Welcome to the inaugural Dukes Club Charity Golf
Day!
Hosted at the beautiful Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, the Dukes Club Charity Golf day is a wonderful event bringing together golfers and supporters from across the Dukes Education family, all while raising money for a worthy cause.
ABOUT THE DOWNS COURSE
Golf at Goodwood dates back more than a 100 years. Designed in 1914 by designer of Gleneagles and Carnoustie, James Braid, the Downs is renowned for its immaculate condition and challenging layout.
Today the course retains essential character of Braid’s concept while providing a challenge for the modern game.
Fast-running fairways, undulating greens and dramatic changes of elevation in the downland valleys and hills which are both a treat and a challenge to true golf fans.
