Finally, a place in the UK to beat my discs in

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 6, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-It's a fully wooded course in the UK. This is excellent!
-This course looks fantastic. They have a really good aesthetic going using wood chips and log rounds from the development to build and signpost the course
-The design challenges a range of shot shapes, and is difficult but very fair. There's now a good number of par 4s with the addition of the blue layout. I really enjoyed being challenged to throw hyzer and anhyzer for both backhand and forehands. The course rewards the smart golfer in places, making good placement shots, but also there's opportunities to rip drivers through the woods which is great fun!
-Nice course equipment
-The course is very easy to navigate as it is well signposted, intuitive and paths are well cleared
-The rough has been really well managed so being off the fairway (which is inevitable) is not a horrible experience
-There is now a day ticket which greatly improves the value for money

Cons:

-The tee pads are an area for improvement course equipment wise. Currently they're quite uneven, mulchy wood chip areas which aren't the best feeling to run up on. I've slipped so many more times on the tees than I have on the fairways, which honestly makes me think that they're worse than having nothing

Other Thoughts:

This was so much fun to play. There's nothing like it in the Midlands and it just makes me want to play more woods golf. I'm really excited for the blue and gold layouts to come! The owner was lovely as well and it was really nice to talk about the development and the property with him. I fully expect to return to this review relatively soon and boost the rating as it is clearly only going to get better.

Updated from 3.5 to 4: With the addition of the blue course this finally feels like a complete property. I think it's still unfortunately situated, with Quarry Park so nearby it's noticeable how much less traffic this place gets. Hopefully more events get run here and a loyal player base starts to grow.
