Beautiful city park course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 27, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Playing Margaret Hunter Park was a very pleasant surprise. First, and most important, it's a beautiful course. The previously posted photos were a little dated, so I've added some new ones.The grassy fairways were neatly trimmed and well maintained, with no litter. Even though I wouldn't call it a wooded course, there are a lot of mature trees to negotiate. There's also a winding creek that comes into play on almost every hole. You're either throwing across it or alongside of it, and make no mistake, it will swallow up your disc. There are many baskets set just in front of the creek, which forces you to make a decision of laying up or going for it. The layout is unique and gives you the opportunity for a variety of throws. Don't make the mistake of carrying only a driver and a putter. There are several holes over 300 feet, so there's room for most of us to rip it. Still, I'd consider it more of a finesse course. If you can keep it in play, you'll score well. I've got to believe the designer gave a lot of thought in creating the course on the size property he (she) had to work with. Well done!

Cons:

Not too many negative things to say. Sure, concrete tee pads would be great, and most of the baskets could use a coat of paint. On my last visit I also noted that the basket on hole 3 had been vandalized,

Other Thoughts:

I wasn't sure whether to list the number of holes (12) as a pro or a con. The temperature was near 90 the day I played so I was "done" after 12. If you've still got energy to burn, play it twice.
My family enjoys playing a variety of courses. We try to stay within an hour of home and this one was at the edge of that limit (55 minutes from Simpsonville). It was definitely worth the drive, we'll be back.
