Somebody offered to share a room with me at the Travel Lodge, but I can't remember who the hell it was!!
The place that Bratty has highlighted looks quite good, especially as you're getting a nice full English and it doesn't seem to be too far from the course. If you want to share a twin room there mate, I'm happy to share. As long as you don't try to get your pork sword out again.....

Came back from Woburn last night, having played in the Pairs Open on the Duchess! WOW! I hit the 2h on virtually every par 4 and 5 to try and keep it straight. Lashed a couple of drives a few holes in - and the result was not pretty! - and went straight back to the hybrid.
The course was in fantastic condition and the clubhouse is wonderful. They've put flagstones in the reception corridor meaning you can walk from carpark to tee THROUGH THE CLUBHOUSE! Genius! Showers are terrible however, as they didn't change the visitors Locker Rooms for some unknown reason!?
The White House B&B is better than I remember it, is 3 minutes drive from Woburn GC, and the breakfast is fantastic. Seriously good value for money.
At 9am, when we crossed the flyover crossing the A5, traffic was backed up for miles, so would recommend people stay over, as it looks horrendous in the morning.

I am not too far from Woburn distance wise but I know I need at least a good hour if not more for travel, not a nice place to get too in rush hour
debating staying overnight myself just for convenience

Agree the course was great, if a little sodden after all the rain ! Too many trees for my liking although my chipping out sideways was a real strength
Drove up on the M25 and it was dreadful. 40 mph limits most of the way there and back, which brings the traffic to a standstill. No roadworks or accidents, four lanes, and still a carpark
Avoid the A5 and stay on the M1 to junction 13. Recommend anyone travelling from the South books some accommodation or leaves from home very early !

Well disguised their Richard, giving a travel report meant the actual competition and results went unnoticed, excellent ploy..........
I hope you got back before midnight, traffic reports sounded pretty awful your way. Thank you for the company and those forumer's that liked Forest Pines will love it)

Really enjoyed the day (apart from the drive) Jan, and apologies that I left my game in Scotland. I know all that are playing at Woburn will love the courses.

Completely forgot about this! Mostly due to not having money and partly because I'm a simpleton.
Can I be added to the reserve list?

I was up at Woburn a few weeks ago. It's a special place to play although the lunch wasn't quite as good as it was in years gone by but the courses were in great condition. The Duchess less so than the Marquess but still pretty damn fine.

With you three, and the other player that Vig has, that makes up the other fourball.
If the three of you just PM me to confirm that you definitely want to come along I will PM you back to confirm deposit and where to send it.

Looks like its only a stones throw away. Just the grief of getting there in the rush hour to solve now
