-It's free!
-Good mix of shot shapes challenged as well as good use of elevation and ceiling height. I think this course challenges lefties/righties and forehand/backhand fairly equally.
-Really easy to navigate, good flow to the course.
-Interacts with the park really well on the whole, have to wait/use a spotter every now and then but tends not to affect the experience too much.

-Not a huge fan of some of the use of mandos, my main example being hole 16. Missing the double mando normally results in a poor shot anyway and it doesn't force a line that isn't already forced by the current shape of the hole, it just incurs a rather harsh penalty stroke. Over the course of a round a couple of these can leave you with a bit of an unfair score.
-Some of the tee pads are worn/short/have scary holes in them.
-11 demands a high anny/spike hyzer flick to a blind landing area. It's fairly safe with a spotter but can cause the only really annoying wait on the course.

- Makes excellent use of the available property
- Good variety of holes demanding different shots, well rounded players will do well here
- Good use of OB and Mandos to make the course interesting
- Very accessible, could be played with a cart, a push-chair or both

- Not many long holes
- No real "signature" hole that I look forward to playing next time
- A little too much OB in the circle for my personal taste
- A lot of pedestrians - but they do know the sport and wait for you to throw!

It's a course well worth playing if you are in the area, however I wouldn't suggest travelling out of your way to play it.
Quarry Park is a much more satisfying disc golf experience if you only have time for one, but it does cost to play and is less accessible for those with carts or family in tow

Fun layout to play that challenges a variety of shot shapes.
Full 18 with decent baskets.
Gentle elevation changes provide interest.
Good drainage meant that there were very few boggy patches even during a very wet autumn.
Lots of nice trees to shout at, I mean, to enjoy.
Parking available.
The Servicemen's club has facilities and a bar.

Tees pad were either astroturf or uneven ground. They were slippy underfoot despite wearing trail shoes.

Tarmac walking paths criss-cross the course as it is in a public park. Frequent use of spotters and lots of patience is necessary.

The layout relies quite heavily on marked OB and mandos. This creates a fun challenge while also ensuring public safety but not all players will enjoy them.

Mostly easy to navigate. Variety of holes and tees to suit all abilities. Easy to park and find.

Challenging holes in the summer when trees in full bloom.

Some holes cross or are near paths so you sometimes need spotters and/or patience.

Some confusion as to out of bounds.

Some of the out of bounds areas are horrible, especially around holes 11-13.

Watch out for kids on the hill near 14 too.

Baskets sometimes a bit vandalised.

Good parking nearby
Tee signs are accurate
Multiple tee pads on some holes
Liked the mixture of short and long holes
Great use of space including trees and elevation
OB and Mandos create an extra challenge
Cafe in the leisure centre
It is FREE to play...

Get a Map as next holes are not always obvious (UDisc looks to be up to date)
Be aware of other Park users
Some tees do not have pads
Wear some grippy shoes as can be slippery / muddy in places

Overall was very impressed with the course. With parking close by and the cafe near the course it would be easy to spend a day playing the course. The mixture of holes that require different types of shots will really test your skills. Be aware of the OB bunkers when you are putting.

Played two rounds and once you know the layout it's very easy to get round in under 2hours. I would recommend it but think that it may get crowded with other Park users in the summer months. Most people seemed to be aware of what we were doing as moved on in good time. Mutual respect allowed the game to flow with other Park users. Do not throw if within distance or the way is not clear.

A great course and as it is free to play, is a great day out. Post on the Bedworth Disc Golf Facebook page and there is a chance of one of the locals guiding you round for the first time.

- easy access, public park, no cost to park or play
- good baskets, navigation, and overall course flow (long and short tee signs are good, plus arrows on baskets to navigate)
- adequate tees (turf)
- fun golf with lines to hit and good use of the city park's offerings (also good park features for family - my wife and toddler spent enough time walking the park and at the playground that I got to finish my 18)

- first tee a little hard to find (I gave up and threw to the correct basket from the wrong location)
- frequent interactions with course path and pedestrians
- holes 12 & 13 are easy to skip by accident

I played this course and Quarry Park during a visit to Birmingham. While Quarry Park (on private land) was the better course, Bedworth Miner's Welfare DGC was a pleasant surprise. Both are worth traveling to if you're seeking disc golf in the UK. I know rhatton1 is working hard on several projects (I assume and hope that he has some help!) and new courses to improve the area's course offerings, and more courses like this would give the area a respectable selection indeed.

