Woburn Golf Club is a golf club in England located in Little Brickhill, near Milton Keynes within the county of Bedfordshire, about fifty miles (80 km) northwest of central London.
There are three courses at the Woburn property: the "Duke's Course", which opened in 1976; the "Duchess Course", both designed by Charles Lawrie,[1] which followed in 1978; and the "Marquess Course", designed by Peter Alliss and Clive Clark, European Golf Design (Ross McMurray), and Alex Hay,[2] which dates from 2000. The courses are situated amid mature woodland on the Duke of Bedford's Woburn Abbey estate.[3]
Ryder Cup and PGA Tour player Ian Poulter of England is the club's Men's "touring professional".[3]
Solheim Cup and LPGA Tour player Charley Hull of England is the club's Ladies "touring professional".[4]
