The golf courses have been vastly improved since Mr Mansell bought Woodbury Park with the installation of over 500 miles of new drains and several sessions of over-seeding to improve the quality of the grass. All this hard work has produced spectacular end results. The 18-par 73 golf course, The Oaks, has been transformed into one of England’s premier courses. It is set in tree and lake studded parkland with rolling fairways and immaculately manicured greens. The nine-hole Acorns course is perfect for the less experienced golfer but offers a realistic challenge for all. There is also an 18-bay driving range and a wonderful short game practice area where guests can brush up on their driving and chipping skills. The clubhouse is no longer the Portakabin of 1994, but part of an outstanding modern complex with a well-stocked pro shop, a wooden-beamed traditional bar The Conservatory Restaurant, which has spectacular views over the lake on the 18th hole. |
