Nice baskets with good variety of holes. Two teepads on many holes. Beautiful park in central London along the river.
I liked the wooded holes of 13-18 the most. If I had to pick a favourite, it would be #11. Love the native milkweed all over the front 9.

In general, really hard to navigate for the first time playing.
Some of the signs are worn out, making it difficult to see the information. Also, some of the signs have outdated information.

One of the early holes (2 or 3) throws very close to a skate park which presents a seemingly large safety issue.

Holes 19-27 have a bunch of issues. Holes 20 and 21 have the really busy multi-use path as basically the fairway. It really goes against the very basics of course design. Don't throw over walking paths, much less use them as a fairway.
The remainder of the holes from 22-27 were really overgrown and looked like not played very often. Which is a good thing because of the aforementioned safety issues. I skipped them because it was so hard to navigate and it looked like (playing alone) I would be searching for my shot.

For the original 18 layout, it was really nice for the most part and I am planning on trying to play it again if I am in town. It appears to be a very loved course by the locals. If I had grown up playing here I'm sure my review would be higher. That said it is not a course I would go out of my way to play. I would avoid 19-27 and if I was involved in the local scene would look to redesign or use the baskets at a different park.

With little noise and no crowds, this can be a very tranquil place to play a round. The signage is adequate to navigate the course, for the most part, though it would be nice if the baskets themselves were numbered. Multiple pin placements allow for variety; some holes cater to either lefties or righties depending on the placement. The front nine is well maintained and several of the greens are nicely guarded by well positioned trees.

From hole 12 on, the course is a jungle. I like woods courses, but this place can be EVIL. Fairways are only a couple of meters wide in places, if they exist at all. Nearly every drive disappears into waist deep nastiness. I was tempted on more than one occasion to just close my bag and walk away, the risk of losing a disc was just too great. At least on courses with water you know a disc is lost. Here you can spend 10 minutes ripping your flesh apart in the undergrowth looking for the shots you throw.

I give this course an average rating, even though there is really nothing average about it. It is a tale of two courses: if every hole were like the front nine, it would be a 3.5; if all were like the back nine, it would be 1.5 to me. For a good 18, I'd play the front nine twice. For those who venture onto the back nine, bring along a spotter and a weed whacker if you intend on keeping your plastic.
