Ace Runner’s Delight 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 28, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

+nice Mach III baskets
+scenic ocean view on hole 5
+decent amount of shade for hot summer beach vacation rounds
+pretty oak trees
+lots of ace runs, a great place to introduce new players to the sport

Cons:

-current layout does not match the maps posted here; best to park right next to the dog park because that's where hole 1's tee box is located
-overlapping fairways, not really a big issue but can get a little confusing trying to navigate
-no holes over 250 feet and most under 200
-natural tee pads that are marked by white Dynamic discs flags, but the flags are missing on some tees

Other Thoughts:

I wasn't expecting much out of this course, and it is probably the smallest piece of land I've ever encountered for 9 holes, but it was still quick and fun. The limitations of this small piece of land forced the designers to put a lot of baskets close to each other and overlapping holes are a common, but necessary evil. Obviously this course should never host a tournament, but I'm glad it's there. The second pass I made through, I tried to ace every hole, since they're all so short. There's just enough trees to make you use more than one midrange or driver, although the four discs I played with were enough to cover everything. I liked the skip-shot hole 9 and the basket next to the water on 5.
