Very Useful For Field Work 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 3, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy to walk 9 hole layout. Cart friendly.
Decent use of land, trees, etc.
Practice basket w/ parking close by.
Bathrooms available somewhat close by.
Concrete tees, signs, Patriot baskets.
Surprisingly good variety of shot selection available.
Good combo of short and long holes.
Beginner friendly with par not being a walk in the park.
Advanced players will enjoy trying to shoot 5-9 down.

Cons:

There's a concrete walking path that borders some of the holes, a misplaced drive can definitely end up hitting a pedestrian. (Holes #1, #2, #6, #9) So it pays to scan a bit down on the path before driving on these holes.

The fairway on Hole #1 can get a bit slippery/muddy when it rains due to the covert in the middle of the fairway.

Holes #7, #9 allow you to stretch out your drive a bit at the expense of having anything to get in your way.

Other Thoughts:

For me personally this is a great course for field work. I routinely play it putter only and enjoy the challenge of shooting below par. The front 4 holes are ideal to make your own tees and challenge your various skills. On hole #1 it's fun to throw a regular shot but also play safari to basket #2.

Hole #6 (395ft) with the pond & walking path to the left and the creek to the right is the signature hole imop. You're typically driving in front of a few pedestrians who might acknowledge your good drive. A good drive straight down the pipe (with a slight right finish) could reward you with a birdie look, but you'll have to navigate a electric tower in the process. If you birdie hole #6, you've earned some bragging rights for sure.

With the land given to them, I think the layout is about as good as it could be. I wouldn't mind seeing something done with Hole #7. Maybe move the basket to the right, add some hay bales and make it an island hole.

There's some possible expansion in the works, but I'm not sure if it's even needed. For what it is, it's definitely the best 9 hole course in the area. Much better than Keene, Swau, Rio Vista.

Next time you play, bring just a putter and enjoy the increased challenge of getting par or better! ;)

Really fun 9 holes 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 3, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a super clean park not far off the highway. The baskets are great and new. The layout is actually pretty fun. Some trees on most holes but nothing too hard for a 9 hole. Signs are easy to follow and they actually ask you for feedback. They only have 1 tiny hill but they used it. Great use of land.

Cons:

Some fairly long walks from parking and under bridge. No distance on signs. No concrete pads but i don't mind they have it well marked.

There is some cross overs but on this 1 it makes since you can see why.

Other Thoughts:

Under bridge to get to 1 easy to see once you are under bridge.

I am sad this isnt 18 it was pretty fun.
