Pros:
Five fair holes with a bit of challenge.
For a course this short, it's easier to write in prose than bullet points. The course here at Bill Wood Park plays in a partial circle beside and behind the park's baseball fields through some unused grassy space. The five baskets are in fine shape, and all but (1) have tee signs including number and distance. There are no navigation issues as each basket is visible from the tee and each tee is visible from the previous basket. Maintenance didn't seem to be an issue when I played.
The holes themselves are reasonably fun to play. For example, (1) is a 300' downhill semi-tunnel shot, (2) plays along the natural curve of a hill with trees rewarding a miss, and (5) allows you to open up and go for the 2. Most greens are on a slope to make putting more intentional. (3) and (4) could churn out aces not infrequently. If I had a child playing ball in a league here, I would be thrilled at the opportunity to throw a bit during a practice or such.
Cons:
It's short. Done before you can say, "If Bill Wood could he would throw good," three times fast.
There's nothing stunning about these 5 holes. None is objectionable, but none is stellar, either. With only 5 holes to work with, it's nearly impossible to accomplish a meaningful variety of shapes and styles. I was finally getting an appetite to throw a complete round when I started hole (5) and realized it was my last tee shot. This aspect, more than any other, drags the course's rating down.
There are some notable omissions here, too. No tee pads, no extras like practice baskets, and no indication of the start of the course. It ends on almost the complete opposite side of the park from where it begins, and it's not feasible to play the course backwards due to safety hazards between holes.
Two other cons: drainage and safety. Hole (5) was a soft and muddy mess when I played it. There are also some safety hazards with this park. The bleachers and field are in danger on (1), the road comes into play on (5), and the field is also reachable with a bad drive on (4). On a busy day, I don't know how playable the course would be if families were playing or picnicking in the green space.
Other Thoughts:
If we were to rate courses based on how well they filled their purpose of installation, Bill Wood Park would earn a 4.5. It's nearly a perfect little 5-hole addition to a park for families to play while other members are busy. However, I rate each course within the spectrum of all other courses, and by that measure Bill Wood's timid number of holes and lack of variety earn it a Poor.
