Five reasons to start playing golf

Health

The obvious choice, but golf is good for your health! It is an excellent form of exercise without you even realising. Did you know that an 18-hole round of golf means you could take up to 10,000 steps and burn 2,000 calories? It is also a great way of relaxing and getting rid of those everyday stresses.

Relieves stress

Getting out into the great outdoors and enjoying the fresh air couldn't be better for you and will help you relieve stress and get rid of those unwanted endorphins. With stunning views of The South Downs from The Downs Course to effortlessly winding around the flint walls of Goodwood House on The Park Course, it will definitely take you away from the worries of everyday life.

New hobby

There's nothing better when you take up a new hobby and fall in love with a new sport. Practice makes perfect, so enjoy your time down at the driving range until you feel comfortable enough to head out onto the course. Our Get into Golf programme can help you develop as a golfer and even help you meet new people new to the game.

Get together with friends or family

Its a great excuse to have an afternoon away and enjoying a relaxing game of golf. Whether the game is competitive or not, it’s the best way to catch up, and you can even enjoy a beverage or two after the game is over!'

Scenery

There are some stunning golf courses in the UK, and none more so than The Downs Course. With beautiful views of the South Downs and Chichester, there is no better way than to spend your weekend enjoying the setting.

With two championship courses and a fantastic Academy, there is nowhere better to get into Golf.
