Pros:
Great for families with children under 7.
Can be played in no time if you are on your tea break.

Cons:
I don't know where to start.....
Short, boring holes.
Pay to play, but dog owners and chavs roam around on there for free.
Poorly designed, even for a family course.
This is why disc golf isn't taking off in the UK.....

Other Thoughts:
Sorry to be so negative, I felt angry and ripped off playing this course. Despite the fact that it is right on my doorstep I would rather set my own practice basket in the local playing field and throw at it from 9 different positions, than play this disappointingly boring course.

Other Thoughts:
Hard to describe my disappointment with this. Travelled an hour South with huge excitement to play a brand new UK course. Great, or so I thought.
Walked to the course after parking as suggested on the page here. Course was easy to find near to the activity center in the middle, location at least is great. You have to go in and pay and the staff knew what they were doing which waas good (not always the case in this country with courses!)
As I walked to the course my first thought was, what are those baskets? Powder coated horrendous bright Orange ugly Mach v's. Without the Orange I was already disappointed enough, I thougt I had left Mach V's at home in Michigan, I thought the Brits were sensible enough not to use these piece of **** spit out machines. Hey, I suppose it is a basket at least.
Then i played the course. My already underwhelming experience went downhill from there.
I don't mind pay to play courses, this is despite having some excellent free to play courses within an hour of here (Bedworth and Longford park (i've got to do a review of this excellent course still) but I do mind pay to play when there has clearly been no thought put into the design.
None whatsoever.
This is not a course, it's 9 baskets sunk in the ground with a few painted rocks chucked down in lines and signs screwed on. Don't think I have played anything by this designer before, I will not rush to play another one.
Whatever limitations there were on designs in the area (and I do understand that limits designers in busy parks like these) I genuninely can't see how someone could make a course as bad with the trees and land in the surrounding area that all appears to have been allocated for the course.
Tees are marked as Red, White, Blue. They're not, or certainly not by US standards. They're Green, Green Green, I could throw my minis (and not the mini drivers) off each tee and shoot underpar, wrong handed, standing on one leg, backwards whilst being chased by the off the leash dogs. (yep there are dogs again)
The course is just bad, all of it. There isn't a shaped shot to throw,
I can see it being ok to get beginners starting to play but if you have ever thrown a disc previously, don't bother here you'll be very very sad,
I paid £4.50 for parking (there are cheaper options available I found out later adding to my anger) and then £5 to play one round that took less than 30 minutes. I had driven an hour. I want my money back, and a few hours of life returned. Not sure how anyone can rate this course above a 2 unless they are in some way related to the course designer? My 1 might be tough but three days after playing I'm still pi$$ed and writing this i'm struggling not to change it to 0.5.
