Good for such a small area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 4, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

- With limited space the baskets still require some skill in throwing different types of shots
- The tees are easy to find
- The grass is well kept and the course is in good condition
- Great for fitting a quick round in

Cons:

- The new tees (as of 9/4/2011) are concrete and they are incredibly short and make a decent 3-step approach impossible. I started throwing from the side of the tee just because it was affecting my tee shot so terribly

- Some of the holes interfere with park users (#2, #7 especially)

- The baskets are pretty low to the ground since they are placed in a hole and cement was poured over the base, thus making a portable basket permanent, but also lowering the basket height

Other Thoughts:

The course was fun to play but it didn't have enough to offer that would merit a stop between Pocatello (offering Ross park, Bengal Ridge, and Sister City) Blackfoot (Blackfoot DGC), and Idaho Falls (Freeman Park). Overall the course is well kept and it gives the area a nice option other than traveling to the other mentioned places.

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 26, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

-good signs at each tee
-good variety of obstacles
-doesn't seem too busy

Cons:

-the par 5 holes should be par 4
-not very technical except for a couple where you have to avoid man made structures (like a tennis court)

Other Thoughts:

played this only once, and it was late in the year so hardly anyone was there, but I get the impression the park isn't usually very full at any time of the year (I'm from around the area). Good place to take beginners, and still worth the 5 minute detour off of the interstate for more advanced players. Great way to take a break from long, boring drives on the interstate in southern Idaho.
