Pitch & Putt

My grandsons have always enjoyed their visit to pitch & putt when they are in Chelmsford, but yesterday's visit was disappointing. Prices have risen hugely and the pitch is not in good condition. Long grass meant they spent more time searching for balls than playing.

Has lost a bit of its lustre over the years, but still a decent 18 hole p&p. Spoilt a bit now by the fact that you have Frisbee golf and football golf all on the same course, we went on a weekday and it was still irritating. It must be bedlam at the weekend and school holidays.

Don't wear any decent clothes there. We are no longer in COVID measures, but they still make you put your clubs in a bucket at the end for some reason. The grips fill with dirty water which leaks all over the place and will wreck any light coloured clothes. I can forgive the grass being a bit poor, it's a pitch and putt. However one of the flags was about 1ft tall, so short that the flag itself was on the floor and you can't see it from the tee. How hard is it to quickly cut a new length of plastic for the flagpole, especially in summer when the place is busy.

Pre-booked for a group of 12 people. Bit disorganised to start with as staff member didn't seem to know how to deal with the booking but eventually sorted out after he made a phone call. Did the first 9 holes which was great for a mixed ability group.

Great laugh and lots of fun .. Great for everyone one
