Woburn marquess

[USER1999]

Very interesting to read about people's views of the Duchess. I recall thinking the last time I played it that I would make sure it would be the last. Too narrow to be a fair test for all. I don't like it at all in fact.

Dukes is good but the Marquess is in a different league as far as I am concerned. Certainly not a slog fest and on the two occasions I have played it, it was immaculately presented.

Last time I played the duchess, I went in thinking it was a bit tight. When I got there, and looked at each hole off the tee, it's a lot wider than you first think. The thing is, there's not much rough, it's fairway, or trees. But it's not that tight. It's no tighter than my home course, and my course isn't that narrow.

I played the Duchess course some time ago now. I didn't come away from it thinking it was overly tight.
And I wasn't the fairway finding machine that I am now.....

Its actually not that tight - there are a few tee shots that look daunting - the second is prob the worst but my place has tighter tee shots than the Duchess

I found the par 3's the toughest part of the Duchess, seemed narrow greens considering the length of tee shots required.
