Rewarding Challege 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Beautiful scenery set in woodland
Great on site facilities including cafe, snack shop and toilets
Disc hire available
Challenging course that rewards good shots

Cons:

Be aware of other site users as part of a camp site
Still some maintenance to fairways and tees required although almost close to completion

Other Thoughts:

One of my top 3 courses that I have played in the UK.
Being a woodland course, with the fairways carved through the trees, this course provides some excellent lines and a great feeling when you hit them.
Miss your line and end up off the fairway then you will be playing for par, at best! This course can really identify your skills and weaknesses..

The baskets are excellent and some real thought has gone in to create an experience that you will remember. Once all the tees are finished, and as the year progresses, this course will play diffirent with each visit.

With great facilities, camping and being surrounded by beautiful countryside, this is a must visit for anyone in the area!

Something a bit different 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 21, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

UPDATE: May 2019 & February 2020

Although there are still no permenant teepads, as of 2020 there are now woodchipped areas to tee from and some temporary astro-turf with tent-pegs remaining from a tournament played here. The course has been improved in several aspects since it was initially built. The tree thinning on hole 5,6,7 and 17 have made the holes not only fairer, but breathtakingly beautiful too, as the sunlight now penetrates the tree canopy.

As a far better player than I was when I wrote the review, I now truly believe this is one of the best courses in England. The scenery is idyllic, the hole design is fantastic and leaves you wanting more every time you play, as there's a very specific 'line' to hit on every hole, which keeps you coming back to try and hit them all.

- Very technical, good challenge, well designed "lines" - a good shot is rewarded well.

- Private property

- Not many Wooded courses in the UK

- The cafe is FANTASTIC - honestly I would travel down to the course for an afternoon even if I couldn't throw... Get the cheesecake and the jacket potato!

Cons:

- Tees not yet finished, plenty of stumps and ankle twisters

- The 'Ride' holes (8-10) play slowly in tournaments as you must wait for the group ahead to tee on the hole after before you can drive.

- Very tricky from the blue tees for new players

Other Thoughts:

This course is only missing permenant teepads, a couple of stump removal and flattening would be fine, and I'd make it a 5/5.

Hole 18 is in a weird state as the tee has been moved back but some trees are yet to come out. Plays as a very very hard par 3, or quite an easy par 4 right now, but once a couple of trees are out, it'll just be a fantastic finishing hole par 3.

Overall, this is my favourite course to play of all - so come check it out!

Fresh, unique and challenging 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Had the privilege of playing in the first tournament held on this heavily-wooded course. Although not completely finished, all 18 holes were playable and they all took their pound of flesh.

It's a beautiful, rural location situated on part of a caravan and camping facility. The owners have invested a lot of time and effort to begin this course's journey to be one of the best disc golf challenges in the UK.

Cons:

Trees. Every hole has trees. Low ceilings, narrow corridors, vicious rough if you go off line ... and trees. It is a beautiful woodland, though and the course should quickly mature. Plink-plonk disc golf. Did I mention the trees?

Other Thoughts:

If you play in the UK, there are very few courses like this one. Come along and check it out. It's worth the journey.

Awesome course only going to get better 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

I played the soft opening so the course is still under a bit of development but my god was it fun! Great layout and very unique for disc golf in the UK being 80%. Would really recommend anybody going!

Cons:

Some of the holes still need a bit of work and some trees and bushes taken out. The tees still need a bit of work but there are plans to level them all out and put wood chip on all of them. Yes there are some cons but honestly it is just the difference between a awesome course and a bloody amazing one!

Other Thoughts:

The cafe does good lunches and the campsite is great for anybody wanting to stay over!

Great new development. Let’s see it grow and grow 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great baskets, they'll catch everything. Challenging and yet attainable course layout with multiple different difficulties.
Very wooded course, making shots technical rather than power/distance.

Cons:

The signage isn't currently up, but should be up soon. The tee pads need some improvement but I am aware that the course is very new and this may be sorted by now.

Other Thoughts:

Make sure you bring a comfortable bag, although it seems like the course is in a small area, it's quite a trek. I would advise against a cart until the course has been trodden in a little. Too many holes for an easy pull round.

Cracking Wooded Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very nearly all the holes are set in the woods, this is a technical course that doesn't require a big arm. Not a big course, so a days golf doesn't kill you! Holes are well thought out, and straight away are ready to play... the course will evolve, but it's great fun right now. The facilities on site are superb... good cafe, great ice cream, toilets, and it's just a nice place to be.

Other Thoughts:

We played the soft opening, and it was brilliant... once the tees are complete, there are no cons. The site has put in a huge amount of work to make this course playable for all and it is a delight.
