-Fantastic facilities: Enclosed within it's own section of a public park with great signage, the concrete tees, tee sign post colours and general upkeep make this a very easy course to play
-Creatively fit 18 holes into a small property in a way that works
-Some really good holes (at least with tournament OB). Hole 14 in particular was a standout for me, but also holes 7, 8, 9 and 17 were really fun.
-Some beautiful and creative greens. The standing stone hole is iconic and some earthworks/wooden posts are used well throughout the layout.
-Good mixture of lengths (also a blue layout and a short course to cater to different needs)
-The openess of the course makes it attractive to beginners, and when trees are used it is generally done well.

-Hole 10's long position really isn't a fun hole. A forehand roller was the only shot I saw that came close to a chance of a clean 2. The short position looks like alot better of a hole, unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to play it.
-The course is very open and definitely RHBH friendly. The only LHBH friendly hole, 13, is an extreme stall hyzer at the level that it feels gimmicky.
-Can get very boggy/have standing water in the rain. This also makes some of the earthworks around greens slip hazards.

If this was my local course I'd be over the moon. The facilities make it a pleasure to play, just don't expect to have your shot shaping challenged too much. I think I used my overstable destroyer on or just over half the holes. I don't want to mark it down for not being a championship level course though because I don't think it has to be. It can just be a really nice park to play some disc golf in and that's fab.

This is one of the best free courses in the country

- Great concrete teepads
- Fantastic community run course which is well maintained
- Fun layout with fun shots and some 400/600ft holes which are unusual in the UK
- FREE
- Busy with lots of "newbie" locals
- Good cafe with toilets open in the daytime
- excellent, non-gimmicky "Man-made" features to make the course interesting

- RHBH dominant design, tricky for lefties!
- Poor drainage can mean standing water on some holes
- Busy with lots of "newbie" locals

It's a very good course, don't get me wrong. But if you come from abroad expecting (as of Oct 2019) a 4.13/5 course, you might be a bit disappointed in the actual "golf". It's good, but not "Excellent" - mostly due to limitations of a flat park with limited trees and other possibilities.

I think it's current rating is slightly inflated by it being the best course most people playing it have played

Excellent lay-out given the space available.
Extremely well marked with next tee signs and mapped tee signs at every tee.
Immaculate park.
Great tees - brushed concrete and large.
In the middle of a beautiful park with a lovely cafe 100m away -- good food, good coffee, restrooms, inside/out seating to watch the people go by.
Why you'd drive to this course if you're in Manchester for any reason makes no sense -- it's an easy walk from either the Old Trafford tram stop or the next one ("Stretford" I think but look it up -- I'm not). We did both and it's six of one 1/2 dozen of the other but the Old Trafford stop is down quieter streets so that's what we preferred. Plus you get off at Old Trafford -- it's fun to see the pitch a putter throw from the tram stop. Oh if only the US weren't as committed to our cars . . . .

No hills. It's not fixable . . . . it's just a better game with hills.

Not sure about the mando on 13 -- it was odd and not nearly as well-marked as the others on the course. (I may have the wrong basket number -- it's marked on a small fence near the basket and you can't really see it from the tee.)

The non-disc golfers on the course (mostly dog walkers but a few just pedestrians cutting through the fields/school/town on the other side) were very observant and very pleasant. More than a few times went out their way to stay out of our way and didn't make a fuss about it. "Which way are you going?" Ans:"that way", "we'll walk that way", more than twice.

We travel through Manchester a few times a year to various football matches in Yorkshire and will certainly play here again. It's easy living.

Concrete tee pads

Boggy in some areas
Be aware of other Park users

The first time I played this course I couldn't understand how something so good could cost me nothing to enjoy. This has a well thought out flow that requires a variety of shots. Some holes have unique features, such as an elevated tee, sunken basket and a few guarded greens.

The course is maintained by volunteers from the local club and their passion for disc golf really shows.
I really enjoy this course and have plans to revisit on a regular basis.

A must visit for anyone that is in the area...

Fun course design, with a mixture of holes that challenge the big arms and then the more technical holes as well. Tee pads are concrete so always good footing. Very well signposted.

The drainage isn't fantastic so it does get waterlogged in winter

- Excellent teepads and baskets.
- Well designed holes offer a challenge to beginners as well as intermediate and advanced players.
- FREE TO PLAY!
- Good flow to the course.
- Sensible and limited use of mandos and OB areas to protect planted saplings and to encourage safe play.
- Convenient and responsibly placed benches and picnic tables.
- Area dedicated to disc golf.
- Obvious and continual maintenance and improvements made by the club's volunteers.
- Regular club meets and open days to grow the sport.
- Parking very near to first tee.
- Park cafe offers good food, drink and clean rest rooms, as well as £1 (plus deposit) disc rentals.

