Worth the trip!
Pros: Very nice course with a good variety of holes.
Some elevation changes on the holes that add to the difficulty/variety.
A very nice park.

A very nice park.
Cons: Aging baskets, that could use a little maintenance. they had good heavy chains though and caught well. (except for hole 1 which was missing chains entirely!)
Watch out for locals walking the various paths that intersect and cross quite a few of the fairways.
Would be great to see improved tee boxes on this course. Cement or Rubber even would be better than the ruts that are forming on each hole.
Having a guide is recommended, and on some holes a spotter is a good idea, to watch out for people walking the park.

Other Thoughts: I was trying to find a way of playing disc while on a very short business trip to the UK. I posted on their local club's forum and got a response the same day from someone who would come out and help me.
He met me at the course with a few discs for me to borrow and we had a great round.
I wish I had more time to play another, but unfortunately I had a plan to catch. :(
If you play disc and are in London I definitly say you should make your way out and play a round or two. Even though DG is not very prevelant in the UK, this course is a good one. Not the best course I've ever played, but it's definitly better than many of the courses that I've played in Illinois.
Keep spreading the word about DG in the UK guys.

Pros: -Awesome DGr's
-Lot shots to the rights. Requires you to use your side arm if RHBHer's or be very acurrate with some BIG Anhyzers. Dream Date for lefty's
-Nice Discraft Baskets.
-With map easy to follow.
-Easy to get to get to.

Cons: -If you are RH'd and don't have a side arm... good luck!
-Tees are grass/dirt, marked by posts. Some of the tee pads are tripping/rolling ankle hazzards. (play within 2m of post)
-Weeds under trees are vicious, wear pants or your legs will go numb from all the stab'n/jab'n/poke'n for some neadle weeds.
-Not DG exclusive, but use a spotter and all is good.

Other Thoughts: This is a very fun course and a GREAT Practice course for RH sidearms.
All the guys I met were awesome.
Contact Richard Wood if you are travelling to London and have a chance to bang chains.
Richard mentioned that they are trying to add some additional baskets and add some more durable tee pads in.

Pros:
Map and directions available at http://www.croydondiscgolf.com/LloydPark.html make it easy to navigate the course.
Useful map at each tee area showing basket location.
Nice mixture of right/lefty/neutral advantage holes.

Cons:
Single basket, single tee, tee area dirt/grass/mud. Baskets have taken a bit of a beating.
Lot of trash scattered about the park.
Nettles will give you a persistent sting if you happen to touch them.

Other Thoughts:
Couple of holes under 150', couple of holes over 400', average for course just under 300'.
Gently rolling landscape with a few trees and bushes providing the obstacles.
Like most UK courses, ground is soft, so have a towel to wipe of your disc, wear water resistant shoes, and expect your discs to stick into the ground, vice roll, quite a bit.
About an hour by car from Heathrow. Can also reach the course from central London by train then tramlink, which has a stop right at the course!

Londons Best
Pros: A great 18 hole par 3 (one par 4) course.
For amateurs it is a perfect and accessible introduction to disc golf. For more experienced players there is plenty of room to air out and throw every single shot you know. As well as enough challenge to make you think.
Its even better when the winds up and its damp out, suits the UK!

Cons: Fairly simple, not very punishing to bad shots. Only one par 4, lacks some tech and tight wooded holes, although that wont stop you form taking that route! Could really do with some 'Pro' tee placements.
Other Thoughts: When this course was first installed some other local residents took exception to the baskets and set them on fire, beat them with baseball bats, filled them with rubbish, pulled them out the ground and threatened the organizers.
In the face of all this Rich Wood and the crew kept at it and the course does not disappoint.
The course is from the heart.
Much respect to all involved.
