Fun to play with the local group 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 28, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Great red tees layout
-Challenges distance and shot shaping
-Creatively packed into a small property

Cons:

-Lack of signage makes it difficult to navigate, especially as multiple tees play to the same baskets
-Lots of blind holes on a well used public park, not safe to play solo and expect lots of waiting in a group
-Wooded holes feel unfair/forced. Mutliple holes play through the same patch of woodland, no real defined lines.
-It feels like the long course would interact alot better with the park if a 9 hole layout was chosen rather than 18. It would probably allow for much more solid hole designs as well rather than comprimising to permit multiple.

Other Thoughts:

The course has improved each time I have visited it and it continues to develop. The dangerous hole 10 has been changed since previous reviews and retains the fun factor whilst no longer endangering pedestrians from the path/entrance. At its core, despite some of its flaws, it is a free to play course in the UK (where the sport is mostly unknown) that is continuing to be supported and that can only be a good thing. I'm from the area so I'm always happy to play when I'm visiting, but as of right now I wouldn't travel there specifically for disc golf.

Update: Also want to take the time to mention that I find it weird so few events are run here. Even though some holes share baskets, creating a 9 hole event layout that would bring players over to this course can only be a good thing. Right now it seems to be quite an isolated place only visited by the local group.
