Banal Canal

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 18, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

The canal comes into play on the last four holes adding something to your brain for the tee shot. Few trees dot the landscape here but are used fairly well where they could be. You can get a round in here quickly, the course looks underused.

Cons:

Short and mostly open holes that your putter makes quick work of. You'll feel like a champ here being well under par and not challenged at all.

Other Thoughts:

It's a course and you can play here but don't go out of your way. The canal is nice to look at but that's about it. If you're a course bagger you've seen this a million times.

Great grass 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 24, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

The grass is amazing. Too lush to get any kind of skip.

Cons:

Hole 8 and 9 are across the canal, wedged between the canal fence and soccer fields. If I play here again I'll skip them.

Really short and really flat.

Other Thoughts:

Not bad for a quick lunchtime break. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to play here.

Pros:

• #8 and #9 are interesting holes that take good advantage of a row of trees.
• There are many trees on the course. Even though the holes lengths are short, you'll have to be accurate on your tee shots.
• Nice grassy park setting.

Cons:

• Too many short holes (<200').
• Scary big and fast flowing canal beside a few holes.
• Start and finish are quite far apart.

Other Thoughts:

This course won't challenge an experienced player except for holes 8 and 9. I was disappointed when I played it because I had just watched a TV news story about the Treasure Valley's new DG course. I was hoping that it would provide an alternative for the always over-crowded Ann Morrison Park. I don't think many players will spend much time here. However, it is a great place to take a beginner because of the many short holes. I did score a 9-hole personal best score of -7 here, but there should be an asterisk beside this one because of the short length.
