Access To The Course
Since Spring 2006 there has been a new access direct from Old Milverton
Lane. This is situated about 600m from the roundabout at the north
end of Old Milverton Lane. Visitors must use this access, you must
not use the access via the BPAS Clinic, nor park in their car park.
For safety reasons you must not park on the road, so if the course
gates are closed, you will have to come back another time.
Important
Just 200m from the roundabout, there is a small sign on a gate saying
'Quarry Park'. Please ignore, this is not Quarry Park Disc Golf
course.
