A very nice place to play

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 14, 2022 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-The facilities are excellent. A well stocked (snacks, equipment, books) reception is the hub with toilets attached. Highest quality clubhouse I've seen in the UK so far.
-The grounds are lovely. This is maintained for golf and footgolf as well, so everything is mown nicely and there is no rough I wouldn't happily dive into head first. A really excellent side feature is that all of the land outside the course boundary is visible, open and accessible. I cannot imagine anyone losing a disc here ever.
-The layout is actually really fun. Hole 2 is a stunning downhill tunnel shot that has a challenging shape. Good mix of lengths and shot shapes with gentle elevation makes for a interesting round.
-Good equipment. Nice baskets and rubber tee mats along with blue or red pegs for each tee (an aesthetic I quite like).
-Good public transport access. Huge for me personally, there aren't many UK courses I can get to easily as a non-driver.
-Good value for money. £12 for unlimited play is always worth it for the quality of the grounds.

Cons:

-Poor signage. It's a new course so some slack should be cut, but navigation on the first loop isn't facile. Tee and hole numbers aren't marked, but maps are available at the reception and the UDisc maps are accurate. Mandatory trees are also currently unmarked which is a little confusing on the first play.
-Only 9 holes (for now...)
-Still rather open on some of the holes, and while the wind will surely help things more obstacles always make things more interesting.
