What The Club Says

Dunstable Downs Golf Club provides an interesting challenge for golfers of all abilities. There are 18 holes over 6251 yards par 70. Holes 1 to 10 are parkland in nature; holes 11 to 18 along the top of the Downs are very "links" in nature.

The present layout was planned by James Braid and constructed by J.A. Stutt of Paisley (who also constructed the Championship Course at Carnoustie) in 1930. Originally 6,600 yards, the course today measures 6251 yards and features welcoming fairways requiring an infinite variety of approach shots to score well.

A course that offers fantastic views of the Downs. The staff were very welcoming and the course played well. The greens were in good shape and putts rolled faster than you expected. The 8th and 9th were stand out holes, but most holes had very creative green complexes.

Great course with the quickest greens I have ever played on. Almost to the point that they became unplayable. But they had their club championship the next day. Other than that the course is a gem

Wonderful course

This & Denham are my 2 favourite Braid courses so make a pilgrimage here every year. Sometimes the gliders put you off your putt but worth it. Greens superb & variety of holes ideal. Just a joy

Reviewed May 31 2024

Hadn't been here for some years. Played on a society day. Club did an excellent job of looking after us on the day and food pre, mid and post round was excellent. Course was in great nick though the putting green appeared to be a bit slower than those on the course. Otherwise excellent. The course is very interesting in itself and a good challenge, being more parkland on the front and downland on the back whereby you're up much higher. Well worth a visit.
