HISTORYAlthough the estate has a recorded history of over 900 years, it was John Penn (1760-1834), a soldier, scholar and poet, who was responsible for most of what can still be seen at the estate today. James Wyatt, architect to George III, worked on the development of The mansion and monuments from 1790 to 1813. In 1791, Humphry Repton was commissioned to upgrade the Lancelot “Capability” Brown’s landscaping of the grounds. The estate was used as a private residence until 1908.

Nick “Pa” Lane Jackson, founder of The Corinthians, purchased the estate and created Stoke Park, Britain’s first Country Club. One of his first objectives was to commission the famous amateur golfer and course architect Harry Colt to design the golf course.

HISTORYThe first President was His Highness Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein and the first Vice-President was the Right Honourable Earl Howe.

In his 1910 book, ‘The Golf Courses of the British Isles’, Bernard Darwin wrote: “Stoke Park is a beautiful estate, and there is very good golf to be played there. There are plenty of things to do besides playing golf. We may get very hot at lawn tennis or keep comparatively cool at bowls or croquet, or, coolest of all, we may sit on the terrace or in the garden and give ourselves wholly and solely to loafing.”

mOVIES AT STOKE PARKStoke Park has always had a close relationship with Pinewood Studios (five miles away) and the British film industry. Two James Bond movies, Goldfinger (1964) and Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) were filmed at Stoke Park. The epic duel between James Bond (Sean Connery) and Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) is still considered to be the most famous game of golf in cinematic history. And who can forget Oddjob, Goldfinger's manservant, decapitating the statue with his flying bowler hat outside the front of the mansion!

The famous ‘mini break’ and rowing scenes from Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) were filmed in the Great Hall, lakes and The Pennsylvania Suite with Hugh Grant, Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth.

In 2004, three movies were released all featuring Stoke Park: Wimbledon, Bride & Prejudice and matthew Vaughn’s Layer Cake. In Wimbledon, Paul Bettany is featured on the grass tennis courts. Layer Cake featured Stoke Park in many scenes including the dramatic ending with Daniel Craig and Sienna miller, filmed on the mansion’s front steps.

Guy Ritchie’s 2008 movie RockNRolla also featured the grass tennis courts and the 21st green.

In 2010, we welcomed madonna to Stoke Park to film scenes of her Wallace Simpson biopic, W.E and in 2012, Cameron Diaz and Oscar winner, Javier Bardem, shot scenes on the golf course for Ridley Scott's movie, The Counselor.

‘Top 50 Stay and Play Resorts in Britain’ GOLF mONTHLY

GOLFSet within Stoke Park's 300 acre estate, the famous 27 hole Championship golf course, is undisputedly one of the finest parkland courses in the country. The course itself has seen many impressive rounds in its prestigious history, including the first PGA matchplay tournament in 1910 and James Bond's epic golfing duel in the 1964 classic 007 movie 'Goldfinger'.Residents have use of Stoke Park’s golf course, driving range (grass and all-weather) putting green and short game practice areas (green fees apply).The golf course was designed by the acclaimed golf course architect, Harry Colt. It was opened in July 1909 and received immediate acclaim: “If there were no palatial clubhouse and no beautiful gardens and grounds, the course itself would take a great deal of beating anywhere. Colt, to whom belongs the credit of designing it, has scored a great success and his reputation as a green architect, already high, will be greatly enhanced by this the latest of his works.” (Golf Illustrated, 1909).“It does have Colt’s finest single hole, the seventh, which was the inspiration for Augusta National’s notorious twelfth, Amen Corner.” (Today’s Golfer, 1992). Stoke Park also boasts a newly installed state-of-the-art swing studio. This indoor facility offers the best teaching and club fitting technology, allowing for a truly interactive golf lesson where swings can be viewed immediately on the plasma screens enhanced by the latest V1 software. Pupils can hit out onto the driving range or in severe conditions or low light into a net. Gone are the days of cancelling a golf lesson due to poor weather.
