The Buckinghamshire welcomed generations of talent – past, present and emerging for the 2025 Rose Ladies Series finished in style at the historic country estate.
The transformed course and clubhouse, which re-opened last year following an investment of more than £10 million, provided the perfect venue for some of the UK’s top female players, including four-time major champion Dame Laura Davies and Ladies European Tour winners Carly Booth and Meg MacLaren.
The tournament featured two of The Buckinghamshire’s own rising stars, teenagers Ellie Lichtenhein and Saskia Owen, who have progressed from the club’s thriving scholars and junior sections to reach international level.
PROUD CLUB
Sanjay Arora, President of The Buckinghamshire and Chief Operating Officer of the Arora Group, said: “Hosting a Rose Ladies Series event has been a wonderful opportunity to support women’s golf, and it is fitting for the series to finish here, at the home of the Ladies European Tour.
“It’s also been fantastic to showcase the transformation of The Buckinghamshire on an elite stage. We are incredibly proud of the way this beautiful venue has been restored to its best, creating a contemporary, family-friendly private members’ club on London’s doorstep.”
Gerry Ivers, The Buckinghamshire’s Managing Director, added: “It was a terrific day, made all the more special by Ellie and Saskia competing. We are very proud of our scholar and junior sections, and to have supported these two hugely talented players for the last seven years. Their progress has been shaped not only by our programmes and coaching but also by the encouragement and support of the wider membership.
“Both have very bright futures in the game and their achievements are very inspiring for everyone connected with the club.”
FIVE SUCCESSFUL YEARS
The Rose Ladies Series started in 2020 when Justin Rose and his wife Kate wanted to give playing opportunities to female professionals during the pandemic.
The concept has gathered momentum every year since then, and this year comprised five one-day events at top UK clubs, each with a first prize of £10,000 – the largest of any men’s or women’s one-day event in the country.
Kate Rose, who was at The Buckinghamshire on Friday and presented Hannah Screen with the winner’s cheque, said: “It was a fantastic day to finish the 2025 Rose Ladies Series, and we certainly did that in style at The Buckinghamshire – a stunning venue with a beautiful clubhouse. Thanks to Gerry and all the team there for making the day such a success.”
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE INVESTMENT
The Buckinghamshire last hosted a Rose Ladies Series event in 2021. Since then, it has been exquisitely renovated by the Arora family as part of their wider plan to develop a portfolio of world-class golf venues.
The golf course has been reconfigured and renovated, enhancing its natural beauty, and the finishing holes are overlooked by the Heron’s Bar and patio – perfect for enjoying post-round drinks or long, sunny lunches.
The clubhouse now boasts luxury amenities that encapsulate the club’s vision of ‘membership reimagined’, including a stylish Orangery restaurant, iconic Whisky Room, spacious lounges and locker rooms and seven beautiful bedroom suites.
Just 10 miles from Heathrow and within easy reach of central London, it has been designed to be a home from home, whether members are golfing, spending time with family, lunching with friends or business contacts or spending the day working.
