A SENSE OF BELONGINGFor over three hundred years, Goodwood has simply been the place to be. In its early days,

the 1st Duke of Richmond bought what we now know as Goodwood House as somewhere to stay

when he, and his many illustrious friends, were hunting across his spectacular country estate. It

was in the 1600s that Goodwood first earned its long-standing reputation for entertaining, for

meticulous attention to detai l , for looking after its guests and essential ly for that something

extra, that twist that made it and makes it to this day, somewhere that people wish to spend time.

Nowadays, Goodwood has much more to offer; it is at the forefront of international sporting

events in horseracing and historic motor racing, as well as hosting PGA golf tournaments ,

operating one of Europe’s largest fully organic farms, organising memorable weddings and

business events and welcoming guests to its newly refurbished 90 bedroom hotel; yet amongst the

21st century trappings of business and pleasure, all of that early glamour and excitement coupled

wi th e f for t l e s s s ty l e , s t i l l r ema ins . Goodwood’ s spec i a l a tmosphere , exh i l a ra t ing spor t ing

occasions, consistently high standards, attention to detail and sense of fun, makes it a place for

entertaining that we believe, is hard to surpass.

I’LL SAY IT’S GLORIOUS!Mention the word Goodwood and horseracing springs immediately to mind. Unsurprising, as the

Goodwood Racecourse, set high on the Sussex Downs at the heart of an area of outstanding

natural beauty, has been at the forefront of Brit ish f lat racing for over 200 years.

Often descr ibed as ‘ the most beauti ful racecourse in the world’ , the sett ing couldn’t be

better for a day’s entertaining at this memorable and internationally renowned venue. With its

spectacular v iews to the south across Chichester pla in, down to the Is le of Wight and the

shimmering sea and to the north across breathtaking undulat ing countryside, Goodwood

Racecourse is the perfect backdrop to host an entertaining day’s racing.

Goodwood’s most famous race meeting is held in the last week of July when Sussex is at its

most spectacular. Affectionately dubbed ‘Glorious Goodwood’ by the local newspaper a hundred

years ago, it truly lives up to its name. A week-long festival of first class thoroughbreds battling

it out for the honours and generous prize money, Glorious Goodwood attracts the world’s most

competit ive and well-known jockeys, trainers and owners. Steeped in English tradit ion, yet

carried out with Goodwood’s signature style, the occasion is replete with succulent strawberries,

chilled Champagne, fine dining, picnics, fabulous hats and summer silks.

There are plenty of opportunities to bring guests or business cl ients to Goodwood as there

are a tota l of 21 competi t ive racedays each season from May to mid October. Those ear ly

meetings in May herald the welcome return of summer to this idyll ic corner of England, the

June evening meetings celebrate the lengthening high summer days and the chance to dine al

fresco long into the evening. The mellow days of early October, invite guests to enjoy the last

drops of the summer season in good company. Frequent visitor, Edward VII cal led it ‘a garden

party with racing tacked on’ and he would sti l l f ind it so today.

AND RELAXWhen al l of the high octane and fast paced business of the day is done, there are many

places in which to relax and restore the body and mind.

The glittering jewel in the Goodwood crown is Goodwood House, home to the Richmond

family for over 300 years. This magnificent building with its copper topped turrets and Sussex flint

walls is the perfect place to host superb corporate dinners, product launches or media gatherings,

as well as private weddings, civil partnerships, christenings and other special family celebrations.

The impressive Goodwood Hotel is home to 90 comfortable and well designed bedrooms

and is situated at the gateway to the Estate. Its superb leisure facilities include a state-of-the-art

gym, indoor pool and spa, as well as floodlit tennis courts and a very comprehensive range of

cosseting beauty and therapeutic treatments. The contemporary Bar & Grill serves healthy food

throughout the day, whilst The Richmond Arms provides a more formal restaurant serving great

food, often sourced from Goodwood’s own organic farm.

