Woburn Golf Club
Woburn Golf Club, located in beautiful Bedfordshire countryside, has three brilliant courses comprising of 54 challenging holes. The Duke's Course was the location for the British Masters for 20 years and from 2008 is home to the Travis Perkins Senior Masters and other top men’s and women’s professional events. The 6,983 yard Duke's course sports fairways lined with pine, silver birch and chestnut trees. Heather, bracken and gorse add to the charm of the course as well as providing some of the natural hazards of each hole. The famous third hole, framed by rhododendron bushes, has recently been voted into the 'World's Top 500 Holes' by Golf Magazine. Slightly shorter in length than the Duke's Course, at 6,651 yards, the Duchess' Course is cut from more formal pine forest. The rolling fairways and subtle contours are deceptively landscaped to test the golfer’s full repertoire of shots. Set in 200 acres of mixed woodland, the Marquess' course overlaps the county boundary dividing Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire and presents a variety of aspects, with its rolling and undulating terrain. The beautiful woodland is predominantly pine, spruce, sweet chestnut and oak, with a number of rare specimens such as Corsican pine, yew, rowan and beech.
