Pros:

Bullitt County DGC is a pretty fantastic little niner on the southern side of Louisville. Great beginner length course but appealing to anyone. The lengths range from about 130' up to 225'.

Brand new Innova Discatcher Pro 28's here. These are excellent baskets and catch great. One basket and pin position per hole.

Concrete tees on every hole. Grippy, level and amply sized. These things are great. Perfectly sized for the lengths required out here. One tee pad per hole.

The course is very easy to follow. There's a kiosk before hole 1 with the course map so you can easily take a picture to help navigate. I doubt that you'll need it though. The course plays basically clockwise the entire way and you can see the next tee from the previous basket on every hole. It's a small park but the course doesn't feel like it was smashed into here.

Nice park for a little nine. There's at least a couple trees in play on every single hole and the course features rolling terrain which makes roll aways an ever present possibility. A small, clear creek runs from north to south right down the center of the park too but only will really come into play on hole 8 if you go deep. Other than a long roll if you catch edge.

The tee signs are well done. Basic course map with next tee arrows and any possible OB to go along with the hole #, par and distance. These are the same exact type of signs that they have at Ryan's course, just with a better looking map it looked like.

Cons:

There's the chance that you'll have to deal with the sounds of screaming elementary schoolers on recess depending on when you go. Like I got to listen too.

As the previous review said, there is a walking trail that runs through the middle. Shouldn't usually be too much of an issue but worth being aware off.

Other Thoughts:

This one was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a pretty standard park style nine but it's actually got some fun little lines and some charm. It'd play this quite often if I lived nearby. Just a very well done little course. Worth a visit if you find yourself near here. I really enjoyed this one.

A quick option for suckers sitting in the kid pickup line at the elementary.

Pros:

As usual with a HB Clark design, this beginner course has excellent signage, concrete tee pads surrounded by gravel with railroad ties as borders, new Innova baskets, and a course sign with map. Every course requires shot shaping with plenty of trees, walking path OB, and a small creek flowing through the course.

Plenty of elevation on this course with hole 8 being blind from the tee. No mando on hole 6 forcing me to take the fairway and preventing me from standing on the back of the pad to launch a RH forehand sky anny with a comet. I despise mandos that take away fun routes (thinking about the triple mando at Sparkman Park Hole 1 in Hartselle, AL).

Several run away greens on this course. Great pitch and putt! Leave the drivers at home.

Cons:

It's squeezed together. The walking path comes into play on a few holes. There were flags along the walking path making me think how awful it'd be to play league or a tournament here with 45 people on the course and potential walkers.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a quick play. So if you're unfortunate enough to live in a school district that does not have school buses and have to pick your kids up at school or you're a helicopter parent that won't let your kid ride the bus, you can arrive early to get in a quick round.
