I was privileged to play both the Marquess and Dukes Courses on warm sunny days in mid September. The courses were magnificent. On some holes I thought I was at Augusta!
The warmth and professionalism of the staff were amazing.
If you ever get the opportunity to play Woburn grab it with both hands!
What a top notch facility it is!
Thank you to all the staff for the two memorable days,

All golf courses are excellent, although a little tough. Only issue this time was the slow service on the patio outside the Russell bar. Not good when customers are waiting for food and drinks when staff are talking at bar, sweeping floor (general cleaning), cleaning tables next to you while still not communicating that they are aware you have been waiting awhile! Food and drink was excellent though.

Just arrived home after an outstanding visit to my former golf club. Not been back for some 13 years.
As always the course ( Marquess) was in excellent condition. It was a pleasure to play it after so long .
The whole experience was enhanced by the excellent staff attending to visitors every need. From the very first 'good morning ' at reception, through catering and on course staff the welcome and courtesy was there for all to see.
Thank everyone at Woburn. Especially those who helped so much with the special 'surprise ' arrangements organised by my son for the visit.
An outstanding venue all round.

I’ve played golf courses all over the world now in some incredible places, but still found Woburn to be just a step above the rest. I played a few times as a members guest, and have played all 3 courses.
All are outstanding golf experiences , but my favourite is the Duchess. It’s the toughest in my opinion, but also the most picturesque ( I’ve played in British Columbia and has a feel of a course there with the tall Pine trees lining the fairways.
The greens this time of year were not as fast as I thought they’d be but were in great condition.
Pro shop of course well stocked and all staff in every area were courteous and helpful.
If you are a keen golfer, Woburn has to be on your bucket list- maybe more than once - to play all three courses!

Firstly we would like to apologise for the delay in responding to the review you posted in May having played golf at Woburn. We really appreciate your kind comments and are delighted that you consider the Duchess course your favourite, it is so often overshadowed by the Duchess and Marquess courses, but has been referred to as 'a hidden gem'.
We hope it wont be too long before we are able to welcome you back to the Club.

We saved our pennies to afford this world class venue and waited 6 months for it to arrive. The weather was superb which meant we got the best of this venue. The Dukes course, world class there is no need for other words, just absolute immaculate manicured world class golf course. Marquess lovely, longer and more open and immaculate too. We did not afford the Duchess but heard it was even better than the Marquess if you like a tight, thinking course. Club house superb, staff outstanding and such a aura of class around the place, I would go there again if we could guarantee the weather. Yes its expensive, but you can feel why, its been done properly and lives and breathes proper golf. The Dukes course, every hole is its own tranquil island of golf as you can't see any other holes when you play each one. If you can get a good weekend of weather and you want to play proper course, this is one you need to go to. Special mentions for Mandy, Peter and Kelvin who took time to make our visit enjoyable, lovely people do a great job.

Dear jamesjM961XA
Thank you for your recent review and for your lovely comments, which we will convey to the staff and in particular Mandy, Peter and Kelvin who, as with all our staff go out of their way to make all guests feel welcome. We are delighted you were able to enjoy great weather and would have seen the Rhododendrons coming into full bloom.
We appreciate your feedback on the condition of the Dukes and Marquess courses, which our green staff work extremely hard to present to such a high standard.
We look forward to being able to welcome you back to play the Duchess course, unfortunately the one thing we are unable to guarantee is that you would have such fantastic weather, but hopefully the sun will shine and you will enjoy your return visit.

Woburn is class ! From the moment you are greeted by the excellent and friendly pro shop staff you can tell that you are in for a great day !
We enjoyed the fantastic short game academy and could have actually just stayed there all day.
We had a really nice lunch outside on the terrace overlooking the superbly conditioned putting green.
The best was yet to come as we were privileged to play the superb Dukes course. It’s beautiful to look at and a good test of your game whatever level you play at !
It was 34 degrees when we played so a few drinks afterwards at the very friendly bar was much appreciated !
I have been fortunate to have played many of the best courses in the UK and for me Woburn is simply the best !

First visit to Woburn and if I ever get the opportunity to return, I’ll definitely be back! Played the Dukes course yesterday and oh my, it was amazing! Far and away the best golf course I’ve played on and the whole experience was fantastic. Professional and friendly atmosphere from the pro shop to the driving range, the bar and the starter. In no way intimidating for such a prestigious establishment.
Thank you, Team Woburn!

We enjoyed playing the Duke course, which has been on our wish list for a while. Great overall experience. Friendly welcome in the pro shop. Great lunch. Everyone we meet was welcoming and friendly. The club is in superb condition and shape as you would expect. Which is more than can be said than my approach iron game. Nonetheless, a great experience. My wife and I loved our visit and will return. Highly recommended!

Absolutely nothing to fault, from our initial (last minute) call to Hannah to organise, everything fell into place seamlessly.
A last minute decision on Wednesday of this week to head somewhere on Friday, resulted in Hannah offering 2 of us options on The Marquess and The Duchess. Having played neither previously, but having attended The British Masters when it was at Woburn we elected to play the Marquees.
We were allowed to play as a 2 ball and despite following a selection of 4 and 3 balls we got round in 4 hours 20. The course was in superb condition and it provided a fair and enjoyable challenge to me, a 23 handicapper playing from "The Tees of The Day" and for my playing companion a Golf Pro who played from the Championship Tees.
There's a great selection of holes with some wickedly challenging greens. All providing a great deal of fun.
Hospitality and facilities at the clubhouse, allied to exemplary service matched the standard set by the Green Keepers and architects.
A thoroughly enjoyable visit.