In summary, this is a standard public park course of medium length. The course plays primarily through a relatively open public park, though with strategically placed shot-altering trees throughout. The initial section was not my favorite, with several holes packed just a little too tightly together for my liking. The baskets for 4, 7, and 8 were very close together. The target basket was clear in all instances, but I imagine this initial half of the course could get awkward with a tournament or busy day of disc golf. Don't get me wrong: I had fun here and enjoyed the relatively short holes with some good lines. But overall the holes felt a bit crowded. Hole 5 was an exception, with a tight wooded line and good, challenging basket placement.

From hole 9 onward, the course noticeably started to hit its stride and cover more ground. Hole 9 was a par 4 with some ups and downs in terrain and decently placed trees. Hole 11 was also a fun par 4 from longs, and I benefited from a decent RHFH game to leave a 40m approach over an old golf bunker. Holes 12 & 13 were a nice touch, two more technical holes nestled into a more wooded part of the course (located up and away from the park path between hole 11's basket and 14's tee). 12 had a small window to hit but was fair, and 13 was a longer shot, also fairly obstructed off the tee and toward the green. (I spent a while looking for my favorite Star Teebird here, and thankfully found it suspended in a tree.)

The rest of the park returned to park golf, and for some reason I enjoyed these last five holes more than the first eight. 14 was entirely open but the basket was placed precipitously before a long downslope. 15 through 18 were fun open/technical shots using some mandos and good park trees to force lines.

I played on a weekday morning, and encountered just two groups of golfers. One pairing consisted of brand new players from Italy (studying in Coventry), and another group appeared to be locals but were leaving as I showed up. Other folks in the park included some workers trimming trees in the first half of the course and numerous pedestrians with or without their leashed furry friends. There were two holes where I waited for pedestrians to move out of range. On one hole (15), a dad and his buggy-riding toddler watched me empty my 5-disc bag on the fun downhill shot away from the park path. Safety was no issue, though it's the golfer's responsibility to make sure no one is in danger. My impression is that park users are growing accustomed to disc golf in their park, but that they're still undecided on how welcoming they will be. Don't put disc golf on the black list by putting someone at risk!

Rating & Discussion: I find myself wanting to give a 3.25, between "good" (3.0) and "very good" 3.5 (very good), and I'll bump to 3.5 because the park is used so well and because I was so happy to find good quality park golf in England. May there be many more like this when I get back to the UK!

This course does a great job of using everything this park has to offer. The first few holes weave in and out of each other but provide many different types of shots to play. The trees are placed in areas that require you to truly think through your shot before just ripping one off the tee pad. You'll throw backhands, flicks, low-canopy drives, and rollers out here. The back half of the course is visually stunning with the mix of elevation and vegetation. Hole 15 felt like I was driving off the top of a mountain. It was great fun!

Specifics:
- Tee signs on every tee pad
- Mandos force thought in every shot selection
- Great mix of straight, left, right holes
- Arrows indicate direction of next teepad on each basket
- Well maintained park
- Easy parking and facilities
- Straight up fun course

Two big things... people and rough.

First it's a very popular park so there are people everywhere. You really need to take care in planning your drive around blind corners, or better yet have a spotter, because it was rare to get an opportunity to get a clean drive in for more than a minute or so.

Second, the rough is very rough. I think this is typical of most UK courses though. Between thick trees and nettles, if a disc drops into the woods, it's going to be hard to find it. Also some of the wildflowers were tricky to navigate to find discs. Again, spotters are helpful here.

Basket one was missing on my visit, but the club said they were going to put up another one soon.

This really is a great course, but also with a great club. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming to visitors. I had the opportunity to play a round with some of the locals and genuinely enjoyed it. If you're in the area, this is a great course to check out.

Easy to access via public transport.
I found the course to be very well laid out, although I did have 2 superb guides to help me. On my own, without a map, I may have struggled in places.
Excellent tee markers. The maps are really accurate.

Trying to navigate from 7th to 8th and from 13th to 14th could be tricky if you don't know the course. The rest flow well into each other.

Course desperately needs tee pads on all Tees. Some have astroturf but most are muddy pits at the moment.

Lovely park, great stuff on offer. Leisure center with cafe, another cafe at the other end. Very picturesque and lots of car parking (although I got ticketed by the leisure center that I'm disputing as the machine wasn't working in the morning - so watch out!)

