Not a destination for a day out 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Equipment is quite well maintained. Baskets, tees and signs are clearly visible
-There is some shot shaping and a few gaps to hit
-OK course to practice short game/go for ace runs
-Would be a good course to quickly introduce complete beginners to the sport
-Course is relatively quiet (odd walker comes through but shouldn't cause safety issues)

Cons:

-£5 for one round is ridiculous for this course
-There are some really uninteresting holes (completely open and flat)
-It really doesn't take that long to play (15 mins per round). Maybe a pro but if you have driven here you may get bored very quickly
-The course is nicely maintained aesthetically, but gaps can be shrunk by overgrowth that isn't maintianed
-Tee areas are really small and often have poor footing/foliage encroaching into them
-The three tee placements on each hole are completely redundant. The longest tees are pitch and putt length

Other Thoughts:

I had fun here running aces as a brief interlude to my train journey, but if this is your destination for the day I would recommend against it. Unless you're passing through it is not worth the travel. I hate to sound so negative and I wish it the best, but this is a course that needs some thought and attention.

There is no support for this course at all. Nobody runs events here and the park staff seem really uninformed about it. This is a weirdly well maintained course for how few visitors it gets and it really doesn't seem to serve a purpose. This could be fantastic place if it ran ace races or family events, or maybe if a long course was attached and this was a side attraction, but as a standalone it's really out of place.
