Description
Stoke Park was the setting for one of the most famous moments in golf, albeit a fictional match.
Its proximity to Pinewood film studios meant it was the perfect spot to film James Bond's match against Auric Goldfinger in the 007 movie released in 1964.
Now in the hands of a real-life billionaire, Stoke Park has quite a story of its own. The club closed for several years and had its membership abolished before reopening as an exclusive pay-and-play venue.
