Woburn Golf and Country Club is located at Little Brickhill, near Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, England, about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of central London.
There are three courses: the "Duke's Course", which opened in 1976; the "Duchess Course", designed by Charles Dundas Lawrie, which followed in 1978; and the "Marquess Course", designed by Peter Alliss and Clive Clark, European Golf Design (Ross McMurray) and Alex Hay, which dates from 2000. The courses are situated amid mature woodland on the Duke of Bedford's Woburn Abbey estate.
European Ryder Cup player and PGA Tour golfer Ian Poulter is the club's "touring professional".
Tournaments
The European Tour's British Masters was played at Woburn many times between 1979 and 2002, initially over the Duke's Course, and later over the Marquess Course. Another European Tour event, The Heritage, was staged at Woburn in 2004.
Woburn has hosted the Women's British Open, one of the women's majors, nine times between 1984 and 1999, as well as other Ladies European Tour events. The Ford Ladies Classic was played on the Duke's Course from 1982 until 1985 when it moved to the Duchess Course with the final tournament, won by Catrin Nilsmark in 1994.
