Frequently Asked Questions

Which course should I play at Billingbear Park - the Old or the New?

If you're looking for a proper test, the Old Course (Par 34) is your go-to - it's got some surprisingly tricky holes that demand good shot-making. For a more relaxed, quicker round, or if you're honing your short game, the New Course (Par 27) is perfect; it's a fun, well-maintained executive track. We recommend playing both if you have the time, starting with the Old for a challenge and finishing with the New for some enjoyable iron play.

When's the best time to visit Billingbear Park for a round?

We always aim for late spring through early autumn (May-September) when the English weather is at its most cooperative. You'll find the courses in their prime condition, the greens running true, and the longer daylight hours mean you can easily fit in 18 holes across both courses. Just be prepared for the occasional shower - it's England, after all - but the course drains well.

Is Billingbear Park suitable for a quick round, or can I make a day of it?

Billingbear Park is fantastic for both! You can easily zip around either 9-hole course in under two hours, making it ideal for a quick golf fix. However, we often combine both courses for a full 18-hole experience, or spend extra time on their practice facilities to really dial in our short game. It's a great spot to get some quality golf in without committing to a full-day championship course.

What kind of challenge can I expect on Billingbear Park's courses?

Don't let the '9-hole' tag fool you - the Old Course offers a genuine challenge with some tight fairways and well-protected greens that demand precision, especially on its longer par-4s. The New Course, while shorter, still requires accurate iron play to score well, and its greens can be deceptively tricky. You'll definitely use every club in your bag across both layouts, making it a great test for all skill levels.

What should I know about booking a tee time and facilities at Billingbear Park?

Booking online is always your best bet, especially for weekend mornings, as it's a popular local spot. You'll find a friendly pro shop for essentials and a small clubhouse where you can grab a coffee or a post-round snack. While it's not a resort-style facility, it has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable golf experience, focusing purely on the game.
