Woburn Golf Club

Woburn Golf Club

Golf club with a royal history founded in 1976, with 3 leafy championship courses & a clubhouse A warm welcome from The Duke of Bedford – In 1974, my late father had the foresight and courage to see that a world-class golf facility could be created at Woburn. He was inspired by the traditions of sportsmanship and courtesy he saw in the game of golf, values that he considered highly important. The first of Woburn’s three courses, the Dukes Course, was opened in 1976 followed in 1978 with the opening of the Duchess Course.

Former BBC golf commentator the late Alex Hay came to Woburn as our Club Professional in 1978 and in 1985 was appointed as Managing Director. Together with my father, Alex was instrumental in the development and success of the club. They were also the driving force behind tournament golf coming to Woburn and in the creation of the Marquess Course, which opened in June 2000.

As a family, it’s our intention to continue their work for generations to come. We will strive to ensure their vision is delivered for the benefit of all those who are able to experience our three tournament-hosting courses and enjoy our clubhouse facilities.

Woburn Abbey and the surrounding Estate provide a stunning backdrop and historical setting for Woburn Golf Club. Whilst the Club is quiet and secluded, it is centrally located just 10 minutes from Junction 13 off the M1, 15 minutes from Central Milton Keynes and just over an hour from London, Birmingham, Oxford and Cambridge.

Having hosted sixty professional tournaments across the Duke’s, Duchess and Marquess courses, Woburn was the first 54 hole venue to have all three of its courses featured in Golf Monthly magazines, Top 100 Courses in the UK and Ireland.
