Played the course:once
Pros:
Baskets - New Mach V's have been used here. They are all powder painted orange (even the chains), which makes the baskets both super standout, but also really grippy.
Signage - every hole has a map attached to the blue tee stone. It shows a full hole layout as well as the direction of the next tee
Tees - There are 3 courses to choose from here (Advanced blue; Intermediate White; Beginner Red). However an advanced player can still enjoy the Red course if it is used as putting practice only.
Layout - For a course in a public park, and set in a compact area... there are no path crossings to be aware of. This allows the thrower the freedom to throw their shot without concern.

Cons:
Pay to Play - Please sign in and pay to the Visitors centre (not the high ropes course next to the course, the visitors centre is near the boating lake). For some this will be seen as a con however if it means that the site is constantly being looked after by the grounds staff then it can be seen as a con.
Other Thoughts:
I will now try and paint a picture of each hole so that you have a rough idea of what the course looks like. All my descriptions are taken from the Advanced tees.
Hole 1 - A downhill hole, from a wooded tunnel tee. The basket is guarded by a couple of bushes and a hedge off to the left, but this shouldn't come into play
Hole 2 - Another downhill shot. Tunnel shot, with a low ceiling to match. If you can find the gap, then you should be able to get close.
Hole 3 - A wide open hole in the middle of the grass. No obstacles or dangers to worry about. For an experienced player this hole may be quite boring.
Hole 4 - A blind tee shot, dogleg left. A wild flower area is being created on the right, please play this as OB.
Hole 5 - An open tee shot, which funnels to the basket in the trees. Be careful not to drift left of the basket as the nettles and wild raspberries will eat your discs
Hole 6 - Signature hole on the course. A downhill shot, through a beech avenue. The hole bends to the left with thick bramble if you stray off line.
Hole 7 - A short uphill shot required here. Be careful not to overshoot as the chestnut trees behind will hinder your putts
Hole 8 - A tunnel tee shot across open ground. The basket is guarded by a hawthorn tree. A bramble hedge long of the basket is extremely thick so try not to throw long
Hole 9 - A very short hole to end, low ceiling by the basket may cause a few issues, but should be an easy birdie to end your round
