Good Winter Course

Many courses still closed due to the amount of rain the past few months. So was very surprised how dry and firm the fairways where. Testing enough and quite hilly in places. Downside to this place is the dog walkers. Some of these people were oblivious that they were on a golf course and could be hit by a ball. Standing in the middle if the faiway talking to felliw walkers throwing a ball for there dog. Otheres walking down the middle over a bling crest. In a nutshell! If you dont mind the dogs running off with your ball and dog walkers everywhere go play. It is a nice course and good in the winter.

The course is amazing in itself, albeit not in the best of conditions. The course is open to the public and ultimately, it got to me playing golf and having members of the public walking across virtually every fairway I played.

Queens Park

Very nice course in fairly good condition. Has two holes with very steep climbs so you will feel it after a round. Played on hot day and the only water fountain I came across was broken which was only negative thing really.

Do not play weekends or bank holidays

Terrible experience. Public course so filled with kids who were throwing the flags, riding electric scooters on the green and dog poo everywhere. Might not be as bad if you can play during the week but avoid any other time! Will not be playing here again. Front 9 doesn’t finish at the clubhouse either, we were planning on walking off but had no choice but to finish.

Public Park first!, Golf course second.

Course is open to the public firstly as a park which is accessible to people with dogs, cyclists and children. Golf is secondary ,therefore if you are waiting to tee off and anybody walking their dogs can without any thought for the golfers walk across the course and you the golfer are responsible if any person gets struck by the golf ball.

Members of the public do not take any notice of the dangers of being hit by a golf ball and just walk anywhere they please. There are hidden dips on the fairways and you cannot see people when you are hitting the golf ball.

It's a dangerous course and I would recommend that you do not play here

Needs more signs warning of dangers to golfers and members of the public.

Nice to get out

Nice to get out and weather was good.

Have to say the course condition wasn't great, lots of bare patched on the fairways and even some of the greens.

Nice course to play, but not worth £30 a round, especially with the hundreds of dog walkers that don't pay any attention.

Awful

Complete rip off, greens were rubbish although they had been hollow cored, played off of mats which were terrible and the fairways were also rubbish, complete waste of money as only played 14 holes also because of slow play.

A Faded Gem

You can see why this was once a great course and there is a challenge to be had here still, as well as flashes of breathtaking beauty.

Greens are true and still quite quick having been recently dressed. Many tees moved up, but understandable for the time of the year. The fairways will benefit from grass growing again. It looks like holes 3 & 4 were once played off tees long since used. Hole 16 will remind you that golf doesn't have to be a game of long to be great...

I found the dog walkers and park users charming, friendly and polite (I see others here have found it hard to coexist). Very good value for money and a warm welcome from the golf professional.

One slight concern is for the safety of those walkers using crossing paths blind to golfers (e.g. Holes 1 & 6).

A good day out.

Ruined by ignorant walkers

Once again a round ruined by ignorant dog walkers, standing right in the way , on purpose, just walking out as your taking your shot then stopping in middle of fairway, should be some code of conduct or signs , it’s getting ridiculous, that’s why I can’t recommend it, only worth what we paid , not any more and that’s even in summer !!!!

Course for Dog Walkers

Not the worst course in the world but the Dog walkers and people on the course was an absolute joke. People literally walking dog on the fairway as your about to tee off and kids shouting as your playing.

Midday 18 holes

Excellent course and despite terrible rain day before the greens were in great order. Love playing this course as challenging up hill greens really test you. Staff are excellent and great food and bar area also. Never pushed on pace of play by other golfers and everybody is polite that I have come across here.

Same as

Review is titled same as because it’s the same always at the course , the one problem people should be aware of is it’s a public park with dog walkers, people walking out onto fairways and people not moving or unaware that a golf ball travels at speed and will hurt !!!

The course itself is a good challenge , need to keep it on the fairway to post a good score as the rough is unforgiving here. For the money you take the downsides .

Good cheap course to play, greens are a bit worse for wear!!

Amazing course layout and lovely surroundings. I live in Queen’s Park so I have walked through here many times. It could be such a great course with the right money spent, but as it’s a municipal not likely as it’s shared ground with walkers, dogs, cyclists etc. I said hi to everyone with a smile and stroked many dogs.

It not a bad cheaper winter course as it takes the wet weather well. Greens are shocking for most of them, but not bad for winter golf. The only thing that was awful was speed of play. I played this course last minute as I live over the road, and was playing behind 2x 4 balls who were clearly friends. Refusing to let me through. I wasn’t in a hurry, but common courtesy should prevail and let me through as 1 person finishes 18 holes at least an hour quicker than a 4ball. Gave me plenty of time to practice multiple balls in to greens and off tees though. Always a silver lining. Bunkers need sand in too as little to no sand in them.

I would recommend this place to play if you can get a deal through GolfNow. It’s like an amazing pitch and putt but a full golf course. I will play here again, but only a very early tee time to get ahead of play.

For context I am not a crazy fast player, but I shot 82 today and was rather frustrating waiting all day to play so should’ve been better.

Excellent but dangerous

Had a great day … but too many walkers to feel safe hitting driver some of the time. Also roads alongside several tee shots.

Need to be straight … my beginner partners lost a lot of balls.

Lovely layout though … condition is OK but could do with a couple more green keepers

Very quiet … lots more dog walkers than golfers.
