Short, tight but enjoyable 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 26, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Baskets - Sturdy, and in great condition. All are solid in the ground.

Wildlife - whist playing your round you may be lucky enough to see one of the native Red Squirrels which live in the woodland. A feeding station has been set up next to basket 4. Take your camera as they are a beautiful sight.

Staff - Everyone I spoke to was extremely knowledgeable and happy to help.

Cons:

Cost - unfortunately this course is situated on the grounds of a national trust property and as much as I applaud them for embracing the sport, it means any player must pay the "grounds only" price if they wish to enter. £5.60 isn't the most I've paid to play but I feel will put some people off.

Tees - at the start of each hole there is a wooden board which lists the distance of the hole, however there is no hole map or even a line in the dirt as to where this measurement is taken from. At times I wasn't sure where to tee from so got as close as I could to the sign.

Other Thoughts:

The course is squashed onto a small slither of land within the property, meaning you can see 2-3 other baskets from each tee. Be careful to ensure you are going the right way.
Also an adventure playground boarders the course (along holes 7-9), be aware of possible children running across the holes before you throw.

Hole 1 - A tight hole with an OB ditch running along the right hand side. This is clearly marked with "do not throw your frisbee this way" signs.

Hole 2 - Another long straight hole, also with OB ditch on the right, but also slightly elevated basket at the end.

Hole 3 - A really short, slightly uphill shot here. 1 guardian tree near the basket

Hole 4 - Another short hole, however try not to throw to the right hand side of the hole as the red squirrel feeding station has been set up (see above).

Hole 5 - Slight dogleg right here. Thick bushes guard the basket, which cannot be seen from the tee.

Hole 6 - A really tight hole with no obviously route to the basket. Large trees everywhere, and freshly cut branches made this a really hard hole to get close.

Hole 7 - This tee has been recently moved back after an old tree came down over the winter. Currently the hole plays over the chopped up pieces of this tree, but I have been told this will be cleared and the hole returned to it's original route before the summer

Hole 8 - A long dogleg with a holly bush guarding the basket. Easy to catch one of the large trees here.

Hole 9 - The shortest hole on the course, however 2 ditches cross this hole (I played both as OB, as each has a footbridge in place to cross them). Be careful not to misjudged the distance and end up with wet feet.

A well laid out course, with the added bonus of native Red Squirrels running around. Well worth a visit
