(1.766 Rating) Dinglewood is an older park style course with a couple good shots.
- TEES - Well... at least the tees are nice. 5 foot by 10 foot and concrete with a fair amount of tee shading.
- ELEVATION - Some nice elevation and 6 holes have at least ten feet of grade change in them. Hole (9) is a nice 40 to 45 foot down shot off the top of a bluff.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - Other than maybe hole (1), this will be a nice beginners course. Limited overgrowth, only one water hazard and no heavily wooded shots. The hole lengths are Novice to Rec level which gives something newer players to strive towards.
- QUICK PLAY - I played solo in under 30 minutes. Figure an hour for a four some.

Lacks excellence in all the key areas.
- CHARACTER - Overall the park and course feels a bit run down. The basics are adequate. Decent Chainstar baskets, concrete tees and simple tee signs adhered to all but one tee pad. Hole (1) had a new slab poured. Beyond these core items, there is really nothing else. There is no course map posted on site. There is no picnic shelter, no multi tees and no practice basket. One alternate basket placement on hole (1) and I think one tee may have had a bench.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - Lower Recreational challenges at best. I thought I played well and shot 4 down as a 900ish rated player. The course requires mild power off the tee and also modest technical skills. Rec players should be able to birdie most of them in a few rounds. Advanced players should average 6 to 7 down.
- NAVIGATION - Doable but not the easiest. No course map on site and the tee signs do not have next tee direction. Tee are hard to spot too as the signs are adhered to the pads as noted above. (9) is especially hard to spot, and I likely would have missed it, had I not strolled over to it after I finished hole (4).
- UNIQUENESS - About average for a nine holes, but subpar overall. Minimal distance variation. Every shot is light to moderately wooded and overall the course has a slight monotonous feel. I did like the big downhill shot on (9) to finish it off.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - From far away, I would have concluded a better than average looking park. However while on the course, I did not find this to be true. Trash along the river. A pile of trash on the pathway between (4) and (5). An overall subtle lack of upkeep. On the flipside, Some monster 5 foot wide trees to peak my interest.
- PARKING - A pitted gravel parking lot. I subtract very little for this, like .02 points.
- SPACING - The fairways felt a little cramped. I'd keep my head on swivel if there were multiply groups playing. I personally threw down (8s) fairway on (9), as it was the best attack angle.
- TRASH - I saw an excess amount of trash on this course. I didn't see any transients while out on the course, but I would not be surprised if there was an encampment.

A quick easy bag for those trying to rack up courses. For everyone else, this won't be the go to stop unless they live in the neighborhood. I wasn't expecting much, so I wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed it for what is was. I'd give it a 1.75 if I were allowed to do so.

Good course for beginners, veryyyyy short. Has some different elevations throughout the course but very short.

Can get really muddy after a rain, and the holes are really close together. If you are looking for a challenge you won't find it here.

Beginner friendly, great for practicing midrange and putting.
