Mostly clear but unkempt fairways, no signage and ambiguous tee areas

Stunning parkland with rolling hills, 2 lakes and mature woodland. A full 18 basket course. Shops, bars and restaurants. Maps and discs at sports centre.

This course is the oldest 18 double chained basket course in England and starts at the top of the visitors car park and finishes at the tennis courts by the sports centre. The mature parkland surrounding the University offers the disc golfer lots of challenges including the infamous lake hole, where many a disc has been lost. The parkland is undulating with lots of little woods, which have been utilized very well for the course. The course has a mixture of concrete and grass tees, the grass tees are marked with a wooden marker at the front of the tee.
