Self righteous walkers galore

Lovely course and staff let down by absolutely stupid moron walkers who walk across green and let they’re feral lose to run around and some walkers rude and think they know everything if you can get over this it’s a amazing course

mr Farmer

took advantage of a hot deal so had a great price, weather was wet and windy so we had the course to ourselves..

consequently pace of play, value for money was good, the course for recent weather conditions was average with some greens suffering from vandalism (mountain bikes skidding on greens, tyre marks) as it is a public area too. Dog walkers were very sensible and waited for our signals to cross fairways.

We took advantage of what was on offer, i wouldnt be happy to pay the full tee prices as they would be too high for the round considering the overall condition of the greens.

Queens Park visit

Was bit worried reading reviews after a few years since last visit but still same enjoyable challenge. Yes tee mats and one temporary green but is middle of February. Yes quite a few walkers around course but you just have to be sensible and patient still round in 3 hours 10 minutes not bad at all. It is a public area and for green fee it’s a decent course not as thick rough and fast running for ball to run into trouble so more playable. I enjoyed it and very friendly in shop and cafe

Pros and cons

Pros:

- (main one) normally open in winter when other courses are shut

- some challenging holes

- very friendly staff

Cons:

- it’s a public park so often busy with dog walkers and others, some with no consideration for golfers (although some very good)

- the greens aren’t great

- easy to have a ‘blow up’ hole that wrecks your card

It’s Still Got Something About It

I played the course for the first time in a number of years (used to play it regularly when I was younger).

For January it wasn’t in bad condition and we had a very enjoyable round. Greens were running true the main frustration with the course being on public space is the dog walkers who literally have no regard for where they are and just walk up the middle of fairways.

With some care and attention this course could be the gem it once was.

The lady running the cafe was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and she was very welcoming.

This course just needs some investment from the council again which would make it a very attractive proposition to golfers young and old!

Accident waiting to happen!!

Booked as a lads golf trip and I could not believe what I was seeing! This course is open to the public which I've experienced before but not to this degree! Normally walking paths are separate from the course and people have a sense of what danger a golf ball flying through the air can potentially be....not here....people have a total disregard of the fact people are hitting golf balls and often walk across fairways, stand andd have a chat and have no thought whatsoever for the golfers...I was stunned by the fact children were walking across fairways and adults with babies in the firing line....we were often waiting for long periods of time simply to allow people to clear the fairway! This is not just dog walkers, this is a public playground with couples, children, groups and if course dog walkers walking around oblivious to the dangers! There will be an accident at some point and I for one would never play here again...it's almost as though the public are protesting to the golf!! Awful experience and a shame....if it were managed better and more safely it could be a gem!! You've been warned

Always good value

£20 each is a bargain. Not too many dog walkers out & greens a bit iffy (some good, some not so) but to be expected this time of year.

Can’t go wrong for the price

Terrible condition

This course is now a joke , shame really as it good be decent , but the greens are disgusting fairways are like a 2nd cut of rough in parts and there are litterally hundreds of people just treating the golf course as a public park ! Walking up and down the fairways and over the greens and not giving a care in the world . Paid £27 which was £20 too much.

Surprised

Prior to my visit ,all I'd heard about was dog walkers. That's the last thing I'll take away from my first experience. Varied, undulating, challenging, picturesque, and well maintained That do for starters?

Not to mention Les in the shop, nice fella.

Pace of play

Although I think it’s a very nice course and enjoyed playing the holes the pace of play was absolutely terrible at one point we had three t times all waiting on the t it got to the 14 th hole when both the two infront of us and my friend and I decided we were not prepared to stay in the rain any longer waiting to t off someone should either sort out the t times or be on the course making sure people are keeping up with play it ruined what could have been a nice game again the course was very nice but it would put me off wanting to play it again I’ve not had it this bad on all the other courses we play in the area ?

Dog walkers everywhere

First time playing at this course, overall feedback being that the course it’s self was an ok course. However, it is open to the public and dog walkers were everywhere. (People walking up fair ways, dogs trying to pinch your ball, bunkers and fairways were in poor condition aswell)

We paid £32 for a round each, I wouldn’t pay more than £15 to play at this course. Won’t be playing there again, highlight was the cider at the end of the round!

Overall rating 3/10.
