Slowest round in 15 years
Lovely lay out to the course for a municipal track, lots of leaves but to be expected this time of the year. Greens pretty slow but wasn’t expecting them to be amazing due to it being a municipal. Would have happily played here again but a society of 20 odd older gentleman were playing in 4 balls in front of. No marshalling of the pace of play what so ever and none made the effort to even try and speed up. 5.5 hours for 18 holes, waiting to hit every shot even ending up as a 5 ball due to two solos catching us up and not being able to play through. Even as a five we were waiting on every tee box for at least 5 minutes.
Nice course
Nice course , but way too many leaves around and lost a few ball in them , also greens had a lot of pitch marks on them , but that down to bad golfers , course is in good condition and looking forward to going back there .
Perfect
I learnt to play the great game of golf and Mowsbury has become my favourite course everything about this place is perfect course club house staff
Mowsbury Golf Course Bedford
Played the course on a quite Monday afternoon and loved it. The course was in good condition, a few bunkers are GIR, but that didn't stop me have a great experience. The course has a number of holes that I really like, like the 15 and 16. I would recommend this course and look forward to playing it again
Mowsbury
Lovely course in good condition. Greens are well kept. Staff are friendly.
Condition not amazing
Played a round here late August for the first time in a couple of years, condition wasn’t great and looks like they have let it slip, used to be pretty good, a lot of bare areas and damage to the greens, all being said, it was a cheap round and I like the layout of the course, I hope this is due to the hot weather of late but I’m not sure that can be entirely to blame, 90% of bunkers were gur, although they were not under repair, just neglected with compacted sand/mud and weeds
Lovely course, let down in other areas.
Arrived around noon Sunday, went straight for the bar for a refreshing Drink before our round. Checked in at the golf shop which was a little sparse in merchandise and greeted by two gentlemen who looked like they wanted to be anywhere but there. We did manage an earlier tee time though.
Course was lovely, well laid out, challenging and diagrams showing the layout of the hole (very useful for a new player at this club) Lots of broken tees on the boxes and not all holes had a bin, clearly which was a problem for some golfers as they tipped the contents of their drinking sessions under the tree or next to the tee boxes themselves.
After completing the round at 16:45, after a hard walk in I am told 30 degree peak heat we wondered up to the bar yet again but as we park up our clubs we are told the clubhouse closes at 5pm! I refer to my previous comment on when we finished. Unfortunately this left a sour note in our mouths when all we wanted was a pint or indeed anything to clench our thirst!
Overall the course was great and I would recommend it too fellow players, I would tell them to make sure they go with everything they need already and get an early round to avoid a closed bar at the end.
Good course - great value
Enjoyed my first round at Mowsbury, the course has a few hills which make it interesting, and also the view from the 16th green is a great reward towards the end of the round, you can see right across to the Cardington Hangars. Challenging enough for most golfers, and some wide fairways to make you more comfortable.

Fantastic course and really friendly members who took me under their wing and showed me around my first time on the course. Fantastic value for money and the course is in brilliant condition, especially considering it’s a municipal course! I will definitely be coming back here for many years to come.
Good value for money
I have played here a few times now and always believe it offers really good value for money. The fairways are in good nick and although slow, the greens are good too. The undergrowth under the trees had recently been cut too which was a welcome bonus. They do seem to have some budget challenges as quite a few bunkers are left to grass over or have a long term 'GUR' flag in them but overall - really enjoyable.
A poorly mowed field
If playing a course with no fairways, thick uncut rough, slow , bobbly weed infested greens, and poor beaten up tee boxes with golfers playing in groups of 5's and 6's in jeans and doc Martins is your vibe then get in there and book a tee time.
If not avoid like the plague
Enjoyable Round
A nice mix of holes, in very good condition. Staff and facilities first class too. We will be back
Great value
We played using a great discount from Golf Now which gave the two of us a round for less than half the price of other nearby courses.
The course is not long but in good condition, the greens were a little slow but in great condition and consistent.
We will happily play there again, especially at such a good price.
