Colmworth and North Beds Golf Club ☆ Follow

Colmworth & North Beds Golf Club is an 18-hole par 72 parkland course located in rural North Bedfordshire, established in 1991. The championship course measures 6,387 yards from the white tees and is situated on New Road in Colmworth, approximately 6 miles north of Bedford. The course is set in a tranquil environment with mature landscaping and features a prominent water hazard—a large central lake that comes into play on the back nine holes, significantly increasing the challenge and interest of the round.

The course presents moderate difficulty with a slope rating of 130 from the championship tees and a course rating of 71.2. The 12th hole is recognized as the signature hole and is noted for its strategic difficulty overlooking the lake. The layout begins with relatively straightforward front-nine holes before becoming more interesting and challenging on the back nine as the lake comes into play. The course is well-maintained with firm fairways and greens in excellent condition, supported by a modern clubhouse with restaurant and bar facilities.

Beyond the main 18-hole course, the club offers a par 3 nine-hole course (par 27, 611 yards) available for combination play, a driving range, and putting practice area. Additional amenities include self-catering holiday cottages and fishing opportunities on the lake, making it a comprehensive golf destination for visitors.
