One of a precious few choices in Northern Ireland. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

The park in which this course is set is fantastic. I was there on a particularly beautiful summer day.

There's a helpful map located by the driveway of the park house (photo uploaded). This will be a big help if it's not your home course.

In summer, there grows a lot of dense and interesting plant life. (A lot of it is prickly and may make you itch.)

Cons:

The tees were basically impossible to find; none of the baskets are numbered. The current description on DGCR says it's 'wooded' and 'technical' but that seems to mean that the fairways are intimidatingly narrow.

Not a place for first timers. That said, if you're a dedicated tourist like me, I would say yes, give it a try. The park is a lovely one.

The course doesn't appear to be played very often and I was worried if I lost a disc it would never be found unless by an archaeologist in some faraway future time.

Parts of the course have a lot of trash about. I saw a Pepsi can that was thirty years old.
The course could do with some ongoing care.

Other Thoughts:

I've only been playing with any degree of seriousness for about two years, so maybe I don't have the chops needed to locate tees. Nevertheless, I did have an enjoyable time getting lost and finding my way around this park and disc golf course.
