How to get there
London Luton Airport (LTN) is the closest airport, approximately 13 miles away — around 28 minutes by car. London Heathrow (LHR) is a further alternative at roughly 37 miles for golfers connecting internationally. The club welcomes visitors Monday to Friday; weekend play is generally reserved for members, and advance booking with a handicap certificate is recommended.
Where to stay
Woburn village, home to The Woburn hotel within the historic Duke of Bedford Estate, gives golfers an attractive base with genuine character rather than a generic motorway hotel. Woburn Abbey and its safari park make it a reasonable choice for a mixed golf-and-family trip, with London Luton Airport under 30 minutes away.
