Phear Park Pitch & Putt
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time of year to play Phear Park Pitch & Putt, and what should I expect from the course conditions?
We've found late spring to early autumn (May-September) offers the best conditions here. The grass is usually well-maintained, and you'll avoid the sogginess that can sometimes plague English courses in winter. Expect a relaxed, park-like setting, not championship greens, but perfectly enjoyable for a casual round.
Is Phear Park Pitch & Putt suitable for beginners or families with young children?
Absolutely, it's ideal for both! The holes are short and manageable, making it perfect for those just starting out or for a fun family outing. We often recommend it as a stress-free introduction to golf, where everyone can enjoy themselves without feeling intimidated.
What's the cost to play a round at Phear Park, and do I need to bring my own clubs?
You'll find it very affordable, typically just a few pounds per person for a round. No need to lug your own gear - they have clubs and balls available for hire at a minimal charge, which is super convenient if you're just passing through or didn't pack your full set.
Beyond the golf, what else is there to do or see around Phear Park?
Phear Park itself is a lovely green space, great for a post-round stroll or a picnic. You're also just a short walk from Exmouth town centre and its beautiful sandy beach, so you can easily combine your golf with some seaside relaxation or grab a bite to eat. It's a perfect half-day excursion.
How challenging are the holes at Phear Park, and what's a good strategy for playing them?
The holes are generally straightforward, mostly par 3s, but don't underestimate the subtle undulations on some greens. We recommend focusing on your short game - precise chipping and putting will save you strokes here, much more than power. It's a great place to hone those crucial scoring shots.
