Golf to tee off at Bedford’s Mowsbury course on March 29

Fusion Lifestyle and Bedford Borough Council are pleased to announce that in line with the government roadmap, golf facilities at Mowsbury Golf and Squash Centre will reopen on March 29.

The 18-hole course and driving range will give golf fans the opportunity to get back to the sport they love, in a safe and secure way.

The centre will be operating in line with the latest government guidelines and those planning to visit will be required to book and pay online, minimising contact required at the centre and allowing for the track and trace process to be implemented. 

Centre users will be asked to arrive ready to play.  These measures, combined with meticulous cleaning routines, are designed to keep customers safe and offer complete confidence to use the facilities.

Fusion is working with Bedford Borough Council to reopen other facilities in the area in a phased approach in line with the government roadmap.

Anthony Cawley, Director of Operations at Fusion said: “We are really excited we will be able to start welcoming the local community back to our centres, starting with golf from 29th March.  We know how important our leisure facilities for the health and wellbeing of the local community so we’ll be doing our best to offer the choice of as many outdoor options as we can while we are waiting to open more facilities.”

Cllr Doug McMurdo, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture at Bedford Borough Council, added: “I am pleased the Borough’s leisure facilities will start to reopen on March 29, with outdoor activities leading the way.  

“We are working closely with Fusion Lifestyle on the reopening programme. We look forward to helping our residents and communities get back to what they enjoy, being more active in many ways. It is key we encourage a good lifestyle balance, throughout the year.”
