The one thing this course has is that it's a lot harder than most people think. It's hilly and challenging. I've taken people who have played on really good courses. They come away feeling flustered. There are times when the views can be unexpectedly beautiful. Play in the afternoon and you'll be struck by the lovely quiet.
Unfortunately, it's not well kept. The grass is too long and I don't think that's part of the challenge. There are also plenty of foxes, but there are no signs about how to deal with them. Some might say that's obvious, but it's not really. Foxes are still relatively unknown in an urban environment.
It's fairly convenient, but overall it's an odd place. The staff isn't particularly friendly or helpful, save for those who check your receipt and put you in line. No one there seems particularly happy.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, More than a field, but less than a golf course, Worse than average course for the area
