Bob, You are right about Beaconsfield. The railway line to Marylebone cuts right through the course. The clubhouse is adjacent to a station, Seer Green and Jordans (not Beaconsfield). I lodged with friends in Beaconsfield recently, commuting to London daily, and even in late October/early November the course looked every bit as gorgeous as Paul Turner's lovely pictures posted here some time ago. The station at Sunningdale is very close to the courses and the railway also runs alongside the 9th at Wentworth West. I can think of dozens of British courses alongside railway lines and if I travel to London from my home I always hope the train will be diverted via Northampton as that line runs through the middle of Northamptonshire County, a very attractive parkland course which, sadly, I haven't played for many years. I mentioned Denham in an earlier post - it's also possible there to slice the ball onto an airfield. One of the nicest railway lines beside a golf course is the preserved line running out of Sheringham. Old steam engines chuff past from time to time adding to the period feel of the golf course. It was at Sheringham, I believe, that someone asked Joyce Wethered if she'd been put off by the noise of a train as she putted. 'What train?' was the reply.
