Goodwood has been named as one of the UK’s best golf resorts, by the Golf World Top 100 panel.

Other famous golf resorts at the top of the Golf World list include: Gleneagles in Scotland, Trump Turnberry in Scotland, Adare Manor in Ireland, Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire and Foxhills in Surrey.

Golf World described Goodwood as having “some real pedigree, with the James Braid-designed Downs – which has been renovated by Tom Mackenzie and is a Top 100 UK course – backed up by Donald Steel’s Park. Then there is a wonderful country hotel with style and panache. The food is exquisite and so is the health club, with gym, pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and tennis.”

The two Goodwood golf courses, near Chichester, West Sussex, were ranked at number 50 on the magazine’s 2021 list.

Golf At Goodwood, general manager, Gary Beves said: “We are enormously proud to be listed alongside the most exclusive golf resorts, covering every corner of Great Britain and Ireland. We strive to give golfers the best possible experience here at Goodwood and have experienced huge surge in demand when restrictions have allowed us to be open over the past year.”

The best golf resorts were chosen by an experienced panel of readers, invited to take part because of their extensive knowledge of the courses and edited by Christ Bertram the Top 100 Courses editor, who has played all 200 links golf courses in the list.
