Peterborough Milton Golf Club has a fine, well-established par 71 parkland course set in the grounds of the Fitzwilliam Estate, many of the holes being played in full view of Milton Hall. In the late 1920s, the 6th Earl Fitzwilliam built a nine hole course in the grounds of Milton Hall for his own use and for his family and friends. To prevent urban development in the early 1930s this course was offered for private lease and R Stutt & Company of Paisley constructed a new 18 hole course, designed by James Braid, which became Peterborough Milton in June 1938. The original thatched Clubhouse still stands looking up the 13th/14th fairways.

Leading off the main car park herbaceous flower beds border the elevated 1st tee which is overlooked by a well-stocked Professional's shop. A ten acre practice ground runs parallel to the left of the 1st fairway which coupled with the completion of Lake Temptation across the 1st and down the 18th fairway makes a challenging start to this course. Peterborough Milton has four very individual par 3's with well guarded or two tier greens and the three par 5's require a degree of accuracy to negotiate fairway hazards especially the strategically placed mature trees. Despite Dutch Elm disease when many trees were lost during the 1970s, the ongoing programme of annual forest planting is now showing benefit to the course.

With the Clubhouse providing a backdrop to the 18th hole and playing from an elevated tee over the pond and alongside Lake Temptation, this final hole is a fine ending to what has hopefully been an enjoyable (yet challenging) round of golf. To complete your day, a sociable greeting will welcome you into the Clubhouse where the staff will be pleased to cater for the inner man in friendly and comfortable surroundings.
