Decent, if a bit boggy 2+ years drive by

Played the course:once
Pros:
Good welcome board and map for those who have not played the course before.
Baskets in good condition, 50% holes have astroturf mats.
Really well laid out course

Cons:
Very boggy at the moment.
Tees which don't have astroturf have been reduced to muddy slides so no run ups possible.
Lots of dog walkers and children around. Spotters are a good idea on almost any tee

Played the course:once
Pros:
It's a course, so that's a pro. baskets are good discatchers (although they seem to spit a lot of pro side putts? )
Nice park
Couple of funnish holes
Good for beginners I suppose.
Visitor center has a cafe and toilets.

Cons:
I doubt I will ever play here again for a couple of reasons. (UPDATE 2nd December) I played again quickly on the way back from Cotswold View as I had a spare half an hour before dark, I didn't get all the holes in.
It's better than I remembered and looks better looked after around the greens, Hole 4 appears less blind now- raised to a 2.5 from previous 1.5, I will come back and play this again when I'm driving by, some of my comments below seem wrong now with less foliage in the way, it does feel a bit better designed, I think maintenance on my first trip had caused most of the issues. (UPDATE over)
Hole 4? (I think) was the main one. playing by myself I almost decapitated someone walking up from one of the blind paths. There are no warning signs for them or us - I had no idea from the tee there were paths crossing. This is plain dangerous. I almost packed up my discs and left at that point. Would be the best hole on the course if there weren't blind paths walking into it. With a spotter it might be ok, playing by yourself is just dangerous.
British nettles.
Ow.
Don't wear shorts. This place is massively overgrown, not looked after and nasty. It wants to hurt you.
There are nine holes here and it just doesn't feel designed, they just seem thrown together - not sure if this was a local club doing it but they could do with bringing in a professional designer as it's a boring layout and dangerous - not a winning mix! It looks like trees were cut down so obviously some money spent.

Other Thoughts:
Just disappointed really. hope no one gets hurt here. With Quarry Park or Bedworth just up the road I wouldn't bother making a trip for this.
