Decent beginner course in a residential neighborhood

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 17, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Pretty good use of a small, city park surrounded on all sides by residential housing. This is one of those courses you would like to live near to stop by for a quick 9 or just putting practice. The DISCatchers are all in pretty good shape and easy to spot in the park.
Lots of large, old growth trees throughout the park, many with low hanging spanish moss and even a few low hanging branches.
There are tee markers, with the local clubs name and logo, two marking the fronts of the natural tees.
There are 9 Baskets and two distinct tees for this "18" hole course, they provide different looks at the baskets in most cases.
There are a nice variety of hole layouts, using the available trees, tennis court fence and a few other obstacles. One of the more unusual pin position was for #8, underneath one of these low hanging branches that require a skip shot to get close or have a chance at an ace.

Cons:

There are only a few other activities in the park, a playground and tennis courts that don't look like they have seen any activity in quite a while. With the houses completely surrounding this park, I can see it being popular with walkers and dog owners. This probably will lead to a lot of interactions with these other park users.
With the tees being natural, several are getting rutted and even exposing tree roots.
As you can probably guess with a small, city park course, not a lot of distance on this course. Not a pitch and putt for most players, but the 18 average less than 250' and the longest is just 336'.

Other Thoughts:

This would be a good course to bring the family, or beginners. The baskets are in good shape, no tight tunnels or thick brush to hunt through for your discs. In fact, the disc loss potential is very low here. (Don't recall if the tennis courts are locked or not.) There are starting to be several courses in Savannah, so this is another one for newer players to start on before moving on to better courses like Tom Triplett.
The local club has put some good work into getting this course approved, laid out and installed but it is not the highly rated course from the initial review. I'm basing my rating on what I believe the course actually is and will let that lower the average ranking.
