Luffenham Heath Golf Club

Luffenham Heath Golf Club

Luffenham Heath is an 18-hole golf course near South Luffenham in Rutland, England, designed by James Braid. It opened in 1911 under the patronage of the Earl of Ancaster who had exchanged land in South Luffenham for common land on the Heath.

In 1929, the club captain was the Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VIII. The club subsequently applied to be allowed to add the word "Royal" as a prefix to the club's name, but the request was turned down.

The course is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and in particular is notable for Brown Hairstreak butterflies.
