Beware

Considering the weather lately, the course is very playable. Two points of notice. Firstly dogcwalkers who stand chatting in the middle of the fairway, and those who believe your ball is intended for their pet.
Apart from this small but annoying matter, Queens Park can be a good test of golf.
It would be nice if the bar was open after 3.30 ad I and many others were in need of a hot drink!!!🤭

Super course to play in the winter

Really can’t fault the course. Open when many in the area closed due to days of rainfall. All greens in use and only a few mats for tee’s. Worth the 70 mile round trip. Be back soon !

Dog walkers.

Queenspark is a great course with lots of history... Quite long and challenging. Very hilly in parts...
Unfortunately dog walkers and strollers appear out of nowhere all over the course..

Considering the recent rain the course was in good condition and what you would expect at this time of year.As it is a municipal park course there are a lot of dog walkers and people walking around some of which are oblivious to golfers. A well laid out course with some challenging terrain but all in all very good.

Unfortunately in the winter the bar closes at 1430, which is a little too early if you start your round before lunch.

Good Winter Course

Many courses still closed due to the amount of rain the past few months. So was very surprised how dry and firm the fairways where. Testing enough and quite hilly in places. Downside to this place is the dog walkers. Some of these people were oblivious that they were on a golf course and could be hit by a ball. Standing in the middle if the faiway talking to felliw walkers throwing a ball for there dog. Otheres walking down the middle over a bling crest. In a nutshell! If you dont mind the dogs running off with your ball and dog walkers everywhere go play. It is a nice course and good in the winter.

Walked

The course is amazing in itself, albeit not in the best of conditions. The course is open to the public and ultimately, it got to me playing golf and having members of the public walking across virtually every fairway I played.

Queens Park

Very nice course in fairly good condition. Has two holes with very steep climbs so you will feel it after a round. Played on hot day and the only water fountain I came across was broken which was only negative thing really.

Do not play weekends or bank holidays

Terrible experience. Public course so filled with kids who were throwing the flags, riding electric scooters on the green and dog poo everywhere. Might not be as bad if you can play during the week but avoid any other time! Will not be playing here again. Front 9 doesn’t finish at the clubhouse either, we were planning on walking off but had no choice but to finish.

Public Park first!, Golf course second.

Course is open to the public firstly as a park which is accessible to people with dogs, cyclists and children. Golf is secondary ,therefore if you are waiting to tee off and anybody walking their dogs can without any thought for the golfers walk across the course and you the golfer are responsible if any person gets struck by the golf ball.
Members of the public do not take any notice of the dangers of being hit by a golf ball and just walk anywhere they please. There are hidden dips on the fairways and you cannot see people when you are hitting the golf ball.
It's a dangerous course and I would recommend that you do not play here

Needs more signs warning of dangers to golfers and members of the public.

Nice to get out

Nice to get out and weather was good.

Have to say the course condition wasn't great, lots of bare patched on the fairways and even some of the greens.

Nice course to play, but not worth £30 a round, especially with the hundreds of dog walkers that don't pay any attention.

Awful

Complete rip off, greens were rubbish although they had been hollow cored, played off of mats which were terrible and the fairways were also rubbish, complete waste of money as only played 14 holes also because of slow play.

A Faded Gem

You can see why this was once a great course and there is a challenge to be had here still, as well as flashes of breathtaking beauty.

Greens are true and still quite quick having been recently dressed. Many tees moved up, but understandable for the time of the year. The fairways will benefit from grass growing again. It looks like holes 3 & 4 were once played off tees long since used. Hole 16 will remind you that golf doesn't have to be a game of long to be great...

I found the dog walkers and park users charming, friendly and polite (I see others here have found it hard to coexist). Very good value for money and a warm welcome from the golf professional.

One slight concern is for the safety of those walkers using crossing paths blind to golfers (e.g. Holes 1 & 6).

A good day out.

Ruined by ignorant walkers

Once again a round ruined by ignorant dog walkers, standing right in the way , on purpose, just walking out as your taking your shot then stopping in middle of fairway, should be some code of conduct or signs , it’s getting ridiculous, that’s why I can’t recommend it, only worth what we paid , not any more and that’s even in summer !!!!
