son Patrick serving as resident professional, we combine decades of family expertise with modern facilities, including a contemporary clubhouse for private and corporate events.Our commitment to maintaining exceptional course conditions year-round ensures a rewarding experience for golfers of all skill levels. The clubhouse, housed in a modern barn conversion, provides a welcoming space with panoramic views, complemented by tailored services for birthdays, corporate gatherings, and golf-focused packages. With a focus on course management and natural beauty, we pride ourselves on delivering a true golfer's course where every round is both a challenge and a pleasure.
