Cannock Park Golf Course

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

Course in fair condition, interesting layout with a few tricky holes especially for first time players. Greens in good condition for a busy municipal course. This course really wins on value for money if you can get a round below £12.

Very deceiving course and the initial welcome behind the knackered Sports Hall is off putting... but...

Not a bad course at all, I have seen many private courses with less footfall present a worse course than this.

The 18th par 3 is a nightmare, it’s so short.... how hard can it be...... you decide!!!!

Definitely worth the money, give it a go!

Thoroughly enjoyed playing this municipal course, which is in fairly decent condition, plenty of challenging holes and a few blind tee shots.

Little worrying that the public walk across the course given the blind shots.

Overall a good course and excellent value for money, would certainly recommend.
