Pros:

The site of an old Golf Course there is still a team of four groundsmen looking after the venue and it shows. The fairways are cut to golf standards and the whole property is incredibly well looked after.

Holes are fun and fair. Some long bomber par 3's mixed with technical shorter holes and great use of elevation makes for an incredibly enjoyable round.

Little chance of losing discs even in the height of growing season.

Pay to play - a pro for me when the standard of course is like this. Becoming a DGUK member gets free access to the course as well.

The course was designed to be White Level and sits jsut about perfectly there.

There is the oppurtunity for Blue level tees on nearly all of the holes in future.

There is a short beginner friendly layout which is also great fun for your ace runs and short skills.

Cons:

Potentially a bit easy to score on, like many golf course layouts it can be quite forgiving to errant shots.

Not open for Disc Golf all the time, check ahead with the website and book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Other Thoughts:

It's a stunning piece of property and Dan has done a superb job on his first full permanent 18 hole course layout at Fairways.

This is part of the DGUK membership course scheme and is a standard we'll look to achieve elsewhere.

Rounds cost £12 to play to non members which is certainly at the higher end of Disc Golf pricing but the second you arrive you will understand why it costs what it does. Tees are great, fairways, greens and baskets are all top quality and it is a very fun round of golf, currently rating at 4.8 on Udisc from the first 40 or so reviews this is immediately a must play course in the area.
