Woburn Golf Club

Woburn Golf Club is secluded but only 10 minutes from Junction 13 of the M1. It is the only 54 hole venue to have all 3 courses featured in Golf Monthly's Top 100 Courses in the UK & Ireland. Woburn recently hosted its 60th Professional Tournament, when the AIG Women's British Open, won by Hikano Shibuno, was played on the Marquess course. Woburn is ideal for corporate & society golf days and also offers mid week green fee packages for individual golfers & parties of all sizes.

As a new golf player (just over 1 year playing) I was already terrified playing at such a big course. But seeing the courses in all their glory was stunning. The golf club itself is exquisite and the food we were provided (corporate day) was some of the best I have tasted. We played the marquess course, one of three courses available. After playing on courses around the Yorkshire area and getting used to them, this was a different world. A real challenge for golfers and a must for anyone who has a passion for the sport. Despite flashes of rain it did not hinder the experience and it lived up to the hype. I would recommend visiting the club website where you can see every hole and get tips on what to do/not to do which will definitely help!

As a nervous beginner, over 50 years old, I've had 4 fab ski lessons with different instructors in the last few weeks - John, Alex, Ovi and Gary. All very patient, clear informative, and I'm making progress beyond what I expected. Slow but sure! They always work at my pace. Great facility and excellent instructors.
