John, the organiser, shares this note with the sports community to highlight upcoming improvements and initiatives at Dunstable Downs Golf Club. The club intends to enhance the golfing experience for all abilities while preserving the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Downs. Efforts are being made to promote sustainable management practices and upgrade playing facilities to meet high standards. This includes developing greens, fairways, and bunkers and investing in modern maintenance equipment. Club facilities, including the clubhouse, pro shop, and practice areas, will also see improvements to ensure a pleasant experience for both members and visitors.
The Management Committee, along with the dedicated greens staff, is committed to the 2020 Vision plan, guided by James Braid's original design philosophy. The aim is to offer a challenging yet enjoyable golf experience. The 18-hole course spans 6,273 yards with a par of 70, suitable for golfers of all levels. The chalky subsoil ensures playable conditions throughout the year, with fast, true contoured greens adding to the excitement.
Located on Whipsnade Road, just two miles southwest of Dunstable, the club is situated atop the Chiltern Hills, nearly 800 feet above sea level, offering panoramic views across seven counties. The bracing air and downland turf make for an ideal golfing location.
Dunstable Downs prides itself on its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The club offers various membership options catering to individuals, couples, and juniors. Visitors and societies are also welcome to enjoy the course and its facilities.
With a fully stocked pro shop, practice areas, and a clubhouse offering refreshments, Dunstable Downs ensures that each visit is enjoyable. John and the team look forward to welcoming golf enthusiasts to this picturesque course for an unforgettable experience. Whether a local resident or visiting from afar, Dunstable Downs Golf Club offers a memorable golfing experience.
