Pros:
Tee markers: Every hole has a map at the tee so you know exactly what challenge awaits you.
Benches: Some Tee's have benches for you to wait on (not all but most).
Clubhouse: When you sign in at the spa, you are invited in to use the lounge if you wish. Very plush!
Baskets: All new disc catchers, which are in great condition

Cons:
Red Course: There is a longer 12 hole red course also on the site, however there is no map on arrival, and it is virtually impossible to follow the layout without a guide. This is why only the Blue course has been listed on the site.
Tees: Some are grass, some are mud

Hole Descriptions:
Hole 1: Short, straight drive into a ring of trees. Could be harder in the summer when the leaves grow on the tree's
Hole 2: Slight dogleg left around the big beech tree, beware of the fenced area if you go far left as it is OB.
Hole 3: Short, downhill shot. Definatly a birdie opportunity.
Hole 4: This hole plays through the mini orchard which the spa have planted. The basket appears to be in an apple grove so maybe be able to pick an apply for your round?
Hole 5: A tough uphill, dogleg right. 2 route options are available either straight through the gap and then right, or for the adventurous go straight over the trees
Hole 6: Another tough hole. OB right in front of the tee. You must clear the gate/fence to be inbounds. If not advance to the Red spot marked on the tee marker
Hole 7: A short hole, which is deceptively difficult. Firstly you need to clear the fence with your tee shot (you are not OB if you don't), but then also you cant see the basket from the Tee, just a hole in the trees to aim for.
Hole 8: A straight wooded hole. Pin point accuracy needed to reach the basket with your drive
Hole 9: Another wooded hole, however this one kinks in the middle. Perfect for a forehand drive, but beware of the fitness equipment on the edges of the hole, they can impede your stance!
A great little course. Perfect for practicing an array of different shots