- Relatively small area but has been used very efficiently.
- Can get water logged in the winter.
- Like many courses, it favours the RHBH.
- There is not a proper championship level layout but this course was still able to host the 2016 BDGA Nationals.
- The previously excellent tee signs need to be refreshed.

The fundamentals are done brilliantly and the fun layout that makes good use of the space.

The active community of players volunteer lots of hours to maintain and improve the course, as well as introducing the sport to local families and groups.

This is a lovely and fun course that will just get better and better with age.

- Excellent concrete Tees
- Good Disccatchers throughout
- Great Signage
- Land specifically for Disc Golf
- Free to Play
- Cafe with disc hire on site
- Ample car parking
- Beginners and an advanced course
- Excellent local club - get in touch and get involved with this group of players.
- Very fun layout
- Easy flow
- Great signs/design and signposting

- A little bit pitch and putty in places even on the advanced course
- Wet underfoot in places with poor drainage
- Not the most challenging of courses in terms of layout.
- 1000 rating will be slightly sub 50 so running to the easy side for top level play.

I've only played once in a competition and loved it. With my usual competition and TDing mess ups I shot a couple of rounds just over par. On a good day I would expect to be able to play sub 50 round the course and that would be my one and only complaint about it. It is slightly limited by the size of the area and as a result a bit too easy. It has made excellent use of the area available though in the hole design.

It's beautifully looked after and has some lovely touches like the mini Stonehenge guarding hole 15 which would otherwise be an unremarkable hole.

So much work and love has been put into this course and it really shows.

Really enjoyed holes 9 and 18 and to be fair pretty much all of them apart from hole 10 which had no discernible line to the basket

It's a must play for anyone in the area and worth travelling for. The club have done incredible work there and continue to grow it.

I just wish they had a bit more space to play with to make a true championship level course,

Concrete tee pads - lots of grip, leaving you sure footed and confident in the throw (even if the result isn't what you planned)

Hole markers - each tee has a great hole marker and map. All mando areas and OB points are shown.

Benches - lots of places to sit whilst waiting for your nxt shot

Standout holes are hole 15 with its poured concrete neolithic stone circle and the hidden basket on hole 4.

Hole 7 - with the mandatory walking route through a small gap in the fence, the whole area has turned into a quagmire, even 15-20m from basket isn't pleasant.

Hole 8 - due to the proximity with other holes in was surprised that the gap between the front 2 trees wasn't a mando.

On the whole a really well laid out course and a pleasure to play.
Lots of volunteers seem to be working behind the scenes with different projects to improve the course and lots of tree planting is planned.
I shall definatly return when it is less windy to get a proper attempt at the course

Concrete tee pads, red and blue tees, varied shots, well maintained, great local community, free to play, well designed layout.

Wet in the winter (it's England after all)

I play here year round, and have gotten involved with some of the volunteer efforts to improve the course. It is built on an old pitch and putt course and is great as is, but will continue to get better as over 600 trees were planted last year, and another 400 are planned to go in this spring. I can't wait to play this course in one year, five years, ten years, and twenty years to see how it comes into its own. At the moment a strong arm will be an advantage on a couple of longer open holes, but that will be balanced out as the course becomes more wooded and accuracy will become more crucial.

This course really does have great potential. The designers of the course knew what they were doing when they designed each hole. Course will requires many different shots in your bag. Holes are a good mix short, medium, and long. Plenty of shots to air it out, but also some technical short shots.

One thing that really stuck out to me was the tee pads. They were nice and big. Extra large! Also most holes had 2 pads, one for beginners and one for pros.( Or guys like me who are intermediate lol)

The park that the course is in is very nice in itself. A nice getaway for a relaxing day of disc golf.

The main con that I see with this course is the flow. There were numerous times when you have to cross near another basket to get to the next tee box. A map is definitely needed. The baskets do not have numbers on them. This would help tremendously, since there are many times when you see 2 baskets from the tee. Hole 18 comes to mind with multiple baskets in sight .

The grass on the course was getting a little high in places. Also there were some some holes where it looked like some branches should be cut back some.

There were many trees that have been planted, shaping many of the fairways. Once these trees get big enough(7-10 years). This course will be amazing. When I played it was dry, but you could see where it can get pretty muddy. Being a new course though, this will only get better with time. They are doing an excellent job at planting seed and grass.

I don't like to review a course after one time playing, but I'm from the United States. I don't know when I'll get a chance to play it again. It may be next year, and this is a course I plan to come back to play. I will update my reveiw when that time comes. I fully expect it to move up to a 4 by next year.
