About
Mowsbury Golf Course, located in Bedford, offers a challenging and picturesque 18-hole course designed by Martin Hawtree. Established in May 1975 by the Bedford Borough Council in response to the increasing demand for accessible golf, the course has since matured into a well-maintained public facility with stunning views of the North Bedfordshire countryside.
Affiliated with England Golf, Bedfordshire County Golf Union, and Bedfordshire Ladies County Golf Association, Mowsbury Golf Club was formed alongside the course's opening to provide golfers with opportunities to play competitively and gain officially recognised handicaps. The club welcomes golfers of all skill levels and offers a range of practise facilities including a driving range with floodlighting, a practise putting green, and squash courts.
The course itself offers a fair challenge to both beginners and experienced players, with strategically placed ponds, ditches, and bunkers ready to claim any errant shots. Players will particularly enjoy the 16th green, known as the hardest hole on the course, which offers stunning views across south Bedford and the historic airship hangars in Cardington.
Mowsbury Golf Course is managed by Fusion, an organisation that oversees various leisure facilities for the local council. The facility provides a range of options for green fees, including pay-as-you-play options, midweek and twilight discounts, and annual packages. Additionally, golfers can combine their golf membership with access to the onsite gym and swimming facilities for a comprehensive fitness package.
The course also welcomes younger golfers, offering a progressive fee structure that allows them to continue playing golf at a reasonable rate as their earning power increases. Golf societies and groups are also invited to experience Mowsbury Golf Course and can choose from a variety of options tailored to their needs.
With its rich history, well-maintained facilities, and beautiful surroundings, Mowsbury Golf Course promises a memorable golfing experience for players of all ages and skill levels. Visit their website for a course flyover and more information on booking tee times and memberships.
