Living The Dream
If you love disc golf, then you have probably dreamed of having your own course, with trees planted just where you want them, no people picniccing under the baskets, no dogs chasing your plastic, maybe some benches by the tees and so on. This is Quarry Park.

The Course
Quarry Park is a tight technical course set in 6 hectares of beautiful countryside dedicated just to disc golf. The standard course length is 1688m, and it is a technical course, which plays quite difficult when it is windy.The average SSA from 7 tournament rounds rated by PDGA is 51.53. In the latest tournament it was windy and the best score from 58 players in 3 rounds was 55.

We hosted the British Open in 2004, and the course has come on A LOT since then:- a new access and car park; 4m x 2m artificial grass tees on all holes; yellow bands fitted to baskets; disc golf sculpture; and much higher level of maintenence. We will also soon have new tee signs on all holes.

Tournament
The tournament will be run according to PDGA Eurotour guidelines. We now have final confirmation from our title sponsor, Wolseley, which will enable us to meet or exceed a pro payout of at least €2000. There will be 3 rounds of 18 holes for everyone, followed by 9 hole divisional finals, running alongside Open semi-finals. After that we have the Open Final for the top 4 Open Division players. Spectators are very welcome to come and watch the finals on Sunday afternoon.

Transport
We are right in the middle of England, and transport to the course is pretty easy by car or by public transport, except the last 600m. The nearest airport is Birmingham International which is just 25km. Luton is 100km, Heathrow 160km, and Stansted is 175km. Check the travel page
