Chippewa Falls Middle School 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 14, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

There are baskets to throw at.
The long holes offer a good chance to pull out the drivers and warm up the throwing arm. I often throw a few on the the football field hole, as it's 600+ ft.
The wooded holes give a good chance to work with mid-range and long putters.
Baskets up all year.

Cons:

Five of the holes have been removed over the years and haven't been replaced. The first came out because the middle school built a new garage/storage building between the tee and the pin, it was hole #4. Holes #1 and 2 were removed so they could do some landscaping work, they could/should be put back. Hole #3 was probably removed because the basket was next to faculty parking. Hole #15 was taken out so they could clear some trees. The school added two "challenge" holes in the woods, one is a glorified putt, throwing down a steep hill into a ravine if over shot. The other is a blind hyzer running along side the hill, with a narrow fairway and thick trees and brush.
There is also a hole behind the school that is roughly 84 ft from tee to pin, a good hole to practice jump putts on.
Kids vandalize the signs and break glass bottles in the woods.

Other Thoughts:

I'm a local and use this course often for practice, but it has gone down hill in the last 6 years or so.
This course could be restored with little work, as the school has stored all the removed baskets in their storage building. A few holes could be redesigned, if nothing more, just to add length.
Unfortunately, there isn't enough public interest in restoring this course. Which is a shame, as it could be a nice compliment to the great courses in the surrounding cities.

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 23, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course offers a couple of very challenging holes.

Cons:

The challenging holes are down steep slopes heading toward a creek bottom in a heavily wooded area...it is so difficult, it isn't very fun. Other holes are so laughibly easy. Seemed like the course has not been maintained for a couple of years.

Other Thoughts:

I could not find the first couple of holes.
