Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real challenge at Woodside Golf Club - is it a tough track?

You'll find Woodside isn't about brute force; it's a thinking golfer's course. The tree-lined fairways demand accuracy off the tee, especially on the back nine, and those subtle undulations on the greens will truly test your short game. It's a course that rewards smart play over sheer power, which we always appreciate.

When's the best time of year to play Woodside to avoid the typical English weather?

We always recommend late spring or early autumn for Woodside - think May-June or September-October. You'll catch the course in prime condition, and while English weather is always a gamble, you'll generally avoid the heavy winter rains and the peak summer crowds. Plus, the course looks stunning with the changing seasons.

Is Woodside Golf Club good value for money, and what kind of experience should I expect?

Woodside offers excellent value, especially compared to some of the more famous links courses nearby. You're paying for a well-maintained parkland track with a genuinely friendly atmosphere, not just a name. Expect a relaxed round, a welcoming clubhouse, and a course that's always in great shape for the price.

Are there any standout holes at Woodside that I should look forward to?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 7th, which plays over a small pond - it's a real beauty and a proper test of nerve. Then there's the dogleg 15th; navigating that corner successfully sets you up for a great birdie chance, but miss it and you're in trouble. These two really stick in your memory.

What are the practice facilities like at Woodside, and is the clubhouse worth sticking around for?

The practice facilities at Woodside are solid - a decent driving range and a good short game area to dial in your wedges before you head out. And yes, the clubhouse is definitely worth a visit; it has that classic, cozy English feel, perfect for a post-round pint and a chat about your round with fellow golfers.
