Cannock Park Golf Course

On the up side the day was sunny and warm and the course is well kept and tidy except for the greens which are hard and in some places bare and void of any greenery, Then there was the maintenance of the fairway, sometimes 3 possibly 4 large tractors on the some hole tending the grass. It was like teeing off on the M6 on a bank holiday Friday afternoon with all the noise , no thought or consideration for paying customers, overall get what you pay for , half decent course for a cheap price

The course used to be a real credit to the staff, but the budget has clearly been cut and the tees/greens have suffered, the pace of play wasn't great and so many people just stroll across fairways and greens as your about to hit your ball, it could be amazing but unfortunately it feels like it's being run into the ground

I used to play this course every week between 2010 -2022. However , yesterday I played for the 1st time since then and I was sadly disappointed. The course is very clearly shared with dog walkers. At one point , a dog off its lead came right up to me on the green ! The greens themselves are unkept and uninspiring. The sand bunkers were either filled with what looked like marshland , or the ones that did have sand , looked like they’d never been raked or levelled. Play was unusually slow , and the temporary mats are so hard to play off as they have no give . Getting a tee to keep in place on the mat proved very challenging and frustrating. Overall ,at £20 for my round , I felt cheated .

For £20 it's cheap and cheerful but lacks amenities.

One of the worst courses I have played. Fairways were longer than the rough, temp tees and greens with no prior notification, temp greens may as well have been just a flag in the rough.

Waste of £20

Open fairways and some challenging holes, great for beginners, greens could do with some work

I’ve played Cannock more times than i care to remember. From a pretty little 9 hole course, it blossomed in to a small but by no means easy layout. Cleared out and defined ditches, a pond to the right of the 7th green, a full flowing stream in front if the 15th green, smooth putting surfaces, criss-cross patterned fairways……..you get the gist. This is what Cannock was like. I played with a chap once who 5 putted the 14th from around 8 feet, because the sloping green was smooth, tightly mown and fast. Now, you would get more pleasure from the pitch and putt at Beacon park in Lichfield. The company behind overseeing the running of the course are reluctant to put their hands in their pockets. But, what they don’t realise, is that with some courses in the vicinity going bust in the last few years, there is a gap in the market here to entice golfers with a reliable and enjoyable venue. All they need to do is invest in course maintenance, renewal, modernisation and infrastructure, and people will return and pay for the privilege. Come on IHL (Inspring Healthy Lifestyles), splash the cash and put CPGC back on the map.

Great conditions especially for this time of year

Greens were extremely wet and the holes full of water,fairway was very damp underfoot , this course definitely needed to dry out somewhat

Haven’t played Cannock for a few Months was impressed with how it looked considering the recent weather and price

Bunkers contained no sand and were not maintained at all. Fairways were the length of first cut of rough. Greens were not well kept.

I have just come back into golf after 20 years I started playing at Cannock Park when it was nine holes watch it develop to18 holes I remember the time they had a club professional and green staff I was expecting much improvement sadly it's not as good as it used to be put that down to the council not spending any money there the golf playing community of Cannock deserve better

Played Cannock many many times and have always found it challenging but recent years are showing a lot of overgrowth and particular neglect to the bunkers, as in no sand ,very stoney and no manicured edges, this wouldn't take a lot to vastly improve.

got lucky as it was a quiet day.. course a bit back and forward and a lot of cross fairway dangers. greens were poor and slow but as a cheap practice round learn to play golf you would to well to beat it.. really enjoyed my day

Course played fine. It is used by a lot of local walkers, and we came across several groups of golfers who seem to appear from nowhere - not convinced they had paid. This resulted in up to 4 groups waiting to tee off by the time we got to the 13th hole or so, slowing play right down.

Course was nicely looked after but it was hard to find our way around as there was limited markers as to where to go to the next hole & we got lost a couple of times especially on the front 9

Shouldn’t complain too much though as it was good value for money
