Ronald there's a better thread somewhere started by FBD entitled something like, A Park in a a Park!
There's no photos but someone who's played it a lot more than I have, comments on it.

It's on very flat free draining land, but its OK with some nice holes. However the Greens are nothing like e.g. Huntercombe.  I think it's been changed more than once since then accommodate new clubhouses etc.


For lovers of trivia, the Park around the course is where they filmed the title sequence of the much loved BBC comedy Dad’s Army.
Let's make GCA grate again!

If you were to contact Iain Carter, the BBC Radio Five Live golf commentator, via Radio Five Live he'd probably tell you all about it - he's a member.
