What the club says: The course combines more than 80 years of mature woodland and undulating landscape with the attention to detail achieved by only the best quality courses. The standard of the upkeep, in all seasons and weathers, has made this a connoisseurs' course. Each hole is given its own name - a reminder of the heritage of the club. The most challenging of all is the 15th, The Waafery. Others such as the Blasted Ash, May Tree, Little Pastures and The Spinney paint a picture of the lush, parkland setting. Beware of the brook that meanders through the 7th, 10th, 11th and The Waafery. It is one of the surprises hidden in this jewel of a course.

Another great course

Played here a few times now and found it to be a very nice undulating course with some testing holes. Conditions are excellent and the welcoming hut can be visited twice on your round for tasty snacks and drinks

Great views from the course

A friendly & well run club. Lots of slopes and a few tight greens and fairways to navigate.

Fairways struggling to recover from the hot dry spell as are many courses in the area. Greens in good condition nonetheless.

Great Golf Club and Course

Fantastic Customer service with a smile and the course was in great condition. The course itself has a lot of wonderful holes where there are certain shots to be played.

Little Gem

This course is so tucked away that it seems like a hidden gem especially as two times visited it seems reasonably quiet.
Great course conditions and a friendly welcome. Open fairways give the chance to really open up the shoulders.

Class Above

Myself and 3 friends played Beds and County yesterday, it was a really enjoyable experience. The fairways are in fantastic condition, and the greens rolled well, they have recently done some work on them but they still played well. I did find myself in 5 bunkers on the way round and they were excellent to say the least. This is my favorite of all the courses around Bedford.

Fantastic though Busy course, I played on a Friday afternoon and it was very busy,I played in a two ball though had to start on the 11th. we got held up for the last 8 holes due to very slow play from 2 golfers that did not think to let players through. overall a great experience with some fantastic holes, quite a tight course so you had to think your way around, I think I only got the driver out twice. only downside was the state of the bunkers. terrible sand and most were filled with water.

Played in the Bedfordshire County Senior Championships, and the greens had been set up at 10.0 on the stimp meter. They were very fast, but running steadily and true. Avoided the bunkers, but they looked like they have done some improvements since I last played the course. Tees and fairways were all good, and with not much of a breeze, we all should ahve been scoring quite well. Food was very good, and all in all we were well looked after.

My new favourite Course

Played here for the first time and really enjoyed the course. Very well presented, immaculate Greens and fairways.
The members extremely welcoming as was the guy in the Proshop. Everyone friendly. Nice bar area.
Only negative was went into the bar expecting a nice lunch as to be told no chef in and therefore no food other than Crisps. Pubs nearby however so no great issue.

Course played really well, fairways well kept and greens very very true and a good pace. A little congested on back nine due to number of players on course but still a good pace of play. only complaint would be most of the par 3's were teeing off of mats when the grass tees looked in good condition.
