What makes Basingstoke Pitch and Putt stand out compared to other local short courses?

What we appreciate most about Basingstoke Pitch and Putt is its surprisingly varied layout for a short course, nestled within a pleasant parkland setting. It offers just enough undulation and clever bunkering on some holes to keep things interesting, preventing it from feeling like a repetitive flat track.

Are there any specific challenges or unique holes I should look out for at Basingstoke Pitch and Putt?

Keep an eye out for the 7th hole - it's a deceptively tricky one with a slight uphill approach and a bunker guarding the front right, often catching out those who under-club. You'll also find a few holes where the mature trees come into play, demanding a bit more precision than you might expect.
