Hazlemere Golf Course was the idea of Dave Wanstall. He invited three like minded friends Ron Luzar, Mick Curry, and Reg Carlisle to join him. He had always wanted to see a golf course in the Hazlemere area and when a parcel of land owned by The Earl Howe Estate (Inkerman Farm) came on the market in early 1981, the opportunity to bring the dream to reality presented itself.
The land went for auction in early 1981 and Dave Wanstall and his friends were successful in their bid. Wycombe District Council were very supportive of the planning application even though the land was Farmland and within The Green Belt.
The farmland lent itself to the contours of a golf course and the majority of the land’s natural features were retained. One of the original features was the avenue of lime trees which stretches from behind the 12th tee to behind the 1st green. It is believed that originally the avenue was a carriage drive used by Earl Howe and continued beyond where the 3rd tee is today on to Penn House. The course is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty set in the heart of The Chiltern Hills and wonderful views can be seen from the Clubhouse and many other areas around the course.

Chestnut Avenue ., HP11 1DJ
igh Wycombe Bowling Club, the third oldest club in the County, was born in 1902 in
Harlow Rd. This is just east of the town centre opposite the Rye.The first High Wycombe
bowling green was situated at the top of the road where St John's Ambulance Station now
stands. This was a 4 rink green, which at the time was quite sufficient for the number of
bowling players. The site was purchased by 35 shareholders for the sum of £35.
Amongst the foundling members were furniture manufacturers, mill owners, doctors and
solicitors. One of the better known members was Lord Desborough.
As High Wycombe prospered and grew, so did the Bowls Club. It became apparent
that the green was of insufficient size for the potential membership, so in 1927 the new
club was opened at its present site in Chestnut Avenue. The Harlow Rd club was sold for
£450 and the new land bought for £300. A maximum size green of eight rinks was
constructed by Maxwell Hart of Glasgow at a cost of £1000. This was the first Cumberland
turf green to be laid in Buckinghamshire. The clubhouse, which cost £700, has changed
very little since 1927. It still has its original oak beams and the timber lined main hall.
80 hand-made wheel back chairs, each with H.W.B.C. carved on the back,were presented
by James Elliots & Sons. The President's chair, also with H.W.B.C. carved on the back,
was made by J.W.Hawkins. Over the years the two most important games to be played at
the green were the touring South African sides in 1935 and again in 1995.

Chiltern Manor Park, Great Missenden, , HP16 9NA
Welcome to The Lee Cricket Club, and one of the most beautiful village cricket grounds in England.
The first game of cricket was played on The Lee Manor Park Ground in 1875, and only a new pavilion and the maturing of several oak trees dotted around the boundaries have changed the outlook since then. The cows in the neighbouring field often come right up to the boundary fence to watch the matches!
After over a century of playing friendly fixtures, in 1999 the club decided to play league cricket for the first time and joined the Kookaburra Mid Bucks Village League. We rapidly gained promotion from Division 2 to Division 1 and then played several seasons in the Premier league.
The club continues to combine Saturday league cricket with traditional friendly games played on Sundays. In 2014 we joined the Morrant Chiltern League and the First XI play in Division 3 and the Second XI in Division 4.
In addition to senior cricket, the club also runs a hugely successful colts section, with over 120 members attending either Friday night softball training or Saturday morning hardball sessions. This season we have colts teams at Under 9, Under 10, Under 12, and Under 14 and Under 15 age groups, as well as an Under 19 Twenty:20 team. Several of our colts are also representing the county.
