WELCOME to GOODWOOD
Goodwood is England’s greatest sporting Estate. The first Duke of Richmond originally visited this area of the Sussex Downs to enjoy the fox hunting with the famous Charlton Hunt. He bought the house in 1697, and it has remained the seat of the Dukes of Richmond ever since. Over the past two centuries Goodwood has played a prominent role in the English summer season. Today, thanks to world-renowned events such as the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival and Glorious Goodwood, there is no finer place in the country to enjoy motor sport and horseracing. In addition to the high-speed thrills of the racetrack, guests of Goodwood can also enjoy two championship golf courses, the very best shooting, cricket matches on one of England’s oldest grounds, and even the opportunity to take off from a celebrated Battle of Britain airfield. With a range of luxury accommodation, an award-winning restaurant and a fully equipped health club at your disposal, we hope you will enjoy discovering Goodwood’s famous hospitality first hand.

HORSERACING SEASON The season may peak with the Qatar Goodwood Festival, but there is outstanding horseracing at Goodwood from April through to October.
"It’s fabulous racing and the most picturesque course in the world." frankie dettori
Horseracing has taken place on top of the South Downs since 1801, when the 3rd Duke of Richmond held a private race meeting for the Sussex Militia. It was such a success that the following year he held Goodwood’s first public race meeting. Today, in addition to the world-famous Qatar Goodwood Festival, there are 14 days of high-class racing at Goodwood, where the colour, excitement and spectacle of seeing racehorses and jockeys close up is more than matched by the stunning setting. Guests are treated to spectacular views across The Downs to Chichester and the Isle of Wight, with the Solent shimmering in between. The 2016 season’s highlights include the three-day May Festival, the dynamic Three Friday Nights in June – when a thrilling day’s racing is followed by a magical evening of dancing and globally renowned DJs – and the 1950s-themed August Bank Holiday weekend.

The
FESTIVAL OF SPEED Enjoy a breathtaking combination of cars, stars and motor sport luminaries at this world-famous motoring summer garden party.
For anyone with a passion for motor racing, the Goodwood Festival of Speed is the highlight of the year – an exhilarating four-day celebration of the fastest, most powerful and most beautiful cars in the world. Motor sport was originally brought to the Estate in 1936, when the 9th Duke of Richmond – himself an exceptional racing driver – hosted a hillclimb on the private road in front of the house. In 1993, the Earl of March set out to revive racing at Goodwood. Today the festival is the biggest car culture event in the world and the only event outside of a Grand Prix which all the major Formula 1 teams attend. From watching the world’s rarest cars sold at auction to the thrill of possibly seeing Lewis Hamilton or Valentino Rossi sprint up Goodwood’s 1.16-mile hill, this is an experience like no other. The extensive range of hospitality options at Goodwood guarantees you have the best seats in the house for this colourful, high-octane event.
"I unashamedly love Goodwood. I love the events. More motor sport in two days than if you’d travelled the world with a Grand Prix team." chris evans

The
KENNELS This exquisite Georgian building combines contemporary dining and entertaining spaces with stylish service and stunning views.
Our Members’ clubhouse features a drawing room, dining room, bar and private conference areas. The Kennels was built in 1787 as a home for the 3rd Duke’s foxhounds. At the time it was regarded as the most luxurious dog house in the world. Considered one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture, The Kennels has been meticulously restored, breathing new life and energy into this 18th-century masterpiece. At Goodwood our aim is to combine elements of the Estate’s heritage with the very best of contemporary design to create a uniquely British feel. The Kennels, with its harmonious fusion of Georgian architectural detail and modern design flair, perfectly reflects this philosophy. Enjoying magnificent views across the Park to Goodwood House beyond, The Kennels is a magical place for lunch or dinner. It has an outstanding restaurant that serves locally sourced food, with the Estate’s very own award-winning Home Farm supplying much of the produce.
GOLF AT GOODWOOD With a heritage stretching back to 1914 and two very different courses to choose from, golf has always played an important role at Goodwood.
Goodwood is blessed with not one but two beautiful 18-hole golf courses, allowing players to choose the level they want to play at according to their game, or even their mood. The Downs is widely considered the finest downland course in England, and is rated amongst the country’s ‘Top 100’ courses. It has fastrunning fairways, undulating greens and dramatic changes of level thanks to its location amid the downland valleys and hills – ideal for those who want more of a challenge. For a gentler day’s golfing, you could choose The Park, where the tree-lined fairways take you on a pleasant stroll across the parkland in front of Goodwood House. All this in the heart of some of southern England’s most beautiful countryside.
The Downs Course
The Park Course
Golf’s five-times Open Champion James Braid designed The Downs Course in 1914, and his trademark dog legs and crossbunkering make it as compelling as ever. While conserving its heritage and tradition, the 7104-yard course has been sensitively renovated for today’s golfer. The scale, grandeur and aesthetic quality have all been improved, enhancing the spectacular views across the Estate and beyond, and playing surfaces are maintained to the very highest standards. The Kennels clubhouse provides beautifully appointed facilities, with walnut lockers and soft pima cotton towels. Our unique Woody buggies, designed by Lord March’s grandfather in the 1930s, even come complete with wicker baskets for sandwiches and Champagne.
World-renowned golf course architect Donald Steel was commissioned to produce a design that would reflect the prestige of its stunning backdrop: Goodwood House and its 18th-century cedars. The result is an easy-walking 6650-yard course that suits all levels of golfing ability but still provides ample challenges for any golfer. Indeed, the calibre of the course has been confirmed with the successful hosting of national and international tournaments. The Park Course Golf Centre is located at The Goodwood Hotel, where guests can enjoy superb facilities including stylish locker and shower rooms and access to the informal Bar & Grill, which serves delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere throughout the day.
