Mount Pleasant Golf Club is open to the public and situated in some beautiful Bedfordshire countryside in the village of Lower Stondon, which is within easyreach of Hitchin, Luton, Bedford and Stevenage.

We have a very attractive 9-hole golf course, with 18 different tees, offering a

golfing challenge of nearly 6,200 yards with a par of 70. The layout is always immaculately presented and incorporates an abundance of natural features.

Our fantastic award-winning clubhouse is perfect for celebrations of all types and sizes including weddings, birthday and anniversary parties. The building can

be split into different-sized rooms that can accommodate from 10 to over 100 people. We have great cateringfacilities, with lovely views across the golf course, ample parking and are an excellent venue for conferences.

For a refreshing drink, filling snack or a relaxing dining experience, head for the

Welcome


Fairway Bar & Bistro, where everyone will be looked after by our caring andattentive staff.

A comparatively young club, formed in 1992, you will find this translates into a positive. There is a youthful enthusiasm, warmth and friendliness about MountPleasant and we are proud to be a family-

run business that cares. New faces are not strangers for very long and there is none of the stuffiness to be found at many ‘traditional’ golfing establishments. The new clubhouse opened in 2010 and won the prestigious award of Club Mirror ‘Proprietary Club of the Year 2010’.

We very much look forward to welcoming you for what we are sure will be a memorable visit.


Mount Pleasant opened for play in July 1992 and has established a reputation for its excellent condition and presentation. The Club is open for Pay & Play as well as offering flexible membership options.

It is a very attractive nine-hole golf course, with 18 different tees, covering about 70 acres. From the white tees it measures nearly 6,200 yards with a par of 70.

The course has been designed to provide an interesting challenge, as well as a fair test of golf to established players, but not be too intimidating to enthusiastic beginners.

The layout incorporated three meadows, with existing trees, hedges, ponds and ditches. Some 10,000 extra trees, mainly indigenous species, were planted and all of these plantations are now very well

established, making for some excellent tree-lined holes.

By using the well-proven construction principals recommended by the English Golf Union and incorporating a good drainage and irrigation system, the course is playable all year round.

Some revisions to the course have taken place over the years. A new 4th/13th

The Course


green has been built, extending a short par 4 by some 70 yards. The old green was excavated to form a large pond. A new tee has been built for the 18th hole and new tees have also been constructed to add further length for competitions.

Mount Pleasant Golf Club is owned and managed by the Simkins family, who previously farmed the land. The course complements the environment,

using the natural contours of the land, and its maintenance is carried out in a sustainable way.

See our website for more fantastic photographs and hole descriptions.


The clubhouse (known as the Fairway Bar & Bistro) is open to the public and has a fantastic view overlooking the course, with a covered veranda for year-round outside seating.

A full catering service is available seven days a week, providing quality food prepared and cooked by our own chefs using fresh ingredients and innovative menus. Food is served daily between 9amand 3pm, offering an extensive bar menu, providing club favourites and good quality traditional homemade food. On Sunday’s food is served until 4pm with traditional Sunday roasts from 12pm, prepared for you fresh from our kitchen.

The bistro menu is available as an addition to the bar menu on Wednesday to Saturday evenings, from 6pm to 9pm, with the chefs using their culinary expertise tocreate some of their favourite dishes.

The fully licenced bar is supported by Fullers Brewery, offering London Pride on cask, as well as a selection of ales, lager and ciders. Unusually for a golf club, our real ales have ‘Cask Marque’ accreditation.

The Clubhouse


Our wine selection cannot be purchased on the high street, again offering just that little something different.

The contemporary lounge area is a great place to meet and relax with friends over a cup of fair trade coffee and a slice of delicious homemade cake.

The construction is a single storey timber build and is sympathetic to the surrounding

environment. Care was taken to make the building as environmentally friendly as possible, using air source heating and energy efficient lighting. The new facilities function rooms available for hire for conference and training needs, as well as private parties, events & weddings.

Pop in and see what we have to offer or, to make a booking, call 01462 810104 or visit our website www.mountpleasantgolfclub.co.uk.

Our PGA Golf Professional is Pete Blanch. Pete has been a qualified member of the PGA since 1996, and been working within golf for the last 25 years.

He has worked as Assistant manager and head teaching Professional at American Golf in Biggleswade, A1 Golf Range in Borehamwood, as well as private golf clubs including John O’Gaunt, Welwyn Garden City and Letchworth.

Pete feels there are no two people the same, and therefore tries to treat each pupil as individuals, your golf will be defined by your personality, and it would be unwise to work against this. How you practice, think,

your personal circumstances, motivation and play the game will be different from one person to another.

V1 golf video analysis is used on every lesson, and can be emailed to the pupil on request, along with lesson notes for your reference.

The structure of a golf shot is simple and rigid, although the content will differ from person to person depending on your individual faults.

The aim is to try to help make you the best you can be.

Junior golf coaching is held every Saturday morning throughout the year.

Level 1: beginners 9.00am

Level 2: intermediate 10.00am

Level 3: experienced 11.00am

You can sample the sessions on a roll up basis for £5.00, or commit to each 13 week period and take your certificate at the end to move up to the next level, a one to one coaching session per month is included in the price at £50.00
