Small Teepads 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

easy for beginners
good baskets
every whole can be easily birdied
easy layout to follow

Cons:

small teepees
simple design, very monotonous

Other Thoughts:

It was once a prettier park with hope, but due to drought, trees have not grown much and pond is basically empty. If you can drive up to 400 feet, this will be the easiest course ever played. I am from Lemoore, and the 45 minute drive to Woodward is worth it.

Pretty mediocre 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 23, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course uses the back half of a nice neighborhood park. I didn't see much conflict with other park uses other than the first and ninth holes, which was a pleasant surprise in a multi-use park. There are lots of young trees planted, when they grow up this course will be a lot more interesting and challenging. There is a pretty good mix of hole lengths, with some very short ace runs and a couple longer shots where most players will need a driver.

A couple baskets are near the pond, making players choose to go for it and risk going long into the water or laying up short and having a tricky approach with water still lurking behind. The tees are small, but are nice concrete with good texture. The signs are plenty descriptive to get players to the pin and to the next tee.

Cons:

There are a ton of safety issues here. The first hole plays along a walking path, and the 9th hole plays right by other park activities. Many of the holes play over and along other fairways, with only poorly defined "dog-legs" on the signs to direct players along the intended routes. With multiple groups here it's inevitable that discs will end up flying into other groups. Several tees are right near the previous basket adding another potential issue.

The course is wide open at the moment. The trees will be nice in a couple decades, but for now it's possible to just hyzer over all of them. It felt like the design has a bit of an identity crisis, with some holes that are so short that they'll only be interesting to brand new players, while other holes are long enough that they'd be frustrating and boring for those same new players.

Other Thoughts:

This property isn't very interesting to begin with, and the design makes things pretty unsafe. I would much rather see a park like this used to make a well-designed and safe beginner course with fewer holes than a crammed in layout like this. Beginners will find the course pretty accessible, with only a couple chances to lose discs in the water and no real chance of punishment for errant drives. Experienced players won't find any real challenge or variety here. Don't go out of your way for this one.