18 hole Blue course has a great mix of holes, really well thought out and superb use of the space availbale. A couple of really fun and challenging par 4's that ask you to make decisions on the course, some of the par 3's are excellent.

Makes a difference playing on golf fairways with bunkers that come into play on a couple of holes.

I'm a huge fan of the course design and the signature hole number 8 is just lovely. So short so easy, so easy to take a 5 or worse. I loved pinball wizard as well, so many different routes to take, although it could use some branches coming down. 18 again is a different hole, asking you to weave a disc around/through multiple stands of poplars, beautifully made hole.

Tees on some holes are lovely astro, could do with being a bit longer, but laid really well so you can run on without noticing or tripping.

Tee signs are stunning, lovely graphics, really well detailed and distances seem to be bang on.

Other park users. Dog walkers especially. I had a favourite putter mangled by a dog - not a good experience!

Dog doo - everywhere, including one of the tees. What's wrong with these people!?

Couple of criticisms with the design - plays alongside a couple of paths on holes 10,11 and 17,18 - leads to a lot of waiting, would be slightly worried about the safety especially on 11 which lands blind.

11 is a lot harder than the other holes. really tough. This is a great hole, but just doesn't seem in context?

Couple of the bunkers are probably a bit too close to the baskets, but the holes are short so I can see why they were placed there - could just lead to some unlucky arbitrary extra shots.

Tee pad on 15? Donwhill hole, but you run uphill, it's a strange one, not sure if this is a criticism or not, as I had to radically change the way I throw to not throw a stalled out hyzer, I'd almost put this in as a pro as you can actually standstill a shot to the basket by using the elevation to your advantage.

Difficult to find hole 12 after 11, wandered around for a while and found 14 and then worked it back from there. I've heard a welcome sign is going in so hopefully that will help.

Edit* Another con I just thought of yet still giving it a 4! Teepads were only in on 5 holes last time I played a couple of months ago and it was wet underfoot. Needs 13 more tees pretty badly.

Edit 2* I meant to put a disclaimer on this - this is a 4 star "UK course" - and the rating is more based on the design, which is very good rather than the overall course and amenities which don't really stack up in comparison to most 4 star US courses. In the states this would probably be a 3/3.5 kind of course (no tee benches, not tee pads throughout, lack of trash cans etc.) for pure fun playing though it definitely gets the 4 star.

All in all a very well designed course and great fun to play. Not a Gold standard course but a good blue standard with some elements of Gold creeping in. Free to play and I would happily play here over and over.

Brilliant facilities at the park - 2 x cafes, toilets, other sports.
Easy to get to and easy to find free parking all day
Great mix of different holes, and shots required to play it. You walk away from hole after hole wanting to throw it again to try a different line.
Disc hire on site.
Good signage for each hole and next tee signage - still waiting for welcome board Jan 2015
Good mix of distance in the holes ranging from challenging 60 meter ace runs to tricky 2 shot par 4's

The championship course is not permanent so only the blue and red courses are playable at the moment.
No pro shop
Lots of dog walkers cross the park.
Dog mess
Hole 11 Izzers Elbow is probably out of sync difficulty wise with the rest of the course, (Edit update - this hole has softened slightly with time and the OB wildflower areas have been cut back a bit making it fairer) OB definition is not great here and in a few other spots. OB probably not the best use of rule on this hole, Bunc'r may have been a better option.
Couple of blindish holes make it difficult to play a full round safely by yourself in a well used park
Astro tees could do with being longer on some of the holes.

Great place to play - a massive shame that the par 61 championship course is only available currently on a temporary basis as this is a gold standard course and introduces water and length.

Very friendly local club will help you on your way but easy to play by yourself.

18 Innova Discatchers permanently in situ and astroturf tees (at the moment these haven't all been completed - Jan 2015 - update April 2017, club have installed 2 more so up to seven of the 18 done)

One of the best courses in the country and well worth a visit even for the blue course which is fun and challenging. Red course is a great challenge to beginners and pro level players honing their short game, the walks between some of the holes on the red course are not totally intuitive though and not all tees have astro mats down, it does feel that the focus has been on the blue rather than the red course flow, although the individual holes are good and aren't just shorter versions of the longer blues

Fantastic fun to play on golf standard greens and fairways allowing long range rollers and skip shots. Bunkers make for an interesting hazard.
