Pros:
I am a full time RVer and play courses all over, but two thirds have been out west. I am particular and usually don't play courses unless they rate at least a 3.0. I rarely play 9 hole courses as they usually disappoint. Not this one!
- Set up as a nine hole course, but with the dual tee pads, plays like a real 18 hole course
- The tee pads are quite nice, not just dirt spots
- Very well laid out around a large city park so as to avoid playgrounds, parking areas, ball fields and general pedestrian traffic.
- Great mix of long/short, open/technical, right/left fairways
- Fairly intuitive once you can find the first tee pad.
- Arrows on most baskets point you toward the next tee pad
Cons:
- The first tee pad is NOT near the east entrance as advertised on their course write up page. It is across the street from the dog park parking lot, toward the southwest side of the park
- While there are signs with distances on each tee pad, it would be nice to indicate where the pin is.
- Most tee pads point toward the pin, but not all
- The only tee pad with safety issues is #1 as you tee off toward oncoming traffic
Other Thoughts:
Overall, this is one of the best 9 hole courses I've ever played. The 18 hole modification is a real bonus. Many city park courses endanger other park users with the layout and they've done a nice job with this one. Once you play the course once (or just the first 9) it is easy to follow the next time around.
