Denham Golf Club is a golf club in Higher Denham, Buckinghamshire.

The formation of the club was conceived at a meeting in August 1910, by seven local gentlemen and the archives record the issue of shares in December 1910. The Harry Colt designed course was opened for play in May 1911, [1] although payment for the services of Colt is not recorded until September 1911, whilst he was still acting as the first secretary of Sunningdale Golf Club. The clubhouse was created out of a 16th-century tithe barn and farmhouse.

The golf club gives its name to the nearby Denham Golf Club railway station on the Chiltern Main Line, which was built to service the course, [2] [3] although the station now primarily serves the village of Higher Denham. The clubhouse can be reached by walking across the 11th fairway.
