Northampton Hospital Grounds, AKA "The Dog Park" offers a great variety of challenges. It's the diversity of the course makes it a pleasure to play. There are also alternate Tee-boxes and baskets to challenge the Pros. It can become quite overgrown in the Summer months and you may have to wait for pedestrians to walk past at the first Tee, otherwise the course is great. Volunteers, mostly from the Nototuck DG League, maintain it well.
