Some parts of the course drain better than others, so be prepared for some wet and muddy areas, especially on the holes near the river. The long course, holes 10, 11 and 12 have been flooded and may be closed to save them turning into a mud bath. Where a hole(s) is temporarily closed, you can play another hole(s) twice or we may be able to offer replacement holes.
It will take place on Tuesday and Saturday evenings and we are looking to begin on Tuesday, 15th December at 7:30 pm. Although there will be no fixed cut-off time to your play, we ask that you please arrive between 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm as it will help ensure the event is better-managed while also allowing it to end at a reasonable time. For those solo golfers who may be interested to play but wish to join a group, please arrive at 7:30 pm, so that you can be assigned one if possible.
As it will follow the same course layout, we will be charging the standard short-course fee for non-members (£5 for adults, £3.50 for children) and a discounted £3 for members. We ask that you please pay on arrival as this event will not be supported by the current QP booking system.
In regard to discs, we will be supplying the Glow Lander disc for hire at an additional fee of £2, or buy one for £12, and get your first glow round for free. For those that are looking to up their game that little bit extra, we will also be supplying sets of Flashflight discs (putter, mid-range and driver), which have integral LED’s, and cost £49. Some people attach batteries and LED’s to their regular discs, so you can sort that out yourself if you prefer.
You should bring a torch/flashlight to “charge up” your glow disc, and see where you are going!
If this interests you then it would help us gain an idea of its potential popularity if you indicated your intentions on the facebook event on the Quarry Park page.
Thanks, and hope to see you on the course!

We have some pre-printed vouchers for £10 which can be redeemed for round fees or anything on sale at the shop.
The booking system has slots available starting on 5th December https://quarrypark.app for the few days before then you can pay on arrival. Shop sales will be via the window, but we did get some new supplies of Innova, Discraft and Kastaplast in the last month. We also have the Keep basket and DGUK backpacks.
Warwickshire is in Tier 3. Please observe Covid precautions:
- Toilets - please go before you come to the course to minimise touching surfaces. We don't have mains water. We do have sanitiser.
- Baskets - avoid touching the baskets just in case. If your disc is within 2 metres of the basket, count it as a "gimme" - no need to putt out.
- Picnic Benches - will not be in use, again it's trying to avoid having surfaces touched by others.
- Discs - will be washed after use. You can of course buy your own.
- Shop - will not be open to the public, but you can buy discs and refreshments. Staff will be inside and we will serve via the window.
- As always, keep 2 metres from others, avoid touching surfaces that others may have touched, avoid touching your face, and keep some sanitiser handy.
- It will be just a one day tournament with 2 rounds
- There will be a golf start with no player meeting and no awards ceremony
- Play will be in groups of 3
- Scoring will be via competitors own phones using Discgolfmetrix
- There will be no player ratings or BDGA/PDGA points as sanctioning is not yet available in the UK