More excellent cuisine is available at the beautiful restaurant at The Kennels, Goodwood’s

sporting members’ c lub. This Grade I l isted building used to be home to the third Duke of

Richmond’s celebrated hunting hounds. Today it features a relaxing drawing room, complete

with open fires, a library adorned with contemporary art and there’s a sports bar showing all the

latest sports act ion. The Kennels is the ideal dest ination after a round of golf on one of the

two beautiful courses – The Downs or The Park.

Two stunning venues, the Vitra Café and the Jackie Stewart Pavi l ion provide trackside

opportunities for private catering. Both offer the ideal venue for private or corporate track day

groups to relax, eat and unwind in good company.

From the splendour of Goodwood House, to the fuel-injected destinations at the motor

circuit or aerodrome, there is a venue to suit different moods and occasions, with a dedicated

team of event planners who are brimful of ideas and ready to help organise the perfect event.

‘Goodwood’s image and attention to detail perfectly reflectsour corporate culture and clients expectations’

In 1948 the 9th Duke of Richmond, a passionate and skil led racing driver, converted the perimeter road into a motor

GOLF AT GOODWOODGOLF AT GOODWOOD

With two dist inct ive 18-hole courses , Golf At Goodwood al lows you to choose the level you want to play at to suit

your gol f or even your mood of the day. You can choose the cha l lenge of The Downs , wi th i t s fast-running fa irways,

undulat ing greens and the dramat ic changes of leve l in the downland va l leys and hi l l s . Alternat ive ly you can opt for

the more gent le opt ion of The Park, where the easy-walking tree- l ined fa irways wi l l take you on a wonderful s trol l

across Goodwood Park , ye t s t i l l present you wi th p lenty of oppor tuni t i e s to hone your shot-making sk i l l s .

THE DOWNS COUR S E

Golf’s five-times Open Champion, James Braid, designed The Downs Course in 1914, though it is no less challenging to

play for today’s generation of big hitters. Braid’s trademark dog legs and cross-bunkering combine with nature’s dramatic

changes in levels making the course as compelling as ever.

This downland course has been sensit ively renovated for today’s golfer, whilst conserving its heritage and tradit ion.

The scale , grandeur and aesthetic qual ity have al l been improved, enhancing the spectacular views across the Estate and

beyond, towards the Solent and the Is le of Wight. For a downland course, the variety of holes is unusual ly r ich and is

a superbly chal lenging 7104 yards . Fine fescue greens have been rebui l t with subt le s lopes and swales , which are

maintained to the highest standards, as are a l l the playing surfaces .

The Kennels c lubhouse provides the ul t imate fac i l i t ies . The Locker Rooms have a fu l l a t tendant serv ice and are

beaut i ful ly appointed with walnut lockers , s tate-of-the-art showers and super soft pima cotton towels . Our specia l

Woody buggies , conceived along s imilar l ines as a small car, designed by Lord March’s grandfather in the 1930s even

come complete with wicker baskets for sandwiches and Champagne!

Standard and inclusive to the following golf experiences are:

18 holes of golf, use of Woody buggies, all range balls, your personal event co-ordinator and bacon rolls and coffee on arrival

The Downs Course and The Kennels

For a minimum of 8 players with a three course meal at The Kennels. Price: £127 + VAT per person

The Downs Course and Goodwood House

Ideal for 24 or more players with a three course meal at Goodwood House. Price: £188 + VAT per person

THE PARK COUR S E

World-renowned golf course architect Donald Steel was commissioned to produce a design that would ref lect the

prest ige of the stunning backdrop of Goodwood House and its 18th century cedars .

The result is an easy-walking 6650 yards course that suits a l l levels of golf ing abil i ty but st i l l provides the chal lenge

that today’s golfers prefer. The tree-lined fairways that wind their way around Goodwood House are generally level but

not over-generous and shots to the small greens demand accuracy rather than brute force. Moreover, the cal ibre of the
