We are now open from 10 a.m. 7 days a week. The course is in great condition, but we are still trying to get grass established in the woods and so the 2 black course holes inside the woods are currently closed, and hole 11 uses the alternative basket position closer to the river.
The 32nd Quarry Park Open is scheduled for 25-26 July and will use the blue course for round 1 and the Championship course for rounds 2 and 3. This does mean that both the short and long courses will be reserved for tournament play, and hence not open for casual rounds.

The 10th Quarry Park Masters tournament is on 19-20th September. This will use the main (long) course, and hence the short course will be open to the public for casual rounds, while the long course will be reserved for the tournament all Saturday and also Sunday morning.
We have a one day tournament on Saturday 11th April which is part of the EDGA Tour. The long course will be reserved for tournament play, but the short course remains open to the public as usual. Details of the English Disc Golf Association and its Tour can be found at https://discgolfengland.com/
After a very wet winter, the course has been drying out over the last few weeks. The regular blue and red layouts for the long course are in play but hole 11 uses the alternative basket position closer to the river, and hole 16 has a temporary basket adjacent to the "nipple". This is in order to allow newly sewn grass to establish in these areas. The black course holes inside the woods are NOT in play for the same reason.
As ever, course changes can be necessary due to heavy rain and flooding, but the short course is not affected and there will always be a long layout that you can play.
The course will now ordinarily be closed on Mondays until next Spring, but we may be able to open by arrangement, and we may also be open at half terms. The long course has 6 or 7 holes that can become flooded when the Avon bursts it banks, and even when the floods recede we might close some of the holes in/by the woods to avoid damaging the soft ground, but in those circumstances we open up extra holes on the area used by the short course, or you can play some holes twice to get a full 18. We generally open the course in all weathers, but will close early if it's raining hard and there are no bookings.
If you have any questions about the conditions and playability of the course please call Ali on 07554146348
