Not great, but very interesting. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 10, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is a great example of. What DIY can be when there are some dedicated individuals involved.

The course is layed out fairly well, and though it's flat as a board there are enough trees guarded pins and OB to make it interesting.

The course plays through some partially abandoned residential blocks and makes use of an area that in any cases would be an unused hazard in a rough neighborhood.

The homemade baskets are not great, but catch well.

A few of the teepads are old oriental rugs with was kind of fun to throw on.

I was accompanied by two young boys for the first 6-7 holes. I let them throw some and they were attentive and interested. I wish I hadn't given away all my extras at a clinic to give to them.

Cons:

Okay, this course has a cool story and nice layout, but it's got serious warts.

The neighborhood isn't awesome, and could make some feel uncomfortable.

The baskets while they catch okay, they are still homemade and could really mess up a base plastic putter. I use liquid touches and they were fine but i bet a DX would get eaten.

The grounds needed mowing Brady and stinging nettles abound.

In the summer it's probably pretty buggy and easy to lose discs.

Other Thoughts:

I love the story on how it was built and the attitude behind it, this course feels like it could be important, but for now it's just an okay neighborhood course.

I'd probably go play Hiller next time I'm in town, but I'm still glad to have gone there.

Worth a play but don't go too far out of your way.
