I have, but probably 7 or so years ago. Ok beginner track, quite a few fairways ran adjacent to each other so a fair bit of two way traffic but not too expensive and a good starting in the game.

Overall I enjoyed the golf I played there.

its a cheap course which has very narrow fairways and poor greens in the winter (and summer)

err - why ask if you already know the answer you want? Not sure what your purpose for this thread is!

Parley is ok for a summer twilight. It's got some pretty big plans for a dedicated short game area etc to compliment the range. They've also got expansion plans for the course. It's not ferndown, but then it doesn't claim to be.

Ask for reviews of the course then give them yourself ?!

That would be good news - there are quite a few tracks around that suit folks new to the game and probably do it better than Parley, Ferndown Forest comes to mind and there are some others, but I can't think of too many (any?) places with a good quality, dedicated short game area open to the public so may be a smart move.

(btw, for those who do have a good public shortgame area, how do the economics work as by the bucket of balls won't work as 1/3 bucket could last all day!)

I regularly play there and I want to know what other people think of it due to my recent doubts about its future and want to play a bigger course

What are your doubts about its future?

They are expanding the course but editing out the current 4th, 5th and 6th holes and they are some of the best on the course.
