Course Designer reviewing

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 2, 2022 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Great baskets (DGUK Strongholds)
- Great Signage throughout
- Good use of land
- Plays well alongside other golf variants
- Free to play for DGUK Members, cheap to play otherwise.
- Interesting and fun holes testing a range of shots.

Cons:

- No tee pads yet
- It's a very compact course, a number of Disc Golf holes had to be shortened vs the golf holes for safety reasons to avoid scatter into numerous other fairways.
- Has to follow the golf layout which has some strange flow designs - Hole 10 and 11 are notable for this having to walk back on yourself.
- Easy to play to the wrong basket - vinyl numbered wraps for the baskets will be going on shortly.

Other Thoughts:

This is the third DGUK membership course in England and follows Fairways and Blacknest with another quality course in an inner city park. See the Disc Golf UK website for details on membership. The design was a co- Design with DGUK's Richard Hatton and Rachel Malley, this is her first and we believe the first permanent 18 hole course by a female designer in the country., there will be more

DGUK members play for free and for anyone else it is only £5 a round which is well worth the money for this beautifully maintained and fun course.

Holes range from 60 - 100 meters but there is good use of elevation and terrain to create some tricky holes amongst some gimmes.

There is a challenge on each hole to all levels of players, low canopies require control and use of ground play.

All in all a lovely course on a lovely piece of well maintained property. The only thing keeping the score below a 4 is the lack of tees and the restrictions from space and flow put on it by the golf layout.

Toilets, parking and other facilities are all on site and the course is worth a detour to play, Couple it with a trip to the nearby Sherwood Pines and Hucknall's Leen Valley if you are in the area for a day.
