Golf At Goodwood

The Park Course is apparently less of a challenge than the Downs but it was plenty for me and my group. It's certainly easy enough to walk the course as it winds through the estate and around Goodwood House itself. The grounds are gorgeous and of course there are many other attractions if you're making a weekend of it. Lovely hotel too. Lots to recommend and I might give the Downs course a go next time.

2 great but very different courses, Downs is very long & hilly great test of your game, greens are excellent. Park is flat easy walk but always in good condition, lovely evening course after work.

Was lucky enough To play on Monday 23 March 2020. It was gloriously sunny, the first of the year. Although the club house was closed due too the unfortunate circumstances at present. The range is well layer out with both a covered and uncovered area with plenty of marker posts for distance and accuracy. A very well payed out chipping area is also available. We played the park course which offered great views of Goodwood house and the lovely countryside. Also you have the added bounus of the site and sound of the spitfires. The fairways were well defined and in very good condition due to the recent rain. The greens had been hollow tined but a great touch of a 3 foot square around the hole gave putts a chance to fall. The greens were receptive and of a good speed. All in all a great day.

Prachtig om te kunnen spelen en ook nog zon.

De parks course is, hoe kan het anders, ‘a walk in the park’. Letterlijk, want je loopt door het kasteelpark van Goodwood House, met prachtige bomen. Maar ook figuurlijk, want met vlakke fairways en eenvoudige, trage greens, eigenlijk een makkelijke parcours. Veel lawaai van landende vliegtuigjes en in de verte van de racecourse. Een aanrader voor hogere handicaps, maar de betere speler zal op zijn honger blijven zitten. We betaalden £15 greenfee (!), dus prijs/kwaliteit ga je nergens beter vinden. Jammer dat de Downs course alleen voor leden toegankelijk bleek, want dat is blijkbaar de ‘echte’ Goodwood.
