Visiting from the US and this is a very solid course. Easy to get to, has great tee pads and great signage. Holes were very lefty friendly which was interesting, but overall a good time! Thanks to the locals for showing me around

Bra bana. Det är i en stor park och hålen går längs med många promenadstigar. Det är väldigt många gömda korgar bakom svängar och krön. Farligt då det är mycket folk som går i parken omedvetet på fairways. Sen är korgarna helt okej. Gamla men fångar bra. Det är ganska bra skyltat mellan hålen. Teepadsen är väldigt fina för att vara England. Men linjerna och Fairway är ofta väldigt smala och svåra. Det är mycket taggbuskar direkt inpå Fairway. Så stor risk att tappa dicar. (3.5/5.0)

First the visiting from Canada. I was able to play with a local (Adam) who made navigating the course a breeze! We played the championship and the blue layout and both are phenomenal! Tight lines with lots of shot variety. Amazing experience, I hope I can play here again!

Good park course. Different options for beginners to advanced players. Basic tee areas and decent baskets. Some high grassy areas and the park was busy with people picnicking and walking around some be aware of that when throwing as there are a few blind holes. UDisc is a must finding your way through the course.

Not good upkeep and shot variety was not there, alot of holes turning right and almost no hole can be seen from the tee

Course wasn't bad. It mentioned in the description that they only maintain it twice a year. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't the greatest. Scenery was okay.

Finally got chance to come down and try the course. Played the intermediate 18 layout and found my way around thanks to UDisc. Whilst I may not agree with some of the course design with respect to paths and blind approaches, there are a variety of fun shots and good use of terrain

Great course! Was in London for the week and was able to make it out to play here. It's about 45 min from central London by train, which isn't too bad. Nice fairways, and lots of holes that ask you to shape a shot. A fair number of left to right pushing hyzers and slow drifting right to left - but not to say they are all the same, lots of holes have unique challenges. A fair amount of elevation too, which I did not expect. Really nice way to get out of the downtown and see a different part of the city. I highly recommend getting a round in here if you are visiting and have a few hours to spare.

Very solid course and super easy to get to.

Coming from the states, this was one of the closer ones to London, decent spot, rough is pretty gnarly. Layout could use a bit of an overhaul as you’re constantly crossing fairways and blind shots through and over walking paths. But still a fun time

I'll going to preface this by saying that ultimately I enjoyed myself. Ok. This course needs some work. I almost didn't come because the last few reviews all said the grass was too high. Honestly I would say that is this courses third biggest issue. Issue #1: The layout of this course doesn't make much sense. There were multiple shots down blind alleys that are also pedestrian walking trails. That's a recipe for diaster. Also there were huge distances between some holes, which brings me to... Issue #2 This course needs signage!!! I spent about as much time finding the next hole as I did playing. There is more than enough room for a great course on this property, and I think it could be done in a way that would greatly minimize the risk to others in the park, and it could be a much better course. I was visiting London and I was happy for the opportunity to get out of the city a bit. It's a nice park, it was easy enough to get to. This course just needs a redesign. If you go wear long pants. The grass is long and there are lots of prickly things in the rough.

Needs a lot of upkeep. If I was a local, I’d have turned around and gone back home but I’m from the States and took over an hour of public transportation to throw a round so I forced it (and lost two good discs in the process).

This course is rated high because the locals don't have much to compare it to. If this course was in my home town it wouldn't be played much and would have a very low rating. If you don't use udisc you will have difficulty locating the next pad, though there are arrows on the basket. They don't help much. No other signs to help the flow. Some holes are VERY far apart. Hole 6 and 7. They only mow here twice a year....why put a course in a place you can't mow? No other up keep. Most places off the fairway is littered with thorn bushes making it almost impossible to get your disc back. You can keep my Destroyer. The lay out is way less than par. The distances are completely wrong. This place is big and has potential but whoever designed it wasn't a DG player. This place was so disappointing I didn't finish. If you're from the US and visiting London, don't waste your time.

Very fun. A lil tricky to find some tees but definitely enjoyed it. From Charlotte, NC

This is definitely the best Disc Golf course in the London area. A little difficult to navigate around the long/championship team and there are some long walks between a few holes. A lot of people walking around with their dogs and often times will get in your way where you have to wait. I would only suggest a little better signage to navigate you between the holes. Even with the arrows on the baskets and UDisc, it was still a little tricky to find some of the tee boxes. There is a great mix of long and short holes, as well as wooded and open. Definitely would come back to play this course next time I am visiting London from the United States.

The nettles are really awful right now. Whatever you do, stay out of the rough on 6-15. Otherwise it’s playing fine. Bit muddy in places.

This course is really great. I’m visiting from the USA and it is just as good if not better than many of the high quality courses I’ve played in America. It is much prettier and well trimmed than the UDisc pictures make it look. The grass was very well cut, you don’t need to worry about it only being mowed twice a year. The rough is not as bad as other comments describe as long as you have a jacket and pants, it’s not too dense. The championship layout is HARD. On the par 4s you really need two very good shots to have a chance at birdie but it is super fun and challenging. There are also a lot of baskets that are hidden from the approach shot, making for a difficult first play through, but I still enjoyed it. I only have two complaints. First is that the cold weather causes condensation in the grass and it becomes muddy, making the turf tee pads sometimes difficult to feel safe with grip, I slipped on a few of the tee pads, not fun. This isn’t something the course maintenance team can really do anything about so I’m not holding it against the course. Second is that it’s not clear where short course overlaps with the championship/intermediate course. I often ran into other groups playing the short course and didn’t know we were shooting to the same basket which could’ve caused someone to get hit by a disc. Just be aware of that. This is the only reason I wouldn’t rate it 5 stars!

I don’t understand the high rating unless it is by comparison to other local courses. For what a disc golf course should be, 3 stars is appropriate. Poorly mowed grass(because of park restrictions), short and lumpy tee pads, mediocre signage.

Best course in London! 3 different layouts and new turf tees. Challenging, fun, and in beautiful Lloyd park. East to get to by public transport and a nice cafe on site.
