Interest to all standards of golf

Played for the first time yesterday. A very interesting test of golf for players of all standards. In some middle areas of the course you have to be aware of the odd ball flying across onto the wrong fairway! Condition of fairways a little rough in places but greens were good to slow.

Cramped course

I played on a lovely midweek afternoon.

The course is very closer together even with shared fairways at a point which slows up the pace of play. The course wasn't in the best condition given the situation and there was little distinction between fairways and rough. The greens were inconsistent and bobbly. I won't be back but for a quick round local I suppose it would suffice

All weather course that’s a bargain

The 2 best things for this course are the value for money and the friendliness of the staff. We were booked for 10:12am but the weather was horrendous, so we had a coffee and waited roughly an hour for the rain to stop before teeing off (an hour and 10 mins later than we should have). The staff were nothing but good and didn’t say anything about us waiting, and considering how much rain we have had the past 2 days the course held up really well. Definitely would recommend trying

Happy days

What a fantastic day of golf. No rain which is a bonus. Course is in a fantastic condition for this time of year. Can't wait to play it again. Man in the bar couldn't help us enough and we was lucky to have a single golfer who knew the course to help us along. A hide gem of a course in a inner city of Nottingham.

Enjoyable urban course

I'm a very new golfer, this isn't a top class rural location but surprisingly enjoyable and reasonably challenging course with some really nice features. Greens pretty well maintained for a budget municipal course. Enjoyed it immensely.

Immaculate greens

Superb value for money, if as much effort went into the fairways as the greens it would be right up there.

Needs to be some rule established with letting dogs off a lead on the course, not good.

Overall good course at a great price.

First time I've played the course and was impressed. Some of the holes are deceiving distance wise however the greens were in decent condition. Had to wait for members of the public a couple of times due to the public footpath but not a big issue nevertheless some signs for the next hole would help, particularly the 15th and 18th holes

Would not recommend

Course isn't well kept and there slots of general public walking around with zero etiquette. You can play a good shot onto the fairway but be on a pile of mud. Theres much better courses locally. I won't be playing here again.
