What The Club Says
Compared with most other golf clubs of similar standing, we would be considered fairly young as we were only established in 1948. We have, however, an outstanding record of progress and development the match of any other private members golf club in England and have hosted many National and Regional Tournaments.
With two excellent courses we aim to offer both members, and visitors alike, a wonderful welcome and golfing experience that we hope will encourage them to return at their earliest opportunity.

Great Parkland layout
Course is very pleasing on the eye with every hole providing a different challenge to the last. This was my first visit so found myself out of position on a few holes which meant hitting the GIR was either a challenge or not possible.Greens were in great condition although the fairways were dry but not hard.
Food and drink was very well prepared and tasty. I didn't use all of the clubhouse facilities but everything was clean and tidy.

Great set-up and 2 courses
The old course is renowned as one of the best courses in Bedfordshire, and probably the first place Nick Faldo won an open competition (as a junior in 1973). The Carthagena course was built in the mid 70s, and has come along nicely, and has better drainage. Both are a good challenge in their own right.We played the Old Course, which is well laid out and a delight to play.
Bunkers: I only visited one greenside bunker during this visit and they played and looked immaculate, all being freshly raked by the greenkeepers and the players in front of us. This is hardly surprising, as this round was to celebrate Bedfordshire County?s Centenary, and John O?Gaunt's 75th Anniversary. As such, we played a shotgun start, and the teams represented every club in our county, and also the County Scratch mixed team, and England Golf (including the CEO), who ran out the eventual winners.
Fairways were perfect, and had some serious undulations to deal with, making for some tricky shots.
Just as in my last round here - in their Seniors Pairs Open, we also played from the back tees, where the WHS course rating is 133. The longer par 4s are hard to reach in 2 for us older guys, and that certainly showed, and explains why we were well down the pecking order (but not quite last) as we had 3 out of 4 of us being seniors.
Greens were quite quick, and very true, with the ball going exactly where you sent it, but without any recent rain, they were a little unreceptive, unless you hit the ball very hard.
The course has many very mature trees, and there was a concerted effort during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 to pollard a number of the older ones, and also remove the few dead ones that were still in place at the end of Summer 2020.
Food was included with this competition, so I can't comment on food or prices, but I have eaten here before, and remember it as always being of a very good standard. The bar is well organised, and they coped well with all 100 players turning up at a similar time after the shotgun start, and then finishing at the same time.
All in all an enjoyable day, and I would certainly recommend, and I will be back as soon as possible, as I always enjoy playing here.
