Cannock Park Golf Course

The course is not overly taxing and played ok. However lacks waymarkers on many holes and greens not in great shape. Enjoyable round but shan't bother again. (Very hard to find as well. Google maps has you 1/2 a mile away on a housing estate)

First & last time I will play this course! Every hole was on temporary greens when there was absolutely no reason for it, not particularly wet. Temporary greens were dreadful so this was not a true test of golf. Dog walkers all over the course so didn’t really enjoy the game!!

Pros

- good value for money

- short/medium length holes (good for casual/beginner golfers)

- free parking

- greens were in good condition (October)

Cons

- no real on site amenities

- no proper practice area

- dog walkers in and around fairways (very frustrating but happens on municipal. I hit one of few cracking tee shots on a par 3 and a dog ran off with my ball)

- lacking any features / a plain course

- not kept to the standards of a private course

All in all decent for £17.00. Enjoyed it and would return again in the future but won’t rush back.

I actually went over on my ankle playing today, due to a hole in the ground near the 10th green.

If you’re considering it and haven’t played it, it’s a decent course for the money.

Well if your game is all about putting then this at the moment is your course the pins were all on a bad downslope and fast , the third was probably the worst , if you put your wedge on the green past the pin then you will end up back off the free no matter how hard you hit it , it will be back off the green but apart from the greens the course is a good test , if you haven’t played it before it’s one of the better council courses.

A great little municipal course in great condition.

Fairways not the shortest cut but good enough and is a great value, nicely matured municipal. No par 5s but is a good test. A few mature oak trees mean positioning is crucial on several holesa. Some of the greens can have wicked pin placings such as the 2 tier 3rd and the sloping 9th and 16th.

As this course is only ten minutes away from me I thought I would give it a try for the first time. Great course for someone who hasn’t played for a while or somebody looking for cheap day of golf, quiet clean for a public park and some great holes and very tricky greens!!

The down side to this place is the public waking across the course while playing and dogs running around, a few over hanging trees that are in the way of tee’s and needs a lot more work on the rough! But over always a great day and a decent course to play

Course was in good condition the only issue I have is that players are allowed on who share a set of clubs and this slows down the pace
