Bedford - Bedfordshire - England

An OK course with a couple of noteworthy holes and well maintained. This course is worth playing if you in the area and is a nice course. Pros are it plays well all year round and its kept well and very well priced.

Negatives are the 8th hole (once a par4) has been shortened into a par 3 (disgruntled neighbour who chooses to buy a house next to a golf course, but doesn't want golf balls coming into his garden. hahaha. ridiculous, I do feel sorry for the club as it doesn't seem like that they can do anything about it) problem is that it almost duplicates the 9th hole in distance and direction so is undoubtedly disappointing walking down a previous fairway to a tee in the middle of the previous hole. I do feel that the 8th can be improved with a better test of play even though the circumstances. Maybe a longer par 3 or more bunkering or a bit of water involved. I dont know exactly what they should do, but its just too similar to the 9th to go unoticed.
