A bit tired
Tight course that is feeling a bit tired. Grass thin everywhere. Poor temporary tees. Greens pretty good.
Self righteous walkers galore
Lovely course and staff let down by absolutely stupid moron walkers who walk across green and let they’re feral lose to run around and some walkers rude and think they know everything if you can get over this it’s a amazing course
mr Farmer
took advantage of a hot deal so had a great price, weather was wet and windy so we had the course to ourselves..
consequently pace of play, value for money was good, the course for recent weather conditions was average with some greens suffering from vandalism (mountain bikes skidding on greens, tyre marks) as it is a public area too. Dog walkers were very sensible and waited for our signals to cross fairways.
We took advantage of what was on offer, i wouldnt be happy to pay the full tee prices as they would be too high for the round considering the overall condition of the greens.
Queens Park visit
Was bit worried reading reviews after a few years since last visit but still same enjoyable challenge. Yes tee mats and one temporary green but is middle of February. Yes quite a few walkers around course but you just have to be sensible and patient still round in 3 hours 10 minutes not bad at all. It is a public area and for green fee it’s a decent course not as thick rough and fast running for ball to run into trouble so more playable. I enjoyed it and very friendly in shop and cafe
Winter golf
This is a good winter course not too wet although it had a few temporary greens.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- (main one) normally open in winter when other courses are shut
- some challenging holes
- very friendly staff
Cons:
- it’s a public park so often busy with dog walkers and others, some with no consideration for golfers (although some very good)
- the greens aren’t great
- easy to have a ‘blow up’ hole that wrecks your card
It’s Still Got Something About It
I played the course for the first time in a number of years (used to play it regularly when I was younger).
For January it wasn’t in bad condition and we had a very enjoyable round. Greens were running true the main frustration with the course being on public space is the dog walkers who literally have no regard for where they are and just walk up the middle of fairways.
With some care and attention this course could be the gem it once was.
The lady running the cafe was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and she was very welcoming.
This course just needs some investment from the council again which would make it a very attractive proposition to golfers young and old!
Great layout. Shame the club doesn't have more money.
Queens Park is a great layout and years ago was a championship course however the club doesn't have a lot of money to keep it in really top condition. Some of the tees are quite old looking and the fairways and greens require more maintenance. I would recommend but you must be patient with dog walkers and the general public. Staff are always welcoming and helpful. I have enjoyed playing the course over a number of years.
Always good value
£20 each is a bargain. Not too many dog walkers out & greens a bit iffy (some good, some not so) but to be expected this time of year.
Can’t go wrong for the price
Terrible condition
This course is now a joke , shame really as it good be decent , but the greens are disgusting fairways are like a 2nd cut of rough in parts and there are litterally hundreds of people just treating the golf course as a public park ! Walking up and down the fairways and over the greens and not giving a care in the world . Paid £27 which was £20 too much.
Golf
This is a good course, summer or winter. It's hilly in places but quite open.
Surprised
Prior to my visit ,all I'd heard about was dog walkers. That's the last thing I'll take away from my first experience. Varied, undulating, challenging, picturesque, and well maintained That do for starters?
Not to mention Les in the shop, nice fella.
Pace of play
Although I think it’s a very nice course and enjoyed playing the holes the pace of play was absolutely terrible at one point we had three t times all waiting on the t it got to the 14 th hole when both the two infront of us and my friend and I decided we were not prepared to stay in the rain any longer waiting to t off someone should either sort out the t times or be on the course making sure people are keeping up with play it ruined what could have been a nice game again the course was very nice but it would put me off wanting to play it again I’ve not had it this bad on all the other courses we play in the area ?
Day Out At Queens Park
Good mix of challenging and shorter par 4s
Well conditioned and suitable for all standards
Dog walkers everywhere
First time playing at this course, overall feedback being that the course it’s self was an ok course. However, it is open to the public and dog walkers were everywhere. (People walking up fair ways, dogs trying to pinch your ball, bunkers and fairways were in poor condition aswell)
We paid £32 for a round each, I wouldn’t pay more than £15 to play at this course. Won’t be playing there again, highlight was the cider at the end of the round!
Overall rating 3/10.
