IRC, Respond to above review  See other reviews from Mark. 0 people found this review helpful The towering pine trees make each hole appear exceptionally tight. It feels like it plays longer as one does not want to take a full swing on the tee shot, resulting in the approach shots being a bit longer than one might expect. Like The Dukes, the middle holes border on repetitive, with many similar holes, but due to the positions of the greens and the routing it does manage to keep intrigue and shaping shots into greens are often required. Even with a 1300 tee time we had the course to ourselves, able to enjoy the experience of walking the tree lined fairways heavy with the scent of pine. An historic ridge – the remains of an ancient Danish settlement – runs diagonally across the hole and will push anything short and left into the forest.

Major competitions, accolades and honours are usually heaped on the Duke's and more recently the Marquess courses, but the Duchess is lovely in its own right, and a stern challenge. That figure, for handicap purposes, is 113. Most of the one shotters are quite long and challenging, demanding very straight tee shots.

It took all of about 30 seconds to figure out my course handicap off the yellow tees on the Marquess course. There is way more variety in the holes, including more doglegs, and the routing isn't back and forth like the Dukes. That was surprising: “How can this be? I personally didn’t think the fairways especially narrow, only the wildest of drives will mean you're searching the trees or reloading. - The fourth has trees located in the fairway for the second shot (a pet peeve of mine). What could bring me back (although my list of courses I have yet to play remains very long) would be if they removed some of the trees such as on the second hole and seventeen. Respond to above review  first 18 was on the Duchess where i managed to get my first HOLE IN ONE on the par 3 13th the course was in perfect condition as youd expect and played ALOT tougher than its more esteemed sister the Marquess i really enjoyed the test of the duchess where driving the ball straight was key . The greens are kept very smooth here. The course could also use another 15 bunkers along the fairway. h�bbd```b``�"3�d2�dI���I0y,�&M�"i6�&�T��V`YeY �H2r��2?

Indeed I was very impressed with the final third of the course which has a lovely mix of holes and requires both length and finesse. There are arguably no standout holes, there are just a number of very good ones. There was joy and consternation in the clubhouse of Woburn Golf Club yesterday as fellow members discovered their predicted handicap on November 2nd under the new World Handicap System. As such, unlike courses such as Beaconsfield, Royal Ashdown Forest, or Liphook, it is not a course I would want to play again. Woburn is renowned for holes that play through avenues of pines.

The 9th, stroke index 2, is a par four, which begins with a long, narrow chute off the tee. While I had an enjoyable time, I think it was because we made it fun rather than the course making the round. The condition of the course was not great either. See other reviews from Ian Cranidge. In Fourteen has a green sloped left to right with the contour of the land. The trees actually detract from the visual of the course on several holes. None of these changes would change the essence of the Duchess’, but in my opinion would make it both more fun and better visually. There are some solid holes on the Duchess, especially the par threes. Although it probably has less stand-out holes (maybe the 1st is my favourite), for me it has less poor holes and it is a good solid course. As other reviewers have said the Duchess is the shortest of the three Woburn courses but makes up for it with tighter fairways and small greens, all immaculate with tee boxes that look like carpet. - the second due to the trees being so close to the green. 0 people found this review helpful Built by Amersham Web It was the location for the British Masters for 20 years and, since 2008, has been home to the Travis Perkins Group Senior Masters and other top men's and women's professional events.
