Goodwood Golf Club

bloody hilly

goodwood is a vast estate with 2 courses although they are about a mile or so apart, we played the members downs course and the first thing that struck me was how helpful and friendly the staff were to us which i wasn't really expecting. the course itself consists of 18 good interesting holes with a few of them great,greens were good although we all found them very hard to read, my only criticism would be that there is a large amount of raised tees with some great views but very steep climbs up to and some really long walks between the greens and next tee which seemed to make the course a little disjointed and lacking flow. overall well worth playing this lovely course set in great surroundings although £100 is like the rest of the course a bit steep

  

Retro Buggies, Brave Pheasants & Free Air Show!

I hadnt played goodwood for a while until today as it can be pricey and a bit elitest occasionally!

Having said that today it was superb, it has a lovely feel, well cared for with some nice touches and a terrific clubhouse as you would expect from Goodwood.

Loads of Wildlife out on the course especially the pheasants who will not move off the fairways for anyone! Got treated to a load of wartime planes doing acrobatics on the 6th and 7th - great fun! The airfield and racetrack is very close by so it can get noisy on the front 9!
