Really interesting course
Very tight on most holes, only the newer holes are at all forgiving. Tees, greens and fairways all in great condition. Strange layout in places with crisscrossing holes, but common sense makes it no problem.(Round played: Aug 2017 - Score: 90 Handicap: 17.8)

Front 9 quite long with narrow fairway. Back 9 is tougher but can score well on.

Following a weekend of heavy rain, greens were slower than I expected but running true, and mostly consistent (I'm sure a couple of greens were slower that most). Fairways looked very good for this early in the year. Some changes to the course has left my yardage book out of date, and they don't have a new one yet, so I had the wrong club in hand a few times. Only visited one bunker, but they all seemed well stocked with sand, and well maintained.
As a guest of the Bedfordshire Past Captains Society I didn't have to pay, but the food was everything they promised, and the round was at a comfortable pace. There are a few points on the course where tees/greens (and even adjoining fairways) are a little close, so keep vigilant, and if anyone does shout 'fore' be aware. The course itself is quite tight (especially the last 2 holes) so go for straightness rather than length - it'll save you a lot of shots!
Overall a nice course and I'm looking forward to coming back.

Very good condition for the time of year, Front nine is decent but the second nine steps up a gear.Unfortunately, the signature par 3 11th wasn't in action but the temporary hole to replace it is fun. Last 3 holes are brilliant. Will definitely be back.

Very nice parkland course, accuracy is needed from the tee as fairways are tight and positional tee shot is required. Has some great holes that need thinking about.

Very good, well kept course. Several holes where other holes shoot over the top which can catch you out. Lack of yardage markers makes approach shots a bit of a guess. Excellent shop and good coaching facilities.

Greens and fairways are much improved over the early part of the year, although the greens are still a little firm.
Surroundingds are as beautiful as ever, the course is a good challenge for accurate golf.
Food is v.good too

pretty course
Leighton Buzzard is not long but is challenging with tight fairways and lots of trees.Greens were excellent and ran very true.
You really have to plot your way round to make a good score.
Well worth a visit.

Wow, Is all I can say. The course was in great condition. After seeing it was a private members club, I was astounded with the friendly welcome from the other members, even the juniors!!! Back to the golf however, very challenging!! The course from the scorecard is easy but hell no is it in real life!! Most holes are tight, requiring excellent thinking. The fairways were much improved compared with the other year or so I played the course. The greens were lightning, probably around 10-10.5 which on a wet day, in winter-ish is astounding!! The 11th is incredible, one of the best par 3's I have played in my long life!! The food was excellent in the clubhouse with decent prices for a private members club. However, the best part of the experience, were the staff. The pro shop were extremely helpful, notifying me of any changes to the course planner. The prices were astounding and the general feel was great. His name was Wayne I think( South African), the pro there, he was excellent and was extremely helpful with meeting my picky needs. So everall, a truly hidden gem for the time of year, played Woburn 2 days ago. And for less than half the price, way more than half the enjoyment, would definitely recommend to anyone, especially if they can hit it straight!!!
