Course choice

[thomasmark71]

8 of us going to either
cumberwell park or the shropshire
Going to do 18 and also do the par 3 course same day

Cumberwell with golf, buggy, lunch is £92.50 and shropshire is £61.50

How do both courses compare with each other
All advise appreciated

I prefer Cumberwell, but that's only my opinion

Only played Cumberwell but never had any complaints. Only caveat would be try and avoid the Orange 9 holes as it is a bit bland - very open and a bit 'linksy' on the top of the hill. The other 3 nines are good as is the par 3 course - it's no easy pitch and putt!

Any reason?
Better quality?

Agree 100% with this. We play them in the league every year and the yellow and red are beasts off the back tees but very playable of the yellows. The blue is good fun with quite a bit of water. Avoid the Orange. It doesn’t drain well so not for mid winter but unless it has been really wet it’s fine Spring, Summer and Autumn. Par 3 course is well worth playing too with some cracking holes.

Water on a golf course is never my idea of fun!
