Woburn – 36 holes
We now return yet again (our 8th appearance over the years) to wonderful Woburn, where in 2012 all 3 courses were ranked in the UK & Ireland Top 100 by Golf Monthly, the first 54 hole club ever to have done so. After meeting in our usual spot, the Poulter room, we play the Duchess, opened in 1978 (2 years after the Duke’s) & thought by many to be the younger sibling of the 3. The Duchess did not take this tag lightly - it is a super course in its own right & now thought by many to be...

Opened in 1913, it comprises undulating fairways, heather, birch & stately Scots pines, all set within an exclusive private estate.
