The
2018 British Masters was played on this course, one of two at this
location. It’s a traditional adventure
style course with very few obstacles and our least favorite metal cups. Overall it is a well-maintained course, the
carpets were in good condition and there were various bits of theming
throughout the course, though most of it was to the side of the holes and not
used as obstacles. However, the
dinosaurs were quite large and impressive.
The course uses the rock edging, so on a few holes where a bounce is
advantageous there could be inconsistency in what you get. The holes all have a well-defined starting
area and there is plenty of room between the holes for gathering which we saw
put to use on the sister course once it got busy with the public at play.
The
course itself is a good mix between aceable holes,
especially on the front 9, and a few testers on the back nine. While the
tournament players used a variety of minigolf balls,
you can play the course easily under the course par with just a general golf
ball. The metal cups do make some of the second shots difficult both with their
lack of forgiveness and some undulations around the cup that make a soft putt
almost impossible to sink.
We’d
recommend playing this course as it was a good adventure style course with
other options including the driving range and snack bar. It was easy for us to find off the train from
London and seemed to be accessible from other parts of the suburbs as well. It
reminded us of a lot of courses back home.
